What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE NAVY
Location: PORT HUENEME, CA
NAICS: 541715 - Scientific Research and Development Services (general category)
Scope: Federal

Background and Summary: OSD desires to prototype a novel, scalable operational framework—the Prototypes and Experiments Rapid Fielding Sites (PERFS)—to rapidly integrate, evaluate, and transition disparate maritime and border defense technologies from laboratory environments to field operations.

Problem: The Navy lacks a standardized, agile testing methodology and infrastructure capable of rapidly evaluating and integrating emerging intelligence, maritime, and border defense technologies against dynamic operational threats.

Desired Objectives: To design, test, and validate a repeatable operational and business process prototype that accelerates the evaluation and transition of maritime dominance and border defense capabilities to the warfighter.

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.
