Branch intends to issue solicitation N66001-21-R-0044 for engineering services in

Support of the Network Integration Engineering Facility (NIEF). The NIEF supports

multiple programs of record, such as Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Systems

(CANES), Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), Integrated Shipboard Network

System (ISNS), Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN) and Cryptographic

Modernization. The requirement includes support of rapid-design and integration of

Commercial Off the Shelf/Government Off the Shelf (COTS/GOTS) and Non-

(EQT) services that necessitate rapid response to a large number of high priority

warfighter technical assists. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541330, and the

service code is J059.

For this requirement, NIWC Pacific posted a market survey to determine small business

capability on SPAWAR E-Commerce Central on 2 April 2020, reference number

NIWC_Pacific_MKTSVY_16B09E. Based upon evaluation of the responses to the market

survey, NIWC Pacific intends to compete the requirement using full and open

competition. The full scope of the requirement is described in the Statement of Work. The

NIWC Pacific Small Business Office (SBO) concurred with the acquisition strategy decision.

This is a follow-on requirement to an existing single award contract that was competed

as a small business set-aside and awarded to KOAM Engineering Services, Inc. under

contract N66001-18-D-0075.

NIWC Pacific does not intend to hold an industry day for this requirement.

The ODC and material CLINs will be non-fee bearing. The annual estimated level of effort

is 388,650 hours.
