About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking engineering services and rapid response testing support for munitions, weapons, and energetic systems through a pre-solicitation notice for Rapid Response Munitions Testing & Engineering Services. The procurement will focus on comprehensive engineering and testing capabilities for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of military ordnance, with requirements spanning eight critical task areas including environmental testing, safety assessments, performance characterization, and weapons system evaluation. Contractors must demonstrate specialized testing facilities capable of handling live ordnance, accommodating extreme sizes and weights, and performing complex evaluations across various environmental conditions. The government is currently conducting a sources sought market survey to assess potential contractor capabilities, with responses due by May 13, 2025, through an email submission to Kimberly Hall at NSWC Indian Head Division. Interested companies are required to complete an attached RFI Survey providing detailed information about their organizational capabilities, testing services, and technical qualifications.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, with the procurement open to all qualified contractors under NAICS Code 541330 and a size standard of $25,500,000. While no specific award value is mentioned, the draft Performance Work Statement suggests potential task order contracts with individual assignments potentially requiring personnel with DoD "Secret" security clearances. The testing requirements are extensive, including capabilities to handle hazardous articles up to 20 feet long, test across extreme temperature ranges from -150F to +300F, and accommodate net explosive weights across hazard classifications 1.1 through 1.6. Contractors will need to demonstrate advanced technical capabilities, including specialized fixturing, live ordnance testing facilities, and comprehensive quality management processes. The government emphasizes that this sources sought synopsis does not guarantee a future solicitation and reserves the right to reject any submitted information.
