The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), intends to award a modification to an existing contract with Jensen Hughes Inc for research and development services focused on survivability and fire protection systems. This procurement aims to extend the ordering period of the current contract from April 14, 2025, to April 14, 2026, under the authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source is available. Interested parties may submit a capability statement to demonstrate their qualifications, although this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive proposals. Responses must be submitted by February 3, 2025, and inquiries should be directed to Maribel Ramirez at maribel.ramirez23.civ@us.navy.mil.
