Added: Oct 19, 2012 5:18 pm Modified: Nov 15, 2012 8:10 pmTrack Changes The Surface Electronic Warfare Systems Branch at the US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, is responsible for research, design, and development of on-board electronic warfare (EW) technologies, techniques, and systems to deny or degrade hostile use of the electromagnetic spectrum and protect naval ships. This includes threat assessment and definition, development of EW operational concepts, EW requirements definition, electronic countermeasure technique research and analysis, EW signal processing research, EW system research and prototype system development, EW technique and system effectiveness evaluation, field experimentation, and system effectiveness assessments. 

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD) has a need for up to 390 digital signal processing modules (DSPMs) to be used to design and evaluate prototype shipboard and airborne electronic warfare (EW) applications and to be installed and operated within an enclosure that will be mounted to both airborne and surface shipboard platforms. 

This request for proposals (RFP) is for the acquisition of up to 390 individual DSPMs. Instructions for receiving complete technical specifications are available as part of the solicitation. The solicitation is available on the NRL's website: http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/13PW04.html

Specifications are export controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As such, to receive the referenced specifications, potential offerors will be required to submit a completed certification with proof of status as a U.S. person (as defined in 22 C.F.R. Part 120.15). Upon confirmation of eligibility, potential offerors will be sent a copy of the specifications. The specifications must be safeguarded and protected from unauthorized disclosure in accordance with applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations. 

Please visit the NRL website to access the RFP:

This action is a 100% set-aside for small business concerns. A three-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with firm-fixed-priced orders is contemplated. 

The NRL uses electronic commerce (EC) to issue requests for proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs. Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided. The closing date for proposals is December 17, 2012. 

The government intends to use FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. 

All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Other business opportunities for NRL are available at our website http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm.
