Description
THIS OPPORTUNITY IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR SEAPORT-NxG CONTRACT HOLDERS ONLY This Request for Information (RFI) is issued to conduct market research and solicit industry feedback on a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) and proposed acquisition strategy.

To support this market research, NIWC Pacific is seeking industry feedback and critical review from qualified SeaPort-NxG contractors capable of providing systems engineering, cybersecurity, laboratory sustainment, and hardware-in-the-loop integration support for the DICE Laboratory in San Diego, CA (ZIP 92152). This follow-on effort requires a TS/SCI cleared workforce to support major C4ISR programs (including CANES) over an anticipated 5-year period of performance.
