About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory seeks sources capable of providing research and development support to its Electromagnetic Technology Branch to conduct programs in vacuum electronics and related technologies. A cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is contemplated. Interested parties shall provide a capability statement detailing their experience, past performance on similar contracts, suggested revisions to the statement of work, and potential subcontracting opportunities by May 22, 2023. Responses will be evaluated based on the respondent's capabilities and experience to support the functional areas in the draft statement of work.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The anticipated NAICS code is 541330 for engineering services, and the PSC code relates to compact microwave, millimeter-wave, and sub-millimeter-wave amplifier technologies. The value and period of performance will be determined upon award, though the contract is intended to last through delivery. The place of performance is the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
