Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Stretch Mooring

wires coiled inside designed to moor meterological buoys and allow information and power to be transferred from the top of the buoy to instruments down below. The reinforced rubber stretch hose was developed for mooring systems that require a stable platform for sensors or acoustics. It can stretch

to 1.5 times its original length and serves as a highly effective and robust mechanical isolator between the surface buoy and the quiet lower mooring section. The hose construction makes use of elastomer-synthetic composite technology for e
