OPSEC Plan Development

The contract requires the development and implementation of an Operational Security Plan specifically for contractors working at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, with the goal of safeguarding sensitive operational information during contract performance. The plan must be tailored to mitigate risks associated with the handling, transmission, and storage of classified or controlled unclassified information within a naval facility, ensuring compliance with applicable defense and security standards. This subcontract is set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside authority, and the North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates that the work pertains to management consulting services, emphasizing strategic planning and security advisory functions. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of May 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM, following issuance of the solicitation on May 5, 2026. Performance is confined to the Kittery area, where contractors will be required to operate under stringent security protocols and coordinate closely with Department of Defense personnel to uphold operational integrity. The absence of a listed point of contact suggests submissions must follow standardized procedures outlined in the solicitation, and contractors must be prepared to demonstrate expertise in security planning, risk assessment, and defense contract compliance. All work must align with federal acquisition regulations and the specific mission-critical security needs of the naval facility.
