About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy, specifically Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), intends to award a noncompetitive, commercial firm-fixed-price purchase order to Red Balloon Security of New York, NY. The procurement focuses on technical support and consultation services for Red Balloon Security's Open Firmware Reverse Analysis Konsole (OFRAK) tool, along with funding for one engineer's trip. An approved Justification for Non-Competitive Procurement (JNCP) supports the sole-source approach, with the agency determining that Red Balloon Security is the only responsible source capable of meeting their requirements. Interested parties may submit capability statements, comments, or concerns via email to Kylie Nevells by January 6, 2024, at 1200 Pacific Time. To participate, vendors must be registered on the NIWC E-Commerce website and the System for Award Management (SAM).
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity. While the exact award value is not disclosed, the procurement is categorized under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services and PSC category R-P for Support Services. The contract appears to be a single purchase order with a very narrow scope, focusing on technical consultation and a single engineer's travel. The timeline for this opportunity is relatively compressed, with the initial notice posted on January 3, 2025, and responses due by January 8, 2025. Potential vendors must ensure they have a registered Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and CAGE Code to be considered eligible for this opportunity with NIWC Pacific.
