NIEF Production Support Services

The Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, Product & Systems Production Branch, NIWC Pacific Code 42150, intends to issue solicitation No. N66001-25-R-0021 for the Network Integration Engineering Facility (NIEF) Production Support Services contract for the basic research, end-to-end system design, prototype development, systems engineering, integration, production, software loading, pre-installation testing and checkout (PITCO), deployment, and life cycle support of Command, Control, Communications, Computer (C4), Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems.

Major programmatic and technical thrusts are directed toward merging advanced technology and a variety of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) hardware and software into various C4ISR system variants and configurations, primarily supporting joint C4ISR and Cybersecurity needs of the military. While most of this work addresses the Navy’s requirements, support also includes Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard programs.

Other Government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, frequently call on our C4ISR expertise as well.

This is a follow-on requirement to an existing MAC that was competed via full and open competition and awarded to MC Dean, Inc. under contract N66001-21-D-0030; Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under contract N66001-21-D-0031; Serco, Inc. under contract N66001-21-D-0032; Systems Engineering Support Company (SESCo) under contract N66001-21-D-0033; and VT Milcom, Inc. under contract N66001-21-D-0034.

The ordering period of the existing contracts ends on 10 December 2025. NIWC Pacific does not intend to hold an industry day for this requirement. This proposed acquisition has security requirements at the Secret level. This is a full and open competition, anticipated to result with a MAC.
