NAVOCEANO, located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi is conducting Market Research for various technical support to include, oceanographic, acoustic, logistic, and electronic support for the theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) scientific and technical services. This is not a solicitation, but rather a Request for Information/Sources Sought to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for planning purposes only. See attached Draft PWS for details. This is a complex action that requires multiple services for specific and highly skilled personnel. Although, only one NAICS may be designated to the contract, for the purpose of this inquiry we are revealing multiple NAICS that are applicable to more clearly classify the complexities of the requirement for potential vendors. For example, acoustics and geoacoustic databasing and processing is a very small/specific skill set that is difficult to fit in one classification, but the personnel should be capable of taskings like data mining and documentation writing that fall under the broader NAICS, such as 541511 (below). Skills highlighted in the PWS are indicative of a highly experienced mathematician/physicist/geologist or even a specific type oceanographer. Other applicable NAICS are the 541330 (below), which satisfies the geologic component of the requirement. The subsets of it, such as 541512, meet the IT requirements, and 541360, Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Service, meet the acoustical engineering consulting and acoustical system engineering design services requirement. The potential applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes that may be assigned to this procurement are listed below, beginning with the NAICS Code that is labeled on this notice: NAICS 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services.
