Navy Information / Application Product Suite (NIAPS)

The Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific (NIWC Pacific intends to issue Request for

Proposal (RFP) No. N66001-20-R-0024 for engineering services to support the

development and sustainment of Navy Information/Application Product Suite (NIAPS) and

other selected application hosting, monitoring, modernization, and replication

systems/frameworks. NIAPS delivers maintenance, logistics, administrative, training, and

management applications to users at sea. NIAPS is designed to maximize the use of

limited bandwidth by providing afloat units with access to applications while disconnected

from the internet. NIAPS ensures that data between ship and shore remains

synchronized throughout the replication of data and applications hosted on NIAPS. NIAPS

is a suite of applications and content, integrated together and hosted on a single

shipboard server. It can be categorized as a shipboard intranet web-based information

system used to support, collect, distribute, and display information in a shipboard

environment. NIAPS hosts an intranet that maintains information such as: training

courses, maintenance documents, data collection, and morale and welfare information.

NIAPS provides content and information to the user during times that network access

external to the ship is unavailable. NIAPS will be phased out in the FY20-24 timeframe

and will be replaced by other services providing hosting, monitoring, and replication for

afloat applications. These services will have to be developed, tested and supported on

several different Navy networks. In addition, current Navy applications require

modernization to take advantage of these new services.

This proposed single award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) cost-plus-fixed-

fee (CPFF) pricing arrangements is the result of the previous Seaport-E task order

N00178-14-D-7987-7N01. These requirements are ongoing and are expected to continue

into the foreseeable future. The anticipated period of performance is a 5-year ordering

period. Orders will be placed pursuant to the ordering process at FAR 16.505(a). The

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330 Engineering

Services ((Except (a) – Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons)) and

the Small Business Size Standard is $41,500,000. The Product Service Code (PSC) for

this contract is J070 "Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding Of Equipment: Automatic Data

Processing Equipment, Software, Supplies and Support Equipment. The Facility Clearance

Level will be Secret. This requirement will be competed as a 100% Small Business Set
