The work will primarily be performed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Philadelphia, with potential travel to Navy installations worldwide. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will require multiple labor categories including program managers, engineers, technicians, cybersecurity specialists, and support staff, with three designated key personnel positions. The contract appears to be a comprehensive engineering support services engagement that will involve developing and maintaining critical control systems for various naval vessels and shore-based platforms. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in naval engineering, software development, cybersecurity, and systems integration to be competitive in this procurement.
