Solicitation # DON27BX01-NP001
The United States Navy, through the Office of Naval Research, is soliciting proposals under solicitation DON27BX01-NP001 for domestically sourced, low-cost, and NDAA-compliant Heads Up Display (HUD) technology. This total small business set-aside seeks existing prototypes or commercial products to support first-person view drone pilots and provide augmented reality capabilities for Forward Observers and Joint Terminal Air Controllers. Technical requirements focus on two primary areas: HUDs for FPV operations with integrated displays and mounting for organic equipment, and integrated HUDs featuring native 6 degrees-of-freedom tracking utilizing on-board sensors such as IMUs, magnetometers, and cameras. The program is structured as a phased effort using Prototype Other Transaction agreements. Phase I consists of a six-month base period with a maximum funding of 200,000 dollars and a six-month option period not to exceed 115,000 dollars. Successful Phase I awardees must provide a feasibility description and a transition approach to potentially move into Phase II, which offers a maximum award of 2,000,000 dollars. Proposals are evaluated based on technical approach, qualifications of key personnel, and commercial potential. Awardees are expected to meet CMMC Level 2 self-certification requirements and adhere to strict domestic sourcing and cybersecurity regulations.

Input-Output Unit (IOU) for Secure Processing and Routing of Hull, Mechanical, & Electrical (HM&E) and Navigation Signals
Solicitation # DON27BZ01-NV004
The United States Navy, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting Phase I proposals from Small Business Concerns to develop a dust-protected and water splash-resistant Input-Output Unit (IOU) for secure processing and routing of navigation and hull, mechanical, and electrical signals. The IOU serves as a critical translation point between non-Ethernet traffic, such as analog synchro and low-level serial data, and Ethernet user systems across various naval vessels and facilities. The Navy aims to replace legacy hardware and proprietary designs with a simplified, open modular system architecture to reduce lifecycle costs and hardware dependencies. Key technical requirements include an IEC 60529 IP54 rating, RoHS compliance, and a Mean Time Between Failures exceeding 10,000 hours for all components. The unit must support a wide array of interfaces, including RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, NTDS-E, fiber and Cat 5 Ethernet, and analog voltage and synchro capabilities, while accommodating 50 percent future growth capacity. Physically, the IOU must not exceed 188 pounds and dimensions of 26 inches wide by 27 inches high by 17 inches deep. It must operate on redundant 120V 60Hz shipboard lighting circuits, consume less than 600 Watts when fully loaded, and comply with rigorous military standards including MIL-STD-1399-300, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-DTL-901, MIL-STD-167, and MIL-HDBK-2164. Networking requirements mandate full compliance with IPv4, IPv6, IP Multicasting, and the Parallel Redundancy Protocol. This Phase I effort is funded with a base amount up to 200,000 dollars and an option up to 115,000 dollars, with awards potentially utilizing Firm Fixed Price, Basic Ordering Agreement, or Prototype Other Transaction strategies. Proposals are evaluated primarily on technical merit, followed by the qualifications of key personnel and commercialization potential. Awardees must also meet specific cybersecurity requirements, including NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC standards.

Cleaner for the Time Domain Reflectometer Tank Level Indicator
Solicitation # DON27BZ01-NV001
The United States Navy, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking an innovative in-situ cleaning solution for Time Domain Reflectometer Tank Level Indicator sensors used on DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. These sensors are critical for managing fuel, buoyancy, and stability, but they frequently suffer from fouling caused by crystallization and other contaminants. Current maintenance requires taking fuel compensating tanks offline, defueling, and manual sensor removal, which is operationally untenable, risks sensor miscalibration, and has previously led to fuel spills. The Navy requires a technology that can clean and potentially reverse fouling throughout the entire TDR assembly without requiring depressurization, defueling, or dewatering, ensuring full operational status for a threshold of 8 months and an objective of 36 months. This effort is being solicited as a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research program under solicitation DON27BZ01-NV001, set aside for Small Business Concerns. The maximum funding for Phase I is 200,000 dollars for the base effort and 115,000 dollars for the option, totaling up to 315,000 dollars. Proposals are evaluated primarily on technical merit, followed by the qualifications of key personnel and commercialization potential. Awardees must meet a projected CMMC Level 2 Self cybersecurity requirement and implement NIST SP 800-171 standards to protect controlled unclassified information. Proposals must be submitted via the DSIP portal, with the technical volume limited to 10 pages.

Intermediate Temperature Cooling Unit
Solicitation # DON27BZ01-NV005
The United States Navy, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting proposals under solicitation DON27BZ01-NV005 for the design and qualification of a compact Intermediate Temperature Cooling Unit for DDG 51 class ships. The objective is to reduce the electrical load and condensation risks associated with current 42 degree Fahrenheit chilled water systems by developing a unit that operates at approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The required system must integrate a chiller, circulating pump, piping, instrumentation, and controls while maintaining a small footprint and adhering to strict Navy standards for shock, noise, vibration, electromagnetic interference, and galvanic compatibility with copper-nickel piping. Proposers must define specific performance metrics, including cooling capacity, energy efficiency, power draw, and physical dimensions. This effort is conducted as a Small Business Innovation Research program set aside for Small Business Concerns under NAICS code 333415. The project is structured in phases, with Phase I focusing on concept development and feasibility demonstration, and Phase III supporting fleet transition through the creation of installation and maintenance manuals. Phase I funding is capped at 200,000 dollars for the base and 115,000 dollars for the option. Awards may be issued as Firm Fixed Price, Basic Ordering Agreement, or Prototype Other Transaction contracts. Evaluation is based on technical merit, investigator qualifications, and commercial potential. Awardees must comply with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity standards to protect controlled unclassified information.

Fire Resistant Joiner Bulkhead
Solicitation # DON27BZ01-NV002
The United States Navy, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting Phase I proposals under solicitation DON27BZ01-NV002 to develop an improved fire-resistant joiner bulkhead. The primary objective is to enhance compartment-level fire containment on Navy vessels to protect personnel and equipment and facilitate more effective damage control. To be viable, any proposed material or system must not significantly increase the weight or width of current bulkheads, must be cost-effective for shipyard installation, and must meet strict safety standards, specifically MIL-STD-3020 for shock and fire performance and MIL-STD-1623 for fire, smoke, and toxicity. The Navy is interested in innovations involving intumescent coatings, nanomaterials, high-performance fibers, bio-composites, or bio-polymers. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under the SBIR program, with a response deadline of November 25, 2026. Phase I funding is capped at 200,000 dollars for the base effort, with an additional option of up to 115,000 dollars and up to 6,500 dollars for Technical and Business Assistance. Proposals must be submitted via the DSIP portal, with the technical volume limited to 10 pages. Evaluation is based on technical merit, the qualifications of key personnel, and commercialization potential, rather than a comparative cost analysis. Awardees must comply with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements to safeguard federal contract information and controlled unclassified information.
