About this opportunity
The Office of Naval Research is seeking a contractor to operate the Navy ManTech Composites Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence VI (CMTC COE VI), which will focus on research and development services for composite, polymeric, and other non-metallic manufacturing technologies. The core mission involves identifying, developing, and facilitating the transition of these advanced manufacturing technologies to composites fabricators and industrial facilities to reduce costs and manufacturing timelines for key naval platforms including aircraft, surface ships, undersea vehicles, ground and amphibious vehicles, missiles, and other Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems. The Center will collaborate closely with the Navy's acquisition community, naval shipyards, prime weapon system integrators, and relevant industrial facilities to address manufacturing technology challenges that impact the transition of composite and non-metallic products to the fleet. This procurement will be conducted as a full and open FAR Part 15 competitive source selection using best value tradeoff procedures. The solicitation was posted on July 17, 2025, with proposals due by September 2, 2025, and the RFP includes the government's responses to questions and answers from potential bidders.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be competed under full and open competition procedures. The government anticipates awarding a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) cost plus fixed fee contract with an ordering period spanning 120 months, representing a 10-year performance timeline. While the place of performance is listed as Arlington, VA in the system announcement, contractors must propose their actual place of performance location at the time of proposal submission. The contract falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and PSC code AC13 for National Defense R&D Services with experimental development focus. No incumbent contractor information or specific budget ranges have been disclosed in this solicitation notice, and no award values have been specified for this research and development services contract.

This update to the RFP announcement includes the Governments answers in response to the Q and A. This is a Request for Proposal. The Office of Naval Research in Arlington VA intends to procure research and development services for the operation of the Navy ManTech Composites Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence VI (CMTC COE VI). This requirement is solicited as a full and open FAR Part 15 competitive source selection using best value tradeoff procedures. The Government anticipates a single award IDIQ cost plus fixed fee contract for an ordering period of 120 months. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541715 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). Place of Performance City and State are required system fields in this announcement and listed as Arlington, VA. At time of proposal submission, responsible sources must propose place of performance. The Statement of Work (SOW) is provided as an attachment to the RFP. The requirement is for the following services as described more thoroughly in the SOW: The core mission and function of the Center is to identify, develop and facilitate the transition of composite, polymeric, and other non-metallic manufacturing technologies to composites fabricators and other relevant industrial facilities to reduce the cost and time to build and repair key naval platforms. Potential naval applications for the composite materials include both structural and non- structural components for aircraft, surface ships, and undersea vehicles as included in the ManTech Investment Strategy. Other applications, such ground and amphibious vehicles, missiles, and other Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems, may also be included. In accomplishing its mission, the Center will work closely with the Navy?s acquisition community, naval shipyards, prime weapon system integrators, as well as other relevant industrial facilities to identify manufacturing technology issues that negatively impact transition of composite and nonmetallic products to the fleet, with respect to both cycle-time and cost. The Center will then solicit, select, perform, and manage projects to address the identified cycle-time and cost reduction issues as specified in task orders.
