Objective
The NRL Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD) is responsible for research and development in support of the Navy's tactical electronic warfare requirements and missions. These include electronic warfare support measures, electronic countermeasures, and supporting counter-countermeasures, as well as studies, analyses, and simulations for determining and improving the effectiveness of these systems.

NRL is seeking potential firms who have the skills, experience, knowledge and capabilities required in the areas of surface ships, Electronic Warfare (EW) on surface ships, and the role of ships signatures in EW who can complement the Government research team. The major technical areas are: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of Prototype Force Protection and EW Sensor and Systems; EW Modeling and Simulation Studies; Signature Control Studies; and Hardware in the Loop and Signature Processor in the Loop Studies.

A five-year Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with cost-reimbursable and firm fixed price task orders is contemplated. Contract award is estimated for May 2016. The expected place of performance for this requirement is the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC (NRL-DC)

The Naval Research Laboratory has a requirement for scientific and engineering support to be provided to the Advanced Techniques Branch of the Tactical Electronic Warfare Division at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).  The requirement is for investigation of current and innovative techniques to detect small targets in maritime environments with various background conditions, including at sea, littoral, shallow water, air, and terrain backgrounds.  The technology shall primarily focus on radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) electro-optical (E-O) techniques.   Investigation may also include innovative techniques such as ultraviolet, sub-millimeter wave, millimeter wave, acoustics, magnetic, and non-tradition technologies as they may be identified.  Tasking may include but not limited to: research, design, development, engineering, prototype development, systems integration, analysis, modeling simulation, fabrication, project and financial management, and documentation.

A complete Statement of Work (SOW), personnel requirements, and contract data requirements will be available as part of this solicitation.

The work will be performed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Washington, DC and other field sites.

The anticipated period of performance will be five (5) years.  The proposed contract will be a multiple award, Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Firm-Fixed Price and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) term type task orders issued on a competitive basis.  

Based on a survey of the market, the Government has determined that the services to be acquired do not meet the definition of a commercial item.  Therefore, the Government does not intend to use the procedures as outlined in FAR Part 12 for this acquisition.

NRL uses electronic commerce (EC) to issue requests for proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs.  Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided.  The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued.

This solicitation and any amendments to it will be available via the internet starting approximately fifteen days after publication of this announcement.

All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
