This forthcoming effort will focus on: • Fabrication and delivery of Production-Representative Articles (PRA) / Proof of Design (POD) units. • Fabrication of Proof of Manufacturing (POM) units and pilot-line tooling qualification to achieve Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) 7/8.

Interested parties, including traditional defense contractors, non-traditional defense contractors (NDCs), and small businesses, are encouraged to monitor the UTIC portal for future announcements regarding the AN/SLQ-25E POM/POD prototype project.

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.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. 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.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. 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.
