- Description
- The Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific), has issued Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) N66001-18-S-C001 (see attached). This announcement constitutes a CSO, as defined by Class Deviation 2018-O0016 Defense Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot Program, dated 26 June 2018, and responses may result in the award of a future Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based Contract or an Other Transaction for Prototypes (OT-P). In accordance with DARS Tracking Number 2018-O0016, Class Deviation Defense Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot Program, the contract type for any resultant FAR based or OT-P award shall be Fixed-Price (FP) or Fixed-Price Incentive (FPI). This CSO solicits Information Warfare (IW) related proposals for Phase 1 of the Fight the Naval Force Forward Prototyping and Experimentation Campaign ("Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign"). A classified addendum describes IW focused capability increments that support Fight the Naval Force Forward and the associated emerging warfighting concepts. Proposers may respond to one or more of the capability increments. The Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign is divided into two Phases: Phase 1 multi-month exploration phase that concludes with an Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) Phase 2 Award of contracts/OT- Prototypes in support of multiple technologies selected as 12- to 18-month prototyping and experimentation projects that culminate with Fleet/Force experiments and/or Rapid Fieldings Participation in Phase 1 is required to be considered for award in Phase 2 of the Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign. Proposers will be invited to participate in Phase 1 based on evaluation criteria described in Section 8; Evaluation and Selection Information. Phase 1 culminates with an Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX). The government is not responsible for any costs incurred by Phase 1 participants, to include white paper/proposal submission costs, travel costs, technology demonstrations, exercises, experiments, and all costs associated with ANTX participation. All costs incurred throughout Phase 1 are the responsibility of the participating organization. Throughout Phase 1 and during the ANTX events, the government will provide technical and operational assessment personnel, basic access to approved ranges to conduct experiments, basic venue infrastructure, including shore power, overall exercise planning, and coordination of frequency allocation services. Contractors supporting DoD functions may be utilized to facilitate the ANTX event but will not participate in technical or operational assessments. The Government anticipates utilizing CRADAs, bailment agreements, or awarding more than one FP or FPI contract/OT-P for Phase 2 of the Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign. Proposers will be invited to participate in Phase 2 based on evaluation criteria described in Section 8; Evaluation and Selection Information. The CSO is attached.
