NIWC Pacific plans a full-and-open RFP for multiple IDIQ contracts supporting intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and information operations, from seabed to space. Work can happen worldwide, with a seven-year ordering period. This is a presolicitation; the final RFP is expected no earlier than 21 November 2025.
Watch out for
- High-level security clearances. Work may require TS/SCI-level classification, so a small business without facility and personnel clearances may be unable to perform.
Security classification will vary from Unclassified to Top Secret/Incidental Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) classification.
- Full and open, large scope. Small businesses compete against large firms for a broad technical scope with cost-type pricing that requires an approved accounting system.
This requirement will be competed on a full-and-open basis.
- Worldwide and at-sea work. Performance may be anywhere in the world, including aboard vessels and with coalition partners, which adds travel and logistics burden.
Contract activities may be performed throughout the world.

The services contemplated under this effort will provide the Navy with the ability to develop and field ISR systems that incorporate the latest capabilities for maintaining robust communication, surveillance, and security to accommodate advances in technology and other complementary systems while countering ever-increasing threats. The Government contemplates that, in its capacity, the contractor will provide technical support services in the form of algorithm development, data design processing, hardware and software development, fabrication, installation, testing, deployment, recovery, repair, systems engineering, program and configuration management, logistics, maintenance, sustainment, training, environmental support, and analysis in support of ISR activities, ISR systems, and corresponding cybersecurity operations. ISR activities may include support related to chemical, nuclear, biological, and radiological (CNBR) elements related to unmanned system. ISR systems may include surveillance programs, systems, networks, and tactical data communications systems including automated radio communications systems, satellite terminal systems, and space, air, land and water autonomous or non-autonomous systems that could be used in ISR operations. Contract activities may be performed throughout the world. In addition, work may be performed onboard afloat vessels (including U.S. Coast Guard vessels), in port, or at sea alongside coalition partner nations (e.g., NATO countries).
