NSWC IHD Professional Facility Support Service

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division is conducting a sources sought effort to identify qualified industry partners capable of delivering comprehensive Professional Facilities Support Services for its energetic manufacturing facilities in Indian Head, Maryland. This initiative, identified by solicitation number N0017426RFPREQ1020111 and classified under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services), seeks firms with proven expertise in the full lifecycle management of energetic facilities—including design, development, sustainment, restoration, and modernization. Work will primarily occur at the NSWC IHD campus, with potential travel to other U.S. locations, and requires deep technical knowledge in energetics manufacturing to ensure safety and operational effectiveness. Respondents must demonstrate capacity in engineering analysis such as blast and structural evaluations, generate complex technical design packages, manage configuration of engineering drawings, produce Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Project Plans, and provide construction inspection and startup oversight. Key personnel must include a program manager, project management staff, and engineers and scientists specializing in mechanical, electrical, and process controls systems. The opportunity is restricted exclusively to holders of the Seaport NxG Multiple Award Contract, and all respondents must be active in SAM.gov under the appropriate NAICS code with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. A completed Sources Sought Questionnaire is mandatory and must be submitted alongside a capabilities statement limited to six single-sided pages, formatted in single spacing with a minimum 12-point font. Financial bonding information—including surety name, maximum per-project capacity, total aggregate capability, and current bonding strength—is required. Businesses are required to self-certify their socioeconomic status, including eligibility as small business, HUBZone, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or Section 8(a) firms, though no set-aside has been designated. The submission deadline is June 4, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, and responses must be sent electronically via email to Kara Walter at NSWC_IHD_CODE_0262@us.navy.mil with the company name in the subject line; no hard copies, faxes, or phone inquiries will be accepted. The anticipated total project value ranges between $50 million and $100 million, though this is a preliminary estimate for market research purposes only, and no award or contract will result directly from this notice.
