Fanuc CRX20 Cobot

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking to procure two Fanuc CRX-20iA/L collaborative robot systems on a brand-name, non-competitive basis. The solicitation requires each system to include a 20 kg payload capacity, 1700 mm minimum horizontal reach, R-30iB Mini Plus Controller, compatible pedestal mount, and software fully compatible with the native FANUC programming environment and NVIDIA Isaac Sim platform, along with integrated Collision Guard and DCS safety functionalities. Additionally, contractors must provide one External Control PKG RTL-S636 software module per robot, pre-install FANUC software onto controllers, and enable software downloads within 15 days of award. The evaluation will focus on whether quotes meet the specified brand-name technical requirements and contractor qualifications as either the FANUC manufacturer/direct seller or an authorized FANUC America system integrator. Quotes are due by 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on May 5, 2026, to kylie.cox3.civ@us.navy.mil, with software downloads required to be enabled within 15 days of contract award and final delivery mandated by September 15, 2026.

This is a total small business set-aside procurement with a small business size standard of 750 employees, classified under NAICS code 333248 and PSC code 3695. The procurement is based on documented technical integration requirements with existing NDT/AI hardware and NVIDIA AI systems, as well as standardization and workforce familiarity considerations, with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division already operating FANUC robots with trained personnel. The contract period of performance is one year from award date, with delivery of both cobot systems required to Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Building 143, 9500 MacArthur Boulevard, West Bethesda, Maryland 20817. The government intends to award a firm fixed price contract, though specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the solicitation materials. The non-competitive justification was approved by Contracting Officer Sydney Melvina McDonald-Johnson on April 20, 2026, supporting the brand-name procurement approach.
