About this opportunity
Naval Air Systems Command announced a change in acquisition strategy for the FRCSW Technology, Information and Management Support (TIMS) program on July 27, 2026, with the previous approach no longer active as of that date. The procurement was originally planned as a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside based on a May 2025 announcement, but the Government has reevaluated strategy following recent Federal directives and changes to FRCSW requirements; the final contracting vehicle and set-aside status remain under finalization. The work covers engineering services and management support. An RFP was originally projected for FY26 Quarter 3 with award in FY27 Quarter 2; the Government continues to project an FY27 Quarter 2 award timeline. The original sources-sought announcement was issued via Seaport NxGen. Interested parties should monitor for updates on the revised acquisition approach and formal RFP release.
