A -- Research & Development in Support of Multifunction Electronic Warfare (MFEW) Program

The Naval Research Laboratory plans to negotiate a contract with Shenandoah Solutions, Inc. under a sole-source procurement to support the Multifunction Electronic Warfare (MFEW) program, which follows the Multifunction RF Concept program that started in 1998. This contract aims to continue the transition and upgrading of the AMRFC core software for use in the MFEW Advanced Demonstration Model and test-bed. The scope includes software design, coding, testing, and integration support for key software components such as the Application Control Library, Resource Allocation Library, Embedded Controller Library, Universal Wrapper communications library, High-Level Resource Allocation Manager, test framework, and cross-platform build system. The contract duration is three years, and the procurement is justified under legal authority allowing for non-competitive negotiation with only one responsible source able to meet requirements. The contract falls under research and development and relates to the NAICS code 541330. The point of contact for this contract at the Naval Research Laboratory, Department of Defense, is F. Janilea Bays, located in Washington, DC. This solicitation is not open for competitive proposals, reflecting the specialized nature of the services and software expertise required. Overall, the contract is focused on advancing the electronic warfare capabilities through sustained development and enhancement of critical software systems used by the Navy.
