***NOAA'S MARINE OPERATION CENTER ACQUISITION BRANCH*** OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS (OMAO), MARINE OPERAITONS ENGINEERING OFFICE INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH EXAIL, INC, OUT OF DENVER, CO FOR EXAIL GYROCOMPASS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR NOAA SHIP OKEANOS EXPLORER.
THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT EXAIL, INC IS THE SOLE MANUFACTURER AND PROVIDER OF EXAIL GYROCOMPASS REPLACEMENT PARTS. EXAIL, INC DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED PARTNERS/RESELLERS WHO CAN PROVIDE THESE GYROCOMPASS, PARTS.
? Compatibility with Existing Fleet Navigation Architecture: NOAA Marine Operations
vessels currently operate Exail (formerly iXblue) Fiber Optic Gyrocompass (FOG) systems.
Acquiring identical OEM Quadrans G2 units ensures seamless plug-and-play
interchangeability with existing shipboard mounting, power distribution, signal cables, and
data interface protocols without requiring costly structural or electronic reconfigurations.
? Proprietary Technology and System Firmware: Exail is the sole designer, original
equipment manufacturer, and intellectual property owner of the Quadrans G2 system,
proprietary fiber optic sensor technology, and embedded operational software/firmware.
? Risk of Alternate Sources: Installing non-OEM gyrocompass systems or sourcing through
unauthorized third parties would introduce critical operational risks, including potential data
protocol incompatibilities with primary shipboard navigation suites, loss of IMO compliance certification, invalidation of existing fleet warranties, and unacceptable vessel
downtime during mission-critical oceanographic operations.
NOAA maintains a fleet of Research vessels performing Oceanographic research and Hydrographic surveys. To standardize the fleet, the majority of the NOAA Fleet have been outfitted with EXAIL GYROCOMPASSES.
