Navy Open Architecture

A collection of draft Navy Open Architecture (NOA) documents has been made available on the Naval Logistics Library (NLL) website for contractors to reference. These documents include Example Products, Standards and Products, Computing Standards, and a Design Guidance Document, all provided in a downloadable zipped file. Although accessible for informational purposes, these materials remain in draft form and are not authorized for incorporation into any NAVSEA contracts at this time. As the Navy advances its NOA initiatives, finalized versions of these documents and associated requirements will be disseminated through appropriate Contracting Officers. The documents can be located by navigating on the NLL site through the "commercial" button, then the "Contract Support Library," and by filtering the "NAVSEA Documents" in the Document Type list. The solicitation under which these materials are distributed is identified as Navy Open Architecture with solicitation number USN-SNOTE-021017-002, posted on October 17, 2002. Specific details about agency names, office locations, or points of contact are not provided in the notice. Contractors are encouraged to monitor updates from authorized Navy sources to obtain official guidance when final documentation is released.
