Request for Solutions (RFS) - Microelectronics Operations, Sustainment, Acquisition, and Infrastructure Capabilities Modernization (MOSAIC)

The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), NSWC Crane Division has issued Special Notice N0016426SNB54 announcing a Request for Solutions (RFS) for the Microelectronics Operations, Sustainment, Acquisition, and Infrastructure Capabilities Modernization (MOSAIC) project. This is an Other Transaction opportunity authorized under 10 U.S.C. 4022 and managed by the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Consortium through the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL). The project targets modernization of microelectronics in fielded weapon systems through digitalization of acquisition and sustainment processes. The effort is classified as experimental development under PSC AC13 and falls within the Computer Systems Design Services NAICS category (541512). Interested parties should contact Dayne Holder at the NSWC Crane Division in Crane, Indiana.

The MOSAIC initiative aims to leverage digital engineering tools, commercial best practices, and scalable cloud-based environments to enable co-design, data reuse, and lifecycle collaboration across defense programs, ultimately accelerating delivery of faster and more affordable replacements for critical systems while strengthening long-term sustainment infrastructure. The RFS comprises two separate task areas with distinct deadlines: Task Area 1 (PRIM2E Whitepaper) is due April 7, 2026, and Task Area 2 (mDICE Response) is due April 20, 2026. A critical eligibility requirement is that all interested contractors must maintain active membership in the S2MARTS Consortium; prospective participants should visit S2MARTS.org for membership information and enrollment procedures. This prototype project represents a collaborative opportunity for organizations capable of contributing to defense microelectronics modernization through advanced digital solutions and lifecycle management approaches. Contractors should note the compressed timeline between the posting date of March 25, 2026 and the first task area deadline of April 7, 2026.
