Solicitation # H9224026SC001
The Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) is utilizing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation H9224026SC001 to accelerate the development, procurement, and integration of unmanned systems (UxS) capabilities. This initiative supports the Joint Force, Special Operations Forces (SOF), and allied partners by seeking innovative solutions in several Areas of Interest, specifically UxS as a Service, First Person View (FPV) platforms for ISR and kinetic operations, and UxS training. The scope encompasses a wide array of requirements, including complete UxS systems, payloads, Command and Control (C2) software, artificial intelligence for processing and exploitation, and communications equipment. Technical priorities include interoperability with systems like Lattice and Hivemind, adherence to a Modular Open Systems Approach, and strict compliance with FAA, ICAO, and cybersecurity standards, with a prohibition on components from covered countries. The procurement process is structured in three phases: Phase I involves the submission of unclassified solution briefs via the Vulcan portal; Phase II consists of demonstrations and pitches requiring the provision of at least three operational units and two trained operators; and Phase III involves the collaborative development of Statements of Work and final negotiations. NSWC anticipates awarding either Firm-Fixed Price contracts under FAR Part 12 or Other Transaction Authority (OT) agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022-23.
