Notice of Intent to Modify Contract N65236-18-D-8014

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NIWC Atlantic), operating under the Department of the Navy, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to modify existing Contract N65236-18-D-8014 by increasing the contract ceiling by $100 million. This modification notice was posted on April 10, 2026, and represents a non-competitive action under the sole-source authority granted by 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The Government intends to negotiate exclusively with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to execute this contract modification. This Special Notice is informational in nature and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, though interested parties may submit evidence challenging the non-competitive approach.

The primary objective of this contract modification is to increase funding to allow NIWC Atlantic to complete all current task orders and prevent capability delays pending the award of a new competitively-bid contract. The contract modification maintains the existing period of performance with no temporal changes. The classified NAICS code for this effort is 541330, indicating professional, scientific, and technical consulting services. Any contractor or interested party wishing to challenge this non-competitive modification must submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by the deadline of 12:00 PM EST on May 11, 2026. Written comments or questions should be directed to Kari Hill at kari.a.hill7.civ@us.navy.mil. The Government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the non-competitive modification or pursue a competitive approach.
