Description
NSWC PHD requires a Super ATE solution that consolidates, to the maximum extent practicable, the functions of multiple existing or planned ATE systems into a common, modular, and scalable platform. The objective is to reduce the number of ATE assets required for LSEQ and MCP production; decrease laboratory and production-test footprint; improve test repeatability; reduce setup time; and simplify calibration, maintenance, configuration management, and lifecycle support.
NSWC PHD requires Automated Test Equipment (ATE) to support production acceptance testing of MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) and Motor Control Panel (MCP) assemblies, including line-replaceable units (LRUs) within those assemblies. Currently, conducting lifecycle maintenance and testing requires utilizing multiple disparate pieces of test equipment, which creates a large footprint and increases operational complexity. The Government requires an innovative, integrated production-test capability that can consolidate multiple ATE functions into a common Super ATE architecture. The required capability must support complete-box testing, LRU-level testing, acceptance testing, and support for shock and vibration test requirements.
Organizations interested in responding to this RFS must be members of MATAC. Visit MATAC.org for more information.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) has developed and intends to field a modular, organic capability consisting of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components integrated into custom hardware for the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter. The Government has established a viable system baseline, however, a standardized, repeatable, and supportable production, deployment, and sustainment process is not yet developed. With an initial operational capability target of Q1 FY2028, the program's small scope makes traditional, large-scale support and depot-level sustainment models highly cost-prohibitive. The current ad-hoc model lacks a process with defined material flow, supply-chain management, quality control, and software deployment process. Consequently, ongoing assembly and support practices require excessive time and specialized personnel that a small team cannot realistically maintain. Furthermore, the existing packaging is not optimized for rapid global air transport, and the chassis design needs human factors optimization for installation and removal in shipboard and austere environments. As a result, these cumulative limitations reduce overall operational availability, increase the burden on forward-deployed personnel, and raise long-term lifecycle costs. This delays the Navy's critical ability to rapidly produce, transport, install, and sustain this capability worldwide. Desired Outcomes & Constraints (Submissions may be for one or all requirements) 1. Process Design: Production Process: An operational, production-representative process capable of producing a defined pilot lot using controlled material, assembly, programming, inspection, test, configuration-management, packaging, and acceptance processes that is executable by a small team. Deployment Process: A lightweight, practical support process that enables a small team to provision and deploy the capability with minimal specialized infrastructure. Sustainment Process: A lightweight, practical support process that enables a small team to support, maintain, repair, reconfigure, and reconstitute the capability with minimal specialized infrastructure. 2. Packaging Plan: A rugged, efficient, and reusable packaging plan compatible with Joint Modular Intermodal Containers, Pelican cases, or comparable solutions that enable rapid global air transport and protect the system and associated components during storage, shipment, and operational movement. 3. Human Factors Optimization. The project seeks modified chassis, mounts, and installation/removal processes that reduce the time, tools, personnel, and specialized equipment required to install and uninstall the system in shipboard and austere field environments. Questions: Questions should be submitted per the Submission Guidelines section (below) no later than 1600 EST (4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time) by November 09, 2026. Submission Guidelines, Evaluation, and Eligibility Requirements: Refer to BAA N6893625S0001 (https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/54d124889d3f423fa900e43c4b041026/view) posted on SAM.gov for submission guidelines and evaluation. While the BAA is an open announcement, the Government is requesting responses for this problem by 1600 EST (4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time) December 01, 2026. Required Submission Changes: When submitting the response, the cover page must specifically reference N6893625S0001-0001 to be considered. | Market Research | 12/01/2026 |
The Navy requires continued development of a secure, scalable capability to ingest combat-system data, identify equipment degradation and anomalous conditions, and provide prognostic and predictive-maintenance decision support to improve readiness and operational availability. Current capabilities require continued maturation of data integration, synthetic-data generation, predictive analytics, software architecture, cybersecurity, and deployable software services. This software system needs to integrate multiple disparate data sources; develop, test, and evaluate analytic models; and deliver with usable prognostic and predictive-maintenance capability delivered through six-month incremental software releases.

The purpose of this Amendment 0002 is to update Attachment 5 L-4 RFP Questions and Responses to respond to industry's second set questions and concerns. The Government will not accept additional questions or concerns after the effective date of this posting. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, CA is soliciting for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) on a full and open competitive basis for the development and fielding of Development and Fielding of Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IETS) systems/prototypes related to future systems and the sustainment of deployed systems. This is a follow-on effort to IDIQ contracts N6893621D-0016 through -0018. The sources sought for this procurement was posted under solicitation N6893625R0030. This requirement will focus on the continued delivery and fielding of IETS that are based upon or derived from the Common Geo-Positioning (CGS) package of software and related hardware components deployed in the Distributed Common Ground System Navy (DCGS) family of programs. This solicitation is being solicited through the Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) at https://piee.eb.mil. All submissions in response to this solicitation must be received in the PIEE Solicitation Module, according to the guidance in the Request for Proposals (RFP). Contractors must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) in order to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Export Controlled Information. Access to CUI is limited, to a single point of contact (POC) per CAGE code, who is listed as the Data Custodian on the DD 2345 and approved by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The DD 2345 must be approved prior to requesting access to CUI in SAM.gov. Contractors are responsible for coordinating with their CAGE code Data Custodian POC to request access to CUI. For additional information, visit the DLA website for the Joint Certification Program: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/. | Solicitation | 10/19/2026 |
