The contract will support systems engineering, research, development, prototyping, and testing to assess maritime systems, while also including engineering support for mission operations and launch and recovery processes. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 541330, with a size standard of $38.5 million, and anticipates a single Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract lasting five years, with an additional six-month option period.

The contract will employ cost-type contract models including Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Cost Reimbursable No Fee arrangements and will consist of five ordering periods spanning from January 2020 through January 2025, plus a six-month extension option. Prospective contractors must complete annual electronic certifications through the System for Award Management (SAM).
