Electronic Armor Engineering Services

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport is soliciting a sole-source Firm Fixed Price purchase order for Electronic Armor Engineering Services from Nightwing Intelligence Solutions, leveraging its proprietary ownership of the Execution Enabler and Boot Shield software to support cybersecurity compliance modifications on weapon subsystems. The scope includes Level 1 and Level 0 engineering labor totaling 500 and 200 hours respectively, along with on-site integration trips—two during the base period and up to four additional trips across optional periods extending up to three years post-award. The contract requires strict adherence to NIST SP 800-171 and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 requirements, with offerors mandated to maintain an active CMMC Level 2 self-assessment in the Supplier Performance Risk System and a current NIST assessment score no older than three years. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, export controls, counterfeit parts avoidance, and electronic payments via WAWF is mandatory. Evaluation is on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable basis, with technical acceptability contingent upon active SAM registration, valid CAGE and Unique Entity IDs, no negative past performance in SPRS, and full compliance with all cybersecurity and reporting obligations. Only electronic submissions via email to Hannah Murphy, the designated point of contact, are accepted, and all proposals must be in Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat formats. Security requirements are governed by deviation from standard clauses, including the use of Alternate IV for termination and a customized version of 252.204-7012. The place of performance is the Government facility in Newport, Rhode Island, where all on-site support and inspections occur. A future requirement mandates C3PAO-verified CMMC Level 2 certification for any option exercise after November 10, 2026. The Government retains flexibility to modify performance periods and exercise options early, and no contract pricing details are disclosed in the solicitation.
