About this forecast
Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting a sole-source recompete of its single-award indefinite-delivery contract with The Pennsylvania State University for research and technical services supporting advanced naval defense initiatives. The contract will be procured under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) with solicitation release estimated for July 1, 2027, and award estimated for January 1, 2028.
The estimated award value exceeds $1 billion, with a 60-month period of performance and cost-reimbursement pricing typical of research-intensive efforts. Work is performed at Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC, with supporting operations in State College, Pennsylvania. Both facility and personnel clearances at the Top Secret level are required.
The existing single-award IDIQ, contract number N0002418D6401, was awarded to The Pennsylvania State University on February 28, 2018, with a ceiling value of $3.475 billion and an ultimate completion date of February 27, 2028. Penn State's current work encompasses submarine technology, propulsion systems, advanced materials processing, cold spray technology transition, undersea warfare sensors, mine countermeasures, and defense-relevant research and engineering services. Recent delivery order activity reflects substantial ordering volume, including a $100 million Naval Air Systems Command order for HABU systems (March 2026), a $71.077 million Naval Sea Systems Command order for the Rapid Affordable Producible Torpedo program (January 2026), and a $50 million Naval Sea Systems Command order for cold spray technology transition (March 2026).
