The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) has issued a Sources Sought notice, solicitation N0016426SNC04, to conduct market research for engineering, technical, and programmatic support services for the Weapon Systems Development Division (Code JXP). The government seeks non-personal Level of Effort (LOE) support in areas including small arms, small arms ammunition, pyrotechnics, demolitions, asymmetric initiation systems, and unmanned/counter-unmanned systems. The anticipated procurement will be a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) task order issued via the SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract vehicle. The scope of work encompasses systems engineering, prototype fabrication, test and evaluation, and lifecycle logistics, with performance occurring across laboratories, explosive test facilities, and indoor/outdoor firing ranges. Key requirements for this effort include access to classified information up to the Secret level and specialized personnel certifications, such as Level I/II NDT Radiographers, CDL HAZMAT drivers, and Cyber Security Workforce credentials. Compliance with various standards is mandatory, including NIST SP 800-171, DoDD 5205.02, and MIL-STD-129R. The government is currently utilizing this notice to determine whether to pursue a small business set-aside or unrestricted competition, and is soliciting industry feedback to identify tasks that can be transitioned to Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) per Executive Order 14402, as well as recommendations for objective Acceptable Quality Levels within the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.

Full Description

Show more
This is a Sources Sought notice issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) in support of the Weapon Systems Development Division (Code JXP). This notice is issued solely for market research and planning purposes in accordance with FAR Part 10. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the Department of War (DoW) to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. All costs associated with responding to this notice will be solely at the respondents expense. NSWC Crane Code JXP serves as the Navys engineering agent and full life-cycle support facility, providing technical leadership in the areas of Small Arms, Small Arms Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, Demolitions, Asymmetric Initiation Systems, and Unmanned/Counter-Unmanned Systems (UxS/C-UxS). The Government requires non-personal Level of Effort (LOE) engineering, technical, programmatic, management, test and evaluation, logistics, and in-service support services. The operational environment requires support across indoor/outdoor firing ranges, explosive test facilities, and laboratories. Performance requires access to classified information up to the SECRET level and requires specialized personnel certifications (e.g., Level I/II NDT Radiographers, CDL HAZMAT drivers, and Cyber Security Workforce [CSWF] credentials). The Government intends to utilize the SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle for this procurement. The anticipated contract type is Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Level of Effort Task Order. The primary objectives of this Sources Sought are to: 1. Determine Industrial Base Capabilities: Assess the capabilities of Small Business and Large Business SeaPort-NxG prime contractors to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy (e.g., 100% Small Business Set-Aside vs. Unrestricted Competition). 2. Optimize for Executive Order (EO) 14402: Solicit specific industry feedback to identify SOW tasking that is sufficiently mature, predictable, and deliverable-based to be executed as Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) rather than CPFF. 3. Enhance Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA): Solicit industry recommendations on the draft Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to establish objective, measurable Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) and effective incentive/disincentive structures.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION TESTING (EQT)
Solicitation # N0016427SNC12
The US Navy, through NSWC Crane, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) under announcement N00164-27-S-NC12 to identify qualified contractors capable of performing Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI) testing. The objective is to verify that the Combined All-Domain Command and Control System Afloat (CAC2S Afloat) Data Processing Assembly and Workstation Mount meet naval shipboard survival and operational requirements following a hardware technology refresh. Testing must adhere to several military standards, including MIL-DTL-901E for shipboard shock, MIL-STD-167-1A for vibration, MIL-STD-461G for electromagnetic interference, MIL-STD-810H for environmental engineering, and MIL-STD-1399 for shipboard power interfaces. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Joint Certification Program (JCP) to access the full Statement of Work. The government is seeking capabilities and budgetary estimates from commercial firms, non-profits, and academic institutions, with a strong encouragement for small and disadvantaged businesses to respond. Submissions, which may include a white paper of up to five pages and company literature, are due by November 18, 2026. While this RFI is used for market research to determine if the effort should be pursued via sole source or competitive procurement, the government explicitly states that no funding is currently available and this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract.
