C5ISR acquisition, engineering and integration (caei) production

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic is conducting a market survey to assess small business capabilities for producing and delivering integrated Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems, networks, and support equipment. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command is seeking potential sources to provide advanced technological solutions in the electrical and electronic equipment components category. This pre-solicitation notice is specifically designed to gather information from potential contractors about their capabilities to support complex C5ISR integration and production requirements. The market survey is currently in a draft stage, with the attached Statement of Work (SOW) subject to potential modifications before the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued. Interested vendors are advised to carefully review the draft documentation and prepare comprehensive responses demonstrating their technical and operational capabilities.

This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to a broad range of businesses. The posted date is December 11, 2024, with responses due by January 8, 2025, providing potential contractors approximately four weeks to prepare their submissions. While specific award values are not disclosed in the current document, the complexity of C5ISR systems suggests this could be a significant contract with potential for substantial funding. The procurement falls under the Product Service Code (PSC) 59-P for Electrical/Electronic Equipment Components, indicating a focus on sophisticated technological integration and production capabilities. The market survey represents an initial step in a potentially multi-phase procurement process, allowing NIWC Atlantic to comprehensively assess and qualify potential small business contractors for future C5ISR system development and deployment.
