NMT-X SATSIM COA Opt 1

The Navy is seeking an alternative to the End-of-Life SATSIM located in Largo that was previously used to support production testing for the NMT-X program. With these SATSIM units no longer available due to obsolescence and high demand across other development initiatives, the focus has shifted to identifying a replacement solution capable of performing Quality Conformance Inspection - A on every deliverable. This new capability must ensure consistent verification of product conformity during production but is explicitly not required to support full First Article Inspection or Testing requirements. The alternative solution must be operationally viable and integrated into the production workflow to maintain quality assurance standards without reverting to outdated or unavailable hardware. The effort is scoped under the NMT-X SATSIM COA Opt 1 initiative, with solicitation activity anticipated to follow the forecast posted on August 10, 2026. While the solicitation number has not yet been assigned, the place of performance is designated as San Diego, and the Naval Information Warfare Systems command is the executing agency. Point of contact for inquiries is Kenneth Nickel, Contracting Officer, with Adam Barker as the secondary contact. All responses and future procurement actions will be coordinated through the official Navy procurement portal, ensuring transparency and alignment with established acquisition protocols.
