The contract period includes a base year from July 11, 2026, through July 10, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions through July 10, 2031, subject to government funding and discretion.

All work must occur at the Bremerton, Washington facility and adhere to strict security protocols, including U.S. citizenship requirements for personnel, security screening for a green badge, and compliance with facility badging and conduct rules. The Government retains unlimited rights to all deliverables, including software, documentation, and source code, and prohibits the contractor from using or selling such items without written authorization. The contract requires the designation of a Contract Manager and Alternate with full authority, and all contractor personnel must wear identifiable badges while on government property. No pricing details, line items, or evaluation factors are included because the procurement is non-competitive, and no set-aside or socioeconomic preferences are applicable.
