Key contract requirements include NIST SP 800-171 compliance, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification, personnel security clearances ranging from Secret to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information, and adherence to DevSecOps methodologies for software development. Evaluation will be conducted in three steps: Step One assesses technical acceptability of proposals; Step Two evaluates organizational experience and past performance using confidence ratings (Neutral, Satisfactory, or Substantial) based on work performed since January 1, 2021; and Step Three makes source selection decisions among all qualifying offerors.

Labor services will be priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with a maximum fee of 8 percent, while other direct costs for travel, materials, and equipment will be reimbursed at cost with no fee; estimated annual labor hours total approximately 43,712 hours across multiple job categories. The contract will be awarded to all qualifying small business offerors meeting technical acceptability and past performance standards, with a minimum order of $25,000 per contractor and a maximum order of $50,000,000. Place of performance is primarily at NIWC Pacific located at 53560 Hull Street, San Diego, California 92152, with potential for hybrid or alternate work locations to be determined at the individual task order level.
