Description
The Navy’s Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC‑Pacific) is seeking market research feedback from existing SeaPort‑NxG contractors on a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the DICE Laboratory Sustainment and Engineering Support effort. The work envisions a hybrid acquisition strategy that combines a firm‑fixed‑price (FFP) monthly recurring service for baseline laboratory operations with a cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee (CPFF) level‑of‑effort component for unpredictable surge technical support. The effort will support classified (TS/SCI) laboratory environments, provide systems engineering, cybersecurity, hardware‑in‑the‑loop integration, and day‑to‑day lab sustainment for up to five years.
• Core functions include infrastructure sustainment, physical security/COMSEC, IT systems administration, vulnerability scanning, test‑bed staging, configuration management, and project reporting.
• Personnel must hold TOP SECRET/SCI clearances and DoD 8140/8570 CSWF IAT Level II credentials.
• Performance metrics are strict (e.g., 24‑hour UPS battery replacement, twice‑weekly vulnerability scans, 1‑day ticket resolution).
• The solicitation is a pre‑award RFI; no award or funding values are disclosed, and responses are due by 28 Oct 2026, 10 AM PST.
