About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for Space Electronic Systems Prototype Development services. This is a pre-solicitation notice seeking potential sources capable of performing comprehensive research, development, and support services for spacecraft electronics and space/airborne electronic systems, including concept development, prototype design, fabrication, testing, launch preparation, and mission operations support. Key qualifications include technical capabilities in spacecraft electronics procurement and assembly, specialized testing, ground equipment development, and complex space system development with rigorous engineering documentation. The RFI is intended to gauge industry interest and capabilities, assess small business participation potential, and inform NRL's evaluation process for any subsequent formal solicitation. Interested parties must submit a Capabilities Statement by December 1, 2025, and should note that this RFI will not result in contract awards and the government will not reimburse response costs.

This is a re-compete of the previously awarded contract No. N00173-22-C-2002, which was held by Peraton, Inc., indicating the incumbent's experience with NRL's requirements. No set-aside designation has been applied at this time; however, NRL indicates that a small business set-aside decision may be made based on responses received. The notice does not specify an award value or budget range for a potential future contract. Security clearances at the Secret and Top Secret/SCI levels may be required for certain task areas, and respondents should demonstrate relevant experience supporting complex space system development. Prospective contractors should prepare to address their organizational capabilities, relevant personnel, and technical expertise in the Statement of Work areas outlined in the attached draft SOW document.
