The Government is accepting information regarding capabilities and facilities from companies potentially capable of meeting the requirements as described above.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to issue a Request for Proposal on or near 15 June 2020 for the above requirement in accordance with the attached DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW). This effort is anticipated to be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

All interested parties are encouraged to submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than five pages, and/or other pertinent information. Responses should include a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary cost estimate, production units, production quantity breaks and a lead-time of the solution.
