The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO C4I) International C4I Integration Program Management Office (PMW 740), will be issuing a Competitive Small Business Set-Aside (North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541330) Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design, procurement, and installation of C4I systems in various foreign nations, such as, but not limited to: Republic of the Philippines, Republic of Iraq, Kingdom of Bahrain, Brazil, Maldives, Seychelles, and various African and Western Pacific countries. The required effort includes the utilization of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to satisfy the unique C4I requirements of individual Security Cooperation partner nations. Contractors will be required to design, procure, integrate, test, field, and support the C4I systems. Although this is not an all- inclusive list, the COTS/GFE typically delivered/integrated may consist of sensors, communications equipment, towers, and small shelters. In some cases, minor construction may be required. This effort will often involve working in austere conditions in countries that may not have an established infrastructure that can be leveraged during performance of this effort.
This effort will be a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Details on the IDIQ and initial Delivery Order(s) (DO(s)) will be provided in a future update to this release. A draft IDIQ Statement of Work (SOW) is provided for your information. A draft of RFP Sections L and M will be provided in the mid- to late-June 2013 timeframe.
It is anticipated that the final RFP will be issued in late 4th quarter FY13 with award within six (6) months of RFP release.

This Industry Day/Pre-Proposal Conference will be held in San Diego, CA, during the July/August 2013 timeframe. Specifics on the date and location will be provided as soon as they are finalized.
