The acquisition requires three contract line items related to Propeller-Driven Rotor (PDR) system development: Flight Controller Enhancement, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Integration, and FLIGHTLAB Technical Support & Validation. This Phase IIA effort continues previous Phase I work (Order No. N0016726Q1022) to enhance the PDR flight control system, address damped oscillatory aircraft response issues, and conduct hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The NAICS code is 541330 (Engineering Services) with PSC R425. All quotes must be priced FOB Destination with no separate shipping charges permitted. The CMMC Level requirement is Level 1. Evaluation will be conducted on a pass/fail technical basis using the Performance Work Statement, followed by past performance assessment through SPRS, SAM, FAPIIS, and other sources, with award made to the vendor offering the most advantageous price among technically acceptable quotations. Questions must be submitted by August 7, 2026 at 12:00 EST. Quote packages must include official company name, point of contact with phone number, and CAGE code number.

CMMC Level: Level 1
Specifications: The U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) requires detailed investigation into the performance, flight dynamics, structural loads, and stability of a Propeller-Driven Rotor (PDR) system. Phase I demonstrated the basic feasibility of controlling a PDR simulation model. However, the aircraft response showed a damped, oscillatory response which warrants further enhancement of the PDR flight controller. This Phase IIA effort will mature the flight control system, explore hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and provide general support to NSWC personnel. This project serves as a continuation of Phase-I efforts (Order No. N0016726Q1022). This award is to be made on a Sole Source Basis.
