The Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic) is conducting a market survey to assess small business capabilities for the production, life-cycle logistics, in-service support, and installation of Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems aboard U.S. Navy submarines. The scope focuses on the Common Submarine Radio Room (CSRR) and related gear, including radios, networks, antennas, crypto, CANES, ADNS, TFDS, and Link-16, as well as future C4ISR/C5ISR/C6ISR capabilities. This opportunity is strictly limited to SEAPORT NXG MAC holders, and large businesses are ineligible to apply. Performance is potentially worldwide, covering U.S. territories and various international locations including Guam, Diego Garcia, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Australia, Italy, and Scotland. The contractor will provide comprehensive engineering support, system integration, and testing, executing upgrades such as Trident Ship Alterations (TRIDs), SHIPALTs, and software updates across various ship availability types. Key requirements include strict adherence to Navy cybersecurity standards, CMMC compliance, and the use of Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) for invoicing and warranty data. Personnel must be capable of handling classified information under Alternative Compensatory Control Measures (ACCM) and may be required to participate in safety and operational training. All deliverables must comply with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130N for packaging and identification, and quality systems must align with ISO/IEC 15288:2023 and ISO/IEC 12207:2026 standards.
