About this opportunity
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport, operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is conducting market research through this sources sought notice to identify qualified vendors for Dell VXRail Support Service license renewal. The procurement seeks software support and hardware technical support services, specifically 7x24 hardware technical support and ProSupport Next Business Day coverage. Interested parties must complete the attached "Questionnaire for Industry" document, which requests company details, CAGE code information, JCP certification status, and responses to five capability-focused questions addressing contractor qualifications, small business classification, implementation timelines, potential risks, and additional relevant feedback. This is a voluntary market research initiative rather than a formal request for proposal, meaning submission of information carries no financial commitment or compensation from the government, and all submitted documentation becomes government property. The response deadline is December 17, 2025, and completed questionnaires must be emailed to naomi.n.newton2.civ@us.navy.mil; respondents are required to adhere to Operations Security (OPSEC) requirements and must not include classified, controlled unclassified, or arms export controlled information in their submissions.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and does not identify any current contractors or incumbents. The requirement encompasses support for 16 units of Prosupport Next Business Day hardware support and 32 units of vSAN enterprise, single-processor licenses for a one-year period covering 20 specific Dell VXRail V570F systems identified by serial and asset numbers. No specific contract award value or budget range is disclosed in the sources sought notice, as this is purely a market research phase designed to assess contractor availability and capability rather than to issue a binding solicitation. The notice emphasizes that responses are voluntary and non-binding, with the government making no financial commitment or obligation to issue a subsequent request for proposal based on the information gathered through this market research effort.
