Antifouling Panel Testing
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to The University of Hawaii at Manoa for testing biofouling paints and coatings in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This is a sole-source requirement due to environmental factors limiting geographic testing areas and the need for consistency with existing university data. Performance will take place at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Kewalo Marine Laboratory in Honolulu, HI, with work spanning from June 19, 2026, to December 18, 2026. Award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable, and offerors must demonstrate technical acceptability by meeting specific criteria, including past similar work and compliance with cybersecurity requirements. No budget amount is specified in the description.
