Shock Testing Government Bids & RFPs

This is a Sources Sought notice from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to identify sources capable of providing Main Line Contactors (MLCs) for the FA18EF and EA18G aircraft. The MLCs need to be upgraded from 65 kva to 90 kva to accommodate increased power demands from sophisticated avionics systems. The government is looking for existing MLCs, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) MLCs, or MLCs that can be modified to meet specific military standards (****, MIL-STD-704E, MIL-STD-810G) and environmental requirements. Interested businesses must submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the specifications, including details on electrical and mechanical ratings, environmental qualifications, life cycle, and production capacity. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) is required for contract eligibility. Small businesses are encouraged to identify their status and potential teaming partners. The submission deadline for capability statements is April 27, 2026. Late submissions will not be considered.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought notice from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for the production of SABER computing hardware suites. The Navy intends to procure computing platforms to host software and cybersecurity applications. The SABER system includes shock-hardened electronic equipment racks and ancillary hardware for defensive cyber operations on Navy ships. This RFI covers the production of units after 2027 and aims to identify potential sources capable of fulfilling future requirements. Interested parties should submit written information demonstrating their ability to manage design and production, provide systems engineering, conduct reviews, implement configuration management, manage obsolescence, and maintain reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance programs. Responses should include company information, a capability statement detailing previous experience with similar efforts (including building shipboard racks from a government-provided TDP), and any other supporting documentation. Feedback on the SABER Technical Data Package (TDP) and associated alterations is also desired, along with comments on the ability to deliver systems compliant with relevant Navy standards. Access to the SABER TDP will be granted after a vetting process. This notice is for informational planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP).

This is a nonpersonal services contract for the development of a detailed engineering plan for the improvement of the exhaust piping and bellow configuration for the U. S. Navy's diesel engines.
