Security Management System (SMS)

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division, operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of onsite custom system modifications to the Lenel Security Management System (SMS). This sole-source contract action is intended to be awarded exclusively to M3T Corporation under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302. The procurement falls under the Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths) NAICS category and is classified as IT and Telecom Security and Compliance Support Services. Interested parties may direct inquiries to joseph.w.aprile2.civ@us.navy.mil, with the stipulation that phone calls will not be accepted. The Special Notice was posted on March 18, 2026, with a response deadline of March 20, 2026.

The objective of this procurement is to secure specialized custom modifications to the existing Lenel SMS infrastructure at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division facility. Given the sole-source designation, this contract action is not open to competitive bidding, as the government has determined that only M3T Corporation possesses the requisite capability or qualifications to perform the required modifications. The extremely compressed timeline—with only two days between posting and the due date—reflects the urgent operational need for these system enhancements. Contractors not identified as M3T Corporation should note that this opportunity does not present a competitive participation pathway. All communication regarding this procurement must be conducted via email to the designated point of contact, emphasizing the government's preference for written correspondence throughout the procurement process.
