Please note that this is a correction to the previously published notice. The contract value was incorrectly stated due to a currency conversion error. Although the value was converted from USD to GBP, it was mistakenly still labelled as USD, which made the contract value appear lower than it actually is.
This notice does not represent a new or additional purchase, but solely serves to correct the previously published contract value. 
 The goods required are proprietary sensor components for the Slocum™ glider platform, manufactured exclusively by Teledyne Webb Research (TWR), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
