N0003922R0003 - Cancelled solicitation update

The solicitation identified as N0003922R0003 for NILE ISS5 was officially cancelled on February 1, 2022, after the closing date of January 31, 2022, passed without any proposals submitted, including from the incumbent contractor. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command under the Department of Defense indicated plans to modify the Performance Work Statement requirements before issuing a new solicitation in the near future. There is also consideration to reserve the upcoming competition exclusively for small businesses, encouraging non-U.S. companies that fall under the NILE Memorandum of Agreement to form subcontracting partnerships with U.S. small business entities. This contract effort was aligned with NAICS code 541512 and originated from the Office located in San Diego, California. The cancellation update was communicated by the contract specialist Kate McCoy, who remains the point of contact for further inquiries. The Navy intends to reissue the solicitation once revisions are complete, focusing on enhancing opportunities for small business participation while supporting international collaboration through subcontracting arrangements.
