About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command issued a request for prototype proposals due October 8, 2026, to design and produce a custom router chassis that accommodates a modern commercial network router within the Navy's existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet without disrupting current equipment. The Navy's current system requires an upgraded network router to meet modern data requirements, but the new commercial unit does not physically fit into standard shipboard equipment racks; the Navy lacks a customized hardware chassis to physically secure the router and connect it to existing power supplies. Contractors must submit prototype proposals through the MATAC OTA (Other Transaction Authority) vehicle. Upon successful prototype completion, the Government intends to transition to a follow-on production phase for up to 60 units. This upgrade will enable network technology modernization without requiring complete redesign or replacement of current equipment racks. Work is classified under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). Additional details are available at matac.org.
Notice text
Background & Problem Statement: Our current system needs an upgraded network router to handle modern data requirements, but the new commercial router does not physically fit into the standard equipment racks used on our ships. We lack a customized hardware chassis that can physically secure the new router and connect it to existing power supplies without disrupting the rest of the equipment.
Desired Objectives: The Navy desires to build a custom chassis prototype to house a new network router so it can fit perfectly into our existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet (TEC). This will allow us to upgrade our system's network technology without having to completely redesign or replace the current equipment racks. Upon successful completion, the Government intends to transition this prototype to a follow-on production phase for up to 60 units.
