About this opportunity
Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division announced on May 21, 2026, that it will solicit a Business Intelligence requirement as a Seaport task order under Firm Fixed Price, reversing its prior plan to use RAPID MAC Pool 1, in order to comply with Executive Order 14402. The requirement was originally set aside for small business and restricted to existing RAPID MAC Pool 1 vendors, but NAWCAD determined that RAPID MAC lacks the structural capability to accommodate FFP labor-hour contracting without extensive modification to all 63 base contracts; the Government does not intend to pursue such modification. The Business Intelligence work supports the IC2&IS Division in developing performance dashboards, trend analysis, and analytics platforms to enhance command-level decision-making for defense weapons systems programs. The effort encompasses technical and project management, analytics application development, data engineering, and AI engineering services, spanning approximately 92,328 hours per year for an anticipated five-year period of performance totaling 461,640 hours. All personnel require interim Secret clearances within 60 days and Top Secret clearances within 120 business days for designated positions; work will be performed at contractor facilities within 100 drivable miles of St. Inigoes, Maryland. Vendors holding Seaport contracts remain eligible to pursue the requirement; NAWCAD indicated it will not utilize RAPID MAC for additional requirements under the current environment unless the vehicle is modified.

*********************************************************************************************************************
UPDATED AS OF 5/21/2026 - NAWCAD will no longer be able to solicit this requirement through RAPID MAC as originally planned. In order to comply with Executive Order 14402, this requirement must be structured as Firm Fixed Price (FFP). RAPID MAC is not set up for FFP labor without extensive modification to all 63 base contracts. The Government does not intend to modify RAPID MAC at this time, and therefore, will solicit this requirement as a Seaport task order. Furthermore, RAPID MAC will not be utilized moving forward for any requirement under the current environment unless it is modified (which is to be determined). We apologize for this change in strategy but thank Pool 1 for their responsiveness and interest in the requirement. If you are also a Seaport vendor, you will still be able to pursue the requirement in the near future.
*********************************************************************************************************************
The NAWCAD WOLF IC2&IS Division contemplates a new requirement for Business Intelligence to be solicited under RAPID MAC Pool 1. This requirement is currently intended to be set aside for a small business prime vendor under RAPID MAC Pool 1. Only existing RAPID MAC Pool 1 vendors will be eligible to bid. The purpose of this notice is to provide the attached DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW) for the Business Intelligence requirement. This DRAFT SOW is subject to change prior to finalization. Please note there is an expedited timeline for targeted award of this requirement within 3-6 months. RAPID MAC Pool 1 vendors should review this SOW and provide an email to the Procuring Contracting Officer (Christopher.k.pennini.civ@us.navy.mil) indicating thier intent to either bid or not bid. The response is due on or before May 8th, 2026. We will not be addressing specific/detailed questions on the requirement at this time. This posting is intended as a form of market research amongst RAPID MAC Pool 1 vendors to confirm our intent to set this requirement aside for small business and the type of set aside that may be utilized. Your response is being collected for market research purposes only and there is no binding commitment on behalf of the Government or Contractor resulting from your response at this time.
