Repair and Technical Support of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) system

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NIWC Atlantic), a component of the Department of the Navy, seeks repair and technical support services for its Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) system under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J059 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components). The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Northern Defense Industries (NDI), the original equipment manufacturer, based on NDI's unique technical expertise, proprietary knowledge, and specialized tooling necessary to diagnose and repair the existing MDA system. While the Government has identified NDI as its intended recipient, the pre-solicitation notice invites any responsible source to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation to demonstrate its capacity to fulfill the requirement. Responses must be submitted to Omar K. Fraser-Rahim at omar.k.fraser-rahim.civ@us.navy.mil by November 20, 2025, and all submissions received by this deadline will be evaluated to determine whether the Government should pursue a competitive procurement rather than the proposed noncompetitive award.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting eligibility to certified small business entities. The current contract holder and likely awardee is Northern Defense Industries (NDI), the OEM of the MDA system. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an award value or budget range for the purchase order, nor does it provide details regarding the quantity of repairs, the scope of technical support services, or the timeline for contract performance. The Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the noncompetitive award to NDI based on responses received or to conduct a competitive procurement instead. Interested parties should note that this is a pre-solicitation announcement with a compressed response deadline of three days from the posting date, indicating the Government's intent to move expeditiously toward award.
