About this opportunity
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) is conducting market research through this Request for Information to identify contractors capable of providing kitting, acquisition, management, warehousing, and delivery of parts and materials used to overhaul multiple radar antenna systems and fire control systems for the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The procurement seeks companies with demonstrated capability to obtain individual hardware items, inspect compliance with government requirements, assemble parts into system repair kits, manage stringent quality requirements with suppliers, warehouse and manage inventory, and deliver materials on a just-in-time basis. Key contract requirements include maintaining a contractor-owned storage facility within 100 miles of NSWC Crane with minimum 5,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, fulfilling urgent requests within three hours and all other requests within 24 hours, maintaining ISO 9001-2015 certification or equivalent, implementing DMSMS (Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages) resolution, and complying with extensive government property accountability and security/OPSEC requirements. Evaluation criteria focus on contractor experience managing inventories exceeding 2,000 different part numbers, quality assurance and testing protocols including First Article Testing, counterfeit parts detection methodologies, kit marking and packaging practices, facility and warehousing capacity, and recommendations for risk and cost reduction. Responses to this market research RFI are due by March 30, 2026, with interested companies required to submit information as identified in the Industry Questionnaire matrix including white papers and responses addressing the 18 evaluation criteria.
This is a market research announcement only with no funding currently available; responses will not be reimbursed and this notice does not constitute a binding contract or promise to contract. No set-aside designations are applicable to this procurement. The notice provides no award value or budget range, as this RFI is solely for planning and information-gathering purposes in accordance with FAR Part 10. However, the scope is substantial, encompassing detailed Bills of Materials for five major radar systems—AN/SPS-48, AN/SPS-49, AN/SPS-67(V), AN/SPS-73, and AN/SPQ-9B—with 15 appendices breaking down required hardware by system component and configuration, including standard fasteners, mechanical components, electrical components, specialized assemblies, and maintenance consumables with quantities varying from single units to hundreds per item. The contractor must be capable of managing complex inventory across thousands of part numbers while meeting critical delivery timelines and maintaining compliance with military specifications, quality standards, and government property accountability requirements for what appears to be an ongoing, high-volume supply operation supporting U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales ship radar restoration efforts.
