Integrated spectrum Warfare (ISW)

The Integrated Spectrum Warfare (ISW) Broad Agency Announcement, solicitation N6893625S0001, is issued by the Joint Electronic Attack and Compatibility Office under the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division. The objective is to prototype advanced technical solutions using commercial-off-the-shelf components to enhance cyberspace, electromagnetic spectrum operations, and electronic warfare capabilities, with a specific focus on 5G ecosystem technologies. These awards are executed as Other Transactions for prototypes under 10 U.S.C. 4022, meaning they are not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation or the Competition in Contracting Act. Interested firms must be registered in the System for Award Management to be eligible. The government is seeking white papers of no more than seven pages, which must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submissions are accepted through August 21, 2027. Evaluation is based on scientific and technical merit, key personnel qualifications, data rights assertions, the level of participation from non-traditional defense contractors or nonprofit research institutions, and budget justification. Successful candidates will be selected following a JEACO evaluation and Agreement Officer selection, with payments structured as firm fixed price milestone events. Due to the nature of the work, the government anticipates security requirements classified higher than Secret for certain projects.
