The brief

This contract was for the supply of SBE37‑SMP‑ODO moored CTD instruments and associated 7000‑metre rated components required as a standalone replacement purchase.

The equipment must be sourced from the manufacturer's authorised representative because it is technically compatible with NOC's existing moored instrumentation fleet and is required to operate seamlessly with current sensors, housings and deployment configurations.

No alternative supplier can provide instruments with the required compatibility or performance for integration with NOC's established Sea‑Bird systems.

This is a below‑threshold direct award made on the basis of essential technical standardisation and compatibility.
