Background

The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to identify authorized and verified sources of services for an anticipated Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm-fixed price elements under NAICS code 541511 that has a size standard of $34M. The proposed contract vehicle will provide all the required supplies and support services.

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Notice for Information Only. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. This sources sought notice is not to be construed in any way as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response.

Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk is seeking information on qualified and experienced sources for planning purposes, in an effort to derive a contract vehicle, to provide contractor support for Naval Information Warfighting Development Center (NIWDC) through a focus on missions, functions, and tasks (MF&T) specifically related to the mission areas of Electronic Warfare Data (EWD) production in support of the Navy Information Operations Database (NIODB) and Reprogrammable Library Support Program. The attached draft PWS addresses the required tasks, knowledge/skill/ability of contractor personnel, and outline of support required. At this time, this PWS is not finalized and may be revised prior to the publication of a solicitation. The period of performance for the anticipated contract is a five (5) year ordering period and the FAR 52.217-8 additional six (6) month performance extension if required by the Government.

Please see the attached draft PWS for further information. Responses to this Sources Sought Notice shall reference the Opportunity Name, “NIWDC Electronic Warfare Support Services” and shall include the following information in this format:

1. Company name, address, point of contact, phone number, fax number and email address.

2. Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

3. Size of business-Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantage, 8(a), Hubzone, Woman-owned and/or Service Disabled Veteran-owned.

4. Proof/confirmation that contractor possesses current Top Secret/Sensitive Compartment Information (TS/SCI) facilities clearance.

5. Capability statement displaying the contractor’s ability to provide the services, to include past performance information. If past performance information is provided, please include only relevant past performance on the same/similar work within the last 5 years. Please also include in past performance information the contract numbers, dollar value, and period of performance for each contract referenced in the response to the sources sought.

6. The Government is still determining the acquisition strategy and if this acquisition will be a small business set-aside, then FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies. Note that if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small businesses, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR clause 52.219-14.

7. If it is determined that a small business set-aside is appropriate and your company anticipates submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for a small business set-aside, please provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, and if subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of the effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large business subcontractors will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided.

8. Include any other supporting documentation to include your Seaport-NxG and or GSA contract number and contracting experience under Seaport-NxG or GSA task orders awarded, task order number, award date, period of performance/lead time for delivery, sub or prime, and a brief description.

9. Provide any questions, comments, feedback regarding the draft PWS, planned contract type or any other associated information.

Submissions are not to exceed five (5) type written pages and no less than 10-point font. Please note that if a cover page/letter is included, it counts towards the page limit. Responses shall be emailed to Kendall Mulherin at kendall.l.mulherin.civ@us.navy.mil by 1:00pm EST on 29 April 2026. Again, this is not a Request for Proposal. Respondents will not be notified of the results and the Government is not required to answer any questions submitted in regards to this Sources Sought Notice.
