The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to enter into a Sole Source agreement with Oceanbotics Inc. for the purchase of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) underwater robot, specifically the SRV-8 model. The DEP's Bureau of Police and Security (BPS) Emergency Services Unit (ESU) conducts search, rescue, and recovery operations, as well as infrastructure inspections, and this ROV will assist the ESU team with these critical tasks. The current Underwater ROV Sea Otter is no longer functional after 20 years of use, and the DEP is seeking a replacement. Any firm that believes it can provide the required service in the future is invited to indicate their interest in writing, which must be received by August 21, 2025, at 4:30 pm. • The DEP is seeking a Sole Source agreement for the purchase of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) underwater robot. • The ROV will be used by the ESU team for search, rescue, and recovery operations, as well as infrastructure inspections. • The current Underwater ROV Sea Otter is no longer functional and needs to be replaced. • Interested firms must submit their indication of interest in writing by August 21, 2025, at 4:30 pm. • The DEP is looking for a firm that can provide the required service in the future.
