Update 10/23/2026: due to system issues NRL will post answers to vendor questions during the week of 10/26/2026.

Please continue to monitor this posting for all updates to this request for proposals.
UPDATE 11/5/2026: Due to ongoing system issues internal to NRL the proposal submission deadline has been extended to 11/17.

UPDATE: 11/12/2026: NRL has release Amendment 0001 which provides answers to vendor questions, edits to Section L and attachments based on those answers, and extends the proposal submission deadline to 11/20/2026.
