On November 6, the U.S. Navy posted a presolicitation notice. The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No. N6600126R0019 for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Information Operations (IO) from Seabed to Space (S2ISR).
The services contemplated under this effort will provide the Navy with the ability to develop and field ISR systems that incorporate the latest capabilities for maintaining robust communication, surveillance, and security to accommodate advances in technology and other complementary systems while countering ever-increasing threats. The Government contemplates that, in its capacity, the contractor will provide technical support services in the form of algorithm development, data design processing, hardware and software development, fabrication, installation, testing, deployment, recovery, repair, systems engineering, program and configuration management, logistics, maintenance, sustainment, training, environmental support, and analysis in support of ISR activities, ISR systems, and corresponding cybersecurity operations.
ISR activities may include support related to chemical, nuclear, biological, and radiological (CNBR) elements related to unmanned system. ISR systems may include surveillance programs, systems, networks, and tactical data communications systems including automated radio communications systems, satellite terminal systems, and space, air, land and water autonomous or non-autonomous systems that could be used in ISR operations.
Contract activities may be performed throughout the world. In addition, work may be performed onboard afloat vessels (including U.S. Coast Guard vessels), in port, or at sea alongside coalition partner nations (e.g., NATO countries). It is anticipated that the procurement will result in the award of multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) and cost (no fee) pricing arrangements. The period of performance will include a seven-year ordering period.
