The forecast encompasses 26 anticipated contract requirements across categories such as range instrumentation, combat environment systems, air launch test capabilities, and specialized production services. Potential bidders should be prepared for various contract types, including cost-reimbursement, fixed-price, and multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicles. While no specific small business set-asides are currently designated, such determinations will be made when individual acquisition actions are initiated. The work will primarily be performed at NAWCWD facilities in China Lake and Point Mugu, California, with solicitation and award dates projected throughout FY2025 and FY2026.
