Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of a 10-12 m Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) Survey Vessel to the NURC, which is located in La Spezia, Italy. The RHIB Survey Vessel, 10 -12 m in length, will be used in offshore waters - 20 miles off the coast – and should be capable of operating up to sea state 5 and able to carry out survey work to facilitate research in using UAVs and gliders for harbor protection and mine countermeasure work. NURC is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. NURC intends to use the sealed bid (no negotiations) procedure.

The reference for this project is IFIB-ACT-NURC-09-60 and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. The Invitation for International Bid (IFIB) package will contain material at the level of NATO UNCLASSIFIED.
