AI Contract Overview
The Norfolk Naval Shipyard has issued a Request for Information to industry to explore innovative solutions for replacing the process controls of the Radioactive Liquid Waste Processing System at Naval Station Norfolk. This effort is in the research phase, with no current solicitation or contractual action, aiming to gather capabilities statements, rough order of magnitude estimates, and technical approaches from qualified businesses, including small and large firms. The project involves removing existing legacy control equipment and installing modern programmable logic controllers, HMIs, Ethernet switches, and associated hardware designed to meet stringent environmental, safety, and operational standards. The technical specifications emphasize modular, environmentally tolerant PLCs compliant with industry standards such as NEMA, IEEE, and IEC, with features supporting redundancy, fault logging, and expandability. The work will be performed at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, with an anticipated timeline to be determined, and contractors are encouraged to participate in site visits before December 16, 2025. The procurement process underscores strict security and compliance requirements, including the need for contractors to possess appropriate security clearances, obtain DBIDS badges, and safeguard sensitive information under Privacy Act and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) regulations. Contractors must register in the System for Award Management and certify that they are not suspended or debarred from federal contracts. The notice specifies that responses should be submitted electronically in PDF format by the deadline, with no proposal or solicitation package being issued at this stage. While detailed contract clauses related to privacy, security, and data handling are referenced, there are no specific details provided regarding contract administration, pricing, or evaluation criteria, as this is solely a market research effort. The project aims to identify capable industry sources and gather input to inform future acquisition strategies for upgrading critical process control systems at a sensitive and operationally vital facility.
