EOD NexGen UBAs
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division is conducting a market survey for a next-generation closed-circuit underwater breathing apparatus to meet Explosive Ordnance Disposal diving requirements. The system must have primary capabilities for mixed-gas diving to 328 feet and meet specific resistive effort, oxygen control, magnetic signature, and environmental standards, with a path to secondary capabilities through government-funded improvements. The government is seeking information on current commercial products and industry ability to modify fielded systems, with responses required to include detailed technical specifications, manufacturing capabilities, and estimated unit costs for production quantities. This is solely a request for information for planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation.
