AI Contract Overview

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract to Amentum Services Inc. for Neutron, Linear Accelerator, and Combined Environment Testing Services. This requirement supports the Radiation Combined Environment Test Capability and military hardware survivability validation programs. The contractor will be responsible for the end-to-end operation, maintenance, and enhancement of government-owned nuclear weapon effects simulators, specifically the Dense Plasma Focus and Electron Linear Accelerator systems. Amentum Services Inc. has been identified as the only capable source due to their possession of secured real estate near NSWC Crane, completed facility designs, mature regulatory and safety licenses, and established integration with government equipment vendors. The government has determined that competing the requirement would lead to unacceptable mission-critical delays and significant duplicative costs. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 15, and the request for proposal will be sent directly to the vendor rather than posted on sam.gov.

A solicitation will NOT be posted to https://www.sam.gov due to the sole source nature of this requirement.


ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division, has a requirement and intends to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the procurement of Neutron, Linear Accelerator (LINAC), and Combined Environment Testing Services in support of the Radiation Combined Environment Test Capability (RCETC) and military hardware survivability validation programs.


The proposed contract action is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source: Amentum Services Inc., 4800 Westfields Blvd, Ste 400, Chantilly, VA 20151 (CAGE: 5W3V7) under the authority of FAR 6.103-1[JP1] , "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements" (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)). The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, the extreme duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable, mission-critical delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements through any other source.


To sustain reliable, technically advanced nuclear weapon effects (NWE) simulation testing without duplicating massive prior Government investments in pre-project planning, hosting solution design, and facility systemization, the Contractor must possess immediate, turn-key site and operational readiness. Specifically, the only source capable of satisfying this requirement must possess:


  1. Secured Real Estate: Existing secured real estate located within immediate proximity to NSWC Crane, Indiana, to support physical GFE delivery, secure handling, and immediate logistical integration.
  2. 100% Completed Facility Designs: Completed and Government-approved facility architectural/engineering (A/E) designs (including civil, structural, mechanical/electrical utilities, and verified radiation shielding calculations) optimized to house the Government-Furnished Property (GFP).
  3. Advanced Regulatory & Safety Bases: Completed and mature Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license applications, Indiana Department of Health (IDoH) device registrations, Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP), and finalized Safety Basis/Radiological Control program documentation tailored explicitly to the safe operation of the high-intensity simulator sources.
  4. Established GFE Vendor Integration: Matured coordination, transition planning, and technical exchanges with the GFE manufacturer (Verus Research) to support immediate systemization, Operational Site Acceptance Testing (OSAT), and long-term capability sustainment.

The contractor will be responsible for the end-to-end operation, availability, maintenance, and enhancement of NSWC-owned NWE simulators (specifically the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) and Electron Linear Accelerator (LINAC) systems), associated diagnostics, and other GFP.


No other source possesses the requisite specialized facility infrastructure, site readiness, and technical safety/regulatory baseline to perform these efforts immediately upon award. Any attempt to re-initiate the facility design, licensing, and systemization processes with another vendor would result in an unacceptable delay of multiple years and a substantial, non-recoverable duplication of cost to the Government.


All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and making a determination to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. The Solicitation and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.


Request for Proposal (RFP) will not be made available through https://www.sam.gov. The RFP will be provided to directly to Amentum through electronic mail. The proposed noncompetitive contract action is anticipated to be awarded under FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiations.


Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.


Questions or inquiries should be directed to Jamie Wilson, Code: 0233, Jamie.k.wilson1.civ@us.navy.mil. Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.

EVALUATION/REPAIRS
Solicitation # N00016427Q0006
Solicitation N00164-27-Q-0006 is a sole source, firm fixed price procurement issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division for engineering services to support five AN/SLQ-32(V)4 G4DSP-XD3 multiprocessor cards. The primary objective is to perform evaluation diagnostics, failure analysis, and data extraction on non-working processing units to determine if they are repairable or beyond economic repair. Key technical requirements include salvaging Northrop Grumman running scripts and operational binary scripts from non-volatile memory, as well as mapping hardcoded IP schemes and network connection profiles. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with Abaco Systems due to the items being peculiar to one manufacturer, although other responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. The contract requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-129 for shipping and marking, NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 for media sanitization, and DoDI 8582.01 for the security of non-DoD information systems. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements under DFARS 252.204-7021. Deliverables include software test reports, computer software products, and system security plans. Invoicing must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. Offers are due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on October 26, 2026, and should be submitted electronically to the primary point of contact, Trista Ray.
