Shipboard Sensor Support

This solicitation, identified as N0017826R3000 and titled Shipboard Sensor Support, is a competitive, full and open cost-plus-fixed-fee task order issued under the SeaPort-NxG multiple award contract vehicle, exclusively available to qualified SeaPort-NxG contractors. The requirement is for engineering and technical services to support the restoration, overhaul, maintenance, sustainment, removal, installation, repair, procurement, logistics, and testing of platform antennas and antenna systems to ensure operational readiness of Communication and Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) systems across the fleet. Work will be performed at government or contractor facilities, primarily located in Dahlgren, Virginia, with performance spanning from November 15, 2027, through November 14, 2032, including multiple option periods. Labor hour requirements are structured in base and surge increments of 51,456 and 10,291 hours respectively across four option periods, with additional ODC and NSP line items supporting the labor effort. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the PIEE Solicitation Module by July 2, 2026, and must adhere to strict formatting requirements including 12-point Times New Roman font, single spacing, one-inch margins, and searchable PDFs or Microsoft Office 2010+ compatible files. Offerors are required to include a comprehensive technical approach, management and personnel strategy, and a detailed cost proposal using Attachment 08, with all cost elements fully broken down and formula-based. The evaluation is based on three factors: Technical (Factor 1), Past Performance (Factor 2), and Cost Proposal (Factor 3), with the Technical factor serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate requiring an “Acceptable” or higher rating to remain eligible for award. Technical evaluation centers on the soundness of the approach, managerial organization, and personnel qualifications. Past Performance is rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable, while Cost is significantly less important than the combined Technical and Past Performance factors. Award will be made using a trade-off process, prioritizing technical capability and past performance over price. Offerors must possess a Secret-level Facility Security Clearance at the time of proposal submission and comply with NISPOm, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding classified and controlled unclassified information.
