About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWCAD) has released a Special Notice regarding an anticipated procurement for Battlespace Modeling and Simulation (BMS) Engineering Services. This is a draft notification issued on April 14, 2026, and represents preliminary government intent rather than a final solicitation. The notice invites industry feedback on the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) through a question-and-answer process, with 19 industry questions and corresponding government responses documented in the attached file. The government explicitly encourages participation from both prime contractors and potential subcontractors and has designated Karen Joachim as the primary point of contact for submissions. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC code AC13 (National Defense R&D Services).
The BMS Engineering Services requirement anticipates engagement of approximately 231 Full-Time Equivalents supporting work at both SECRET and UNCLASSIFIED classification levels, with 30% of work performed at the government site in Patuxent River, Maryland, and 70% at contractor facilities. Contractors must maintain at least one facility located within 20 miles driving distance of NAS Patuxent River equipped with a GENSER Secret level laboratory containing a minimum of 3,000 square feet and 30 workstations on a Secret network, with these facilities required to be operational within 90 days of contract award. The government will sponsor and initiate Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances beginning on day one of the contract, though final clearance requirements will be specified in the Final RFP. Key unresolved items for further clarification in the final solicitation include shift work requirements, CMMC compliance obligations, Digital Engineering Ecosystem integration, AI/ML tasking scope, contract pricing structure, and Key Personnel qualifications. The final RFP release is expected by April 28, 2026, and interested parties should submit constructive feedback to the Contract Specialist to influence the final procurement strategy.
