About this opportunity
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport is conducting market research through this sources sought notice to identify potential contractors interested in a Shell procurement based on drawing number 6893915. This pre-solicitation effort is purely for information gathering purposes and does not constitute a Request for Proposal, with the government assuming no financial responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents. Interested parties must complete the attached "Questionnaire for Industry" document, providing details about their business capabilities, CAGE code, small business status, NAICS classification, and estimated costs. All responses must be submitted via email to naomi.n.newton2.civ@us.navy.mil by October 28, 2025, with strict requirements that no classified, controlled unclassified, or arms export controlled information be included. Contractors must also adhere to Operations Security (OPSEC) requirements as detailed in the Operations Security Guide for Contractors available on the NAVSEA website.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, suggesting this may be for a new requirement or the government is seeking to expand its vendor pool. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities for the shell procurement, as this information-gathering phase is focused on identifying capable sources rather than soliciting specific pricing. The government has made clear that all submitted documentation will become government property, responses are strictly voluntary, and the notice should not be construed as any commitment by the government to proceed with a procurement.
