Scope
SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION 1.1 Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), in partnership with the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Program Executive Office Special Operations Forces (SOF) Warrior / Program Manager SOF Protection and Integration (PM-PI), and its subordinate and associated commands seek to accelerate the development, procurement, and integration of advanced Tactical Maritime Survivability (TMS) and Target Vessel Embarkation Equipment (TVEE) capabilities in support of the Joint Force, SOF, and allied maritime boarding elements.
The core objective is to deliver standardized, ruggedized, and highly portable scaling and breaching tools to NSW operators conducting high-risk Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) and Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO).
1.2 NSWC seeks to award Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracts or Other Transaction (OT) agreements (see 10 U.S.C. §§ 4021-23) to establish a streamlined pipeline for next-generation embarkation equipment and specialized operator training.
Resultant contracts or agreements will provide physical systems, material configurations, and/or training across a broad range of capabilities.
These capabilities must directly support mission effectiveness in terms of high-angle scaling poles, high-load dynamic attachment hooks, lightweight tactical ladders, transport/buoyancy systems, and non-munitions breaching kits to be acquired, developed, or improved upon if already in use by NSWC, USSOCOM, the Department of War (DoW), or the U.S.
Government, as well as interagency and FVEY partners.
As such, under the authority of DFARS Subpart 212.70, NSWC releases this CSO.
1.2.1 NSWC anticipates the award of a Firm-Fixed Price type contract in accordance with FAR Part 12.
Offerors are encouraged to review FAR 52.212-...

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
