This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals.

No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored.

The U.S.

Department of Navy, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Contracting Division intends to enter into a sole source cost plus fixed-fee contract with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for the continuation of support for Numerical Weather Prediction R&D.

This notice is being posted to meet the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2 and DFARS 206.302-1.

A solicitation will not be posted; however, any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contract Specialist within 15 days of publication of this announcement.

Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to provide developmental experience.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered.

However, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

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.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
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.
