Mission Engineering and Integration AOI 26-A005 under RCC CSO N6523626S0001

The United States Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic is soliciting innovative commercial solutions under the Mission Engineering and Integration Area of Interest 26-A005, issued as part of the Commercial Solutions Opening N65236-26-S-0001, to address urgent national security challenges posed by evolving near-peer adversaries. This effort seeks to transform traditional, static approaches to mission engineering into a dynamic, data-driven ecosystem capable of continuously identifying gaps and vulnerabilities across complex mission threads and kill webs, and rapidly engineering, validating, and delivering holistic, interoperable warfighting capabilities at the speed of need. The required technical solutions must support end-to-end lifecycle management of mission capabilities, integrating digital threads across multi-tiered security enclaves, orchestrating bidirectional data flows, and leveraging human-in-the-loop wargaming and Live-Virtual-Constructive experimentation to assess survivability, interoperability, and effectiveness against adversary threat profiles. Solutions must utilize open standards and APIs to seamlessly interface with both Government-off-the-shelf and commercial-off-the-shelf systems while mapping acquisition portfolios and programmatic metrics directly to operational mission architectures. All offerors must possess a Top Secret facility clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmented Information access at the time of Solution Brief submission, a mandatory prerequisite verified via the CAGE code provided in the proposal; failure to meet this requirement disqualifies participation in subsequent phases. Solution Briefs must be submitted exclusively through the Vulcan platform by 2359 Eastern Daylight Time on 24 June 2026, must not contain Controlled Unclassified Information, and must detail how nontraditional business participation requirements are met, including the identification and CAGE codes of any teaming partners. Selected offerors will be invited to an in-person Phase 2 Pitch event tentatively planned for 8–10 July 2026 at NIWC Atlantic in North Charleston, South Carolina, with each pitch lasting approximately one hour. Travel may be required to locations including the National Capital Region, Norfolk, Quantico, San Diego, Honolulu, Okinawa, Naples, and Stuttgart. The Government reserves the right to directly award follow-on production agreements without competition to prototypes developed under this effort, and no public announcements or press releases regarding the solicitation are permitted prior to official notification of down-select to Phase II. The point of contact for all inquiries is Jessie Rehwoldt of NIWC Atlantic.
