NSWC-PHD MATAC OTA Request for Prototype Proposals: Prototypes and Experiments Rapid Fielding Sites (PERFS)

The Department of Defense, through the Commanding Officer at Port Hueneme, California, is seeking proposals under solicitation MEA-27-01-001 for the Prototypes and Experiments Rapid Fielding Sites (PERFS). This initiative aims to establish a scalable operational framework to rapidly integrate, evaluate, and transition maritime and border defense technologies from laboratory settings to active field operations. The project addresses the Navy's current lack of a standardized, agile testing methodology for evaluating emerging intelligence and defense capabilities against dynamic threats. The primary objective is to design and validate a repeatable business and operational process prototype that accelerates the delivery of maritime dominance capabilities to the warfighter. Interested parties must submit their responses by October 28, 2026. This opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541715 and is managed as a special notice for prototype proposals.
