About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division is seeking a five-year Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) P-8A Poseidon program. The procurement focuses on Combat Systems Hardware (CSHW) and Communications Networking Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs), including the Data-At-Rest Encryptor (DARE), a Controlled Cryptographic Item. The contract will cover procurement of WRAs, subassemblies, software, test and evaluation services, repairs, and spares for obsolescence management. The government intends to sole-source the contract to Secturion Systems under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing the company's proprietary design and unique manufacturing capabilities. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 24, 2025, with responses due by March 25, 2025, and interested parties can contact Ross Adams via email with any inquiries.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will be awarded through a non-competitive process in the First Quarter of FY26. While the exact contract ceiling is redacted, the procurement will support all phases of the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Life Cycle Phases for the P-8A Poseidon program. Engineering and logistics services will be incidental to the supplies, including developmental upgrades, software patches, integration, installation, testing, and sustainment of communication systems. Potential additional services may encompass Test Requirement Documents, Fault Detection and Isolation, redesign, modification, and engineering investigations. Delivery requirements will vary based on individual orders under the IDIQ contract. Subcontracting opportunities are available directly through Secturion Systems, located in Centerville, Utah, and all potential contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database.
