About this opportunity

The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) awarded contract N3943026C7006 to Georgia Institute of Technology on a sole-source basis for research and development services involving fabrication of precast concrete panels and 3-point bending testing via dynamic impactor, on September 23, 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3)(B) under FAR 6.103-3(c)(2), which permits awarding to educational institutions for establishing or maintaining essential engineering, research, or development capability. Market research identified only two facilities nationwide with dynamic actuators capable of generating the required impact loads: Georgia Tech and the University of California at San Diego. UCSD's equipment was unavailable, making Georgia Tech the only responsible source. The work supports validation of precast concrete panel performance in resisting explosive hazards from nearby earth-covered magazines.

The base period is 270 days to fabricate and test the first three specimens identified in the test plan, funded with FY26 RDT&E money. An optional 180-day period covers manufacture and testing of additional Government-selected specimens, funded with FY27 RDT&E money. The contract dollar value is redacted in the justification document. NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC AJ13 (General Science & Technology R&D Services) apply.
