Solicitation # N0038326QNB29
Solicitation N0038326QNB29, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia, is a total small business set-aside for the teardown, evaluation, repair, and modification of LC Processors (NSN 7B22-01-522-2097). The scope includes an initial induction of 17 units with option pricing requested for up to 25 units over a three-year period, with a possible three-year extension. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, facilities, and tooling to return units to a Ready For Issue condition, as the government will not provide manufacturing aids. Key technical requirements include the use of SAE-AS22759 series wire instead of MIL-W-81381 and compliance with MIL-STD-130 for markings and ISO 9001 or SAE AS9100 for quality management. The government will make a single award based on the most advantageous offer, prioritizing past performance over price. Award evaluation includes SPRS risk assessments for item, price, and supplier risk. Contractual terms include a one-year warranty after delivery, FOB Destination shipping, and a 90-day delivery window. Specific provisions are in place for Beyond Economical Repair and Missing on Induction determinations, both requiring DCMA concurrence. All work must be performed at the identified facility, and any changes to repair manuals or sources require approval from the Procuring Contracting Officer. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1, and electronic invoicing is required via the Wide Area Workflow system.

Naval Research Laboratory - Request for Information (RFI)


Small Satellite Survey Optics


The Naval Research Lab (NRL) is posting a Request for Information (RFI) and seeking potential sources for planning purposes only. This notice is not a formal Request for Proposal (RFP).  No awards will be made from the responses to this announcement. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with the development and submission of materials in response to this request. There is no solicitation available at this time. However, should a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against NRL shall arise as a result of a response to this notice or NRL’s use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. Inquiries for additional information other than that provided herein will receive no response. 



Objective:


 Optical space domain awareness (SDA) sensors often face difficult trades between field of view and sensitivity. Detecting objects of interest at significant range requires large effective apertures, but surveillance of unknown or maneuverable objects requires fields of view of at least several degrees. Along with modern large-format detectors and advanced image processing techniques, fast, moderate-to-large aperture space telescopes are required to meet this need.


NRL is interested in optics meeting the below technical parameters suitable for deployment on Evolved Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA)-class small satellites (ESPA, ESPA Grande) as part of an SDA payload. Potential missions may use any orbit regime (LEO to xGEO/Cislunar) with mission lifetimes of three to five years. Solutions are ideally COTS, Modified COTS (MCOTS) or Modified Off-The Shelf (MOTS) telescopes, however custom designs meeting NRLs needs are still of interest if space optics design experience, testing, or flight heritage of similar telescopes can be appropriately demonstrated.


Complete sensor payload solutions are not of interest; this requirement is seeking a telescope (i.e. not complete payload) only. However, space flight heritage in a complete payload shall be noted and will be viewed favorably.



Technical Requirements: See attached .pdf file for details. 




Business Classifications:                  NAICS:          334511           PSC:  6650



Contractor Response:

  1. Business name and address;
  2. Name of company representative, business title and email;
  3. Telephone number, address, and e-mail address of POC
  4. Large or Small Business Size and Type of Small Business (if applicable);
  5. Cage Code;
  6. UEID Number;
