Target Accuracy Precision Emitters Sources Sought

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) or Request for Quote (RFQ). 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. Objective: The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement to support applied R&D programs with U.S. Navy and non-Navy sponsors. The procurement provides for the execution of specific RF/IR engineering, analytical, and technical efforts to support evolving timing technology where the results of such efforts will ultimately support the Navy's mission. This acquisition is focused on space to ground research for Target Accuracy for Precision Emitters (TAPE) Support. The Space Systems Development Division is performing research with time and clock techniques that will provide precise and certified timing to the warfighter with an accuracy of less than 2 nanoseconds delivered via alternate methods. Under this acquisition, the contractor will perform the scientific and technical activities involved in developing concepts from technical exploration and prototyping the system for providing precise and certified timing, frequency, and geodesy to the warfighter. Additional details are provided in the following attached draft documents. Statement of Work Submission of Information: Interested parties should submit the following information to the below POC: Company Name, CAGE, DUNS, Size Status, and brief overview of ability to meet the above specification. All information and data received in response to this posting marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will be protected as such. Please include this notice number on all documents and email correspondence. Classified Material shall not be submitted. Please transmit responses by e-mail to Graham Irby, Contract Specialist, at contact@example.gov in either Microsoft Office or .pdf format.
