N0016426SNB95 Field Service Representatives

This pre-solicitation notice announces that the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, intends to award a sole-source contract to Raytheon Company for on-site Field Service Representatives (FSRs) and off-site engineering support for the AN/ALQ-249(V)1 Next Generation Jammer Mid Band (NGJ-MB) system. Under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, the government plans to negotiate exclusively with Raytheon because no other source possesses the specialized knowledge and expertise required to complete the work without causing substantial schedule delays and duplicative costs. Consequently, no small business set-asides will be applied, and a formal solicitation will not be posted to SAM.gov. While this announcement is not a formal request for proposals or a commitment to award a contract, responsible sources may submit capability statements to the government. The agency will use these responses solely to evaluate whether a competitive procurement is warranted, though the final decision remains entirely at the government's discretion. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Capability statements and inquiries should reference solicitation number N0016426SNB95 and be directed to the designated NSWC Crane points of contact, Kate Muessig and Aaron Deich, by the closing date of August 4, 2026.
