About this file
This memorandum provides guidance for receiving government-furnished information (GFI) for the Ocean Explorer (OEX) Large Underwater Vehicle Demonstrator program, issued by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Potential performers must submit a formal letterhead request by August 1, 2025, to Stephen C. Schreppler, Leila Hemenway, and Diana Pacheco, including specific contractor and facility details required for DD 254 security documentation. ONR will verify the request, forward the DD254 to the contractor's Cognizant Security Officer, and mail serialized classified and Controlled Unclassified Information CD-ROMs containing GFI to assist in preparing white papers and proposals.
The memorandum outlines strict security protocols, including prohibitions on flowing down access requirements to subcontractors or teaming partners. Potential performers must use the DD 254 classification guidance to prepare white papers and proposals, which can be submitted at Classified or Controlled Unclassified Information levels. Upon completion of proposal writing, contractors must return the GFI media to the ONR security office. Classified proposal submissions should follow specific instructions on the ONR OEX BAA call website, with the ultimate goal of designing an ultra-large autonomous undersea vehicle capable of extended ocean-scale missions with a large modular payload.
