Commercial Solutions for Expeditionary, Strategic, and Electromagnetic Warfare

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC, Crane) is seeking innovative commercial solutions to rapidly improve commercial technologies, existing Government-owned capabilities, or concepts for defense application. NSWC Crane's mission is to deliver innovative solutions and readiness to the Nation and its Warfighters through application of Technical Capabilities. They are seeking solutions relevant to the following areas of technological exploration: Expeditionary Warfare, Strategic Missions, and Electromagnetic Warfare. NSWC Crane is soliciting Solution Briefs in response to individual Areas of Interest (AOIs). Evaluation of responses will consist of three phases: 1) Solution Brief, 2) Pitch, and 3) Full written proposal. Awards made under this CSO will be fixed price. Multiple awards may be made to pursue similar or dissimilar solutions should they all meet the technical criteria, be selected for award, and if funds are available. Prototype OTAs awarded against this CSO will allow for an iterative prototyping process, allowing the Government to modify the work to meet additional unique and discrete purposes/mission sets. Upon successful completion of a prototype project under the OTA, the Government may negotiate a follow-on production contract or agreement without further competition.
