The Department of Defense, through the Commanding Officer at Port Hueneme, California, is seeking proposals under solicitation DIG-27-02-001 to design and produce a custom hardware chassis prototype. The project aims to resolve a physical compatibility issue where a new commercial network router does not fit into existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinets. The objective is to create a secure chassis that allows the router to integrate with current power supplies and equipment racks without requiring a full system redesign. This opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541715 and is managed via the NSWC-PHD MATAC OTA process. Proposals must be submitted by October 8, 2026. Following the successful development and testing of the prototype, the government intends to transition the project into a production phase for up to 60 units.

Full Description

Show more

Background & Problem Statement: Our current system needs an upgraded network router to handle modern data requirements, but the new commercial router does not physically fit into the standard equipment racks used on our ships. We lack a customized hardware chassis that can physically secure the new router and connect it to existing power supplies without disrupting the rest of the equipment.


Desired Objectives: The Navy desires to build a custom chassis prototype to house a new network router so it can fit perfectly into our existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet (TEC). This will allow us to upgrade our system's network technology without having to completely redesign or replace the current equipment racks. Upon successful completion, the Government intends to transition this prototype to a follow-on production phase for up to 60 units.

ManTech special Broad Agency Announcement (sBAA): Accelerating Maritime Modernization: Innovation in Naval Manufacturing, Sustainment, and Industrial Base Capability
Solicitation # N0001426SB002
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has issued a special Broad Agency Announcement (sBAA) titled Accelerating Maritime Modernization: Innovation in Naval Manufacturing, Sustainment, and Industrial Base Capability. This research and development opportunity, managed through the Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program, aims to drive innovations that improve the speed, throughput, and resiliency of the naval industrial base. The program specifically supports the Golden Fleet Initiative to enhance the readiness and longevity of naval assets by addressing challenges in shipyards, maintenance depots, and supply chains. Key technology focus areas include composites, welding, AR/VR, digital shipyard support, and advanced packaging for rugged electronics. The solicitation is structured in two phases, with Phase I targeting immediate, high-value technological efforts and Phase II focusing on emerging future needs. The procurement process utilizes a two-step approach, beginning with a white paper submission followed by a down-select to a detailed full proposal consisting of technical and cost volumes. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs). For Phase I, the government plans to fund approximately 3 to 5 projects under 6.2 Applied Research with values between $500,000 and $3,000,000, and 5 to 10 projects under 6.3 with values between $1,500,000 and $5,000,000. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, Navy relevance and impact, ManTech appropriateness, and small business participation, rather than being evaluated against one another. The expected period of performance for projects is 1 to 2 years. Eligible offerors include both small and large businesses, provided they maintain an active SAM registration, a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and a CAGE code. A critical requirement for award is CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification. Additionally, an active DD-2345 Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification will be heavily weighed during the evaluation of organizational credentials. The response deadline for this solicitation is July 16, 2027. All submissions must be made through the designated ONR Submission Portal, and successful applicants must demonstrate a clear, quantifiable impact on the production or sustainment lifecycle along with a credible transition plan to a naval platform or industrial facility.
