The document outlines a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) for the acquisition of an unmanned surface vessel (USV) and related services. The RFP specifies several items, including a 24' Tsunami USV with communication equipment, a 360-degree sensor package, and engineering training and support. It emphasizes compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) identification requirements and includes a Statement of Work (SOW) detailing project background, applicable documents, contractor obligations, and performance criteria.
The contract involves integration, testing, and evaluation of USV weapon systems, requiring the contractor to provide training at the NSWCDD facility and engineering support for a specific duration. Key logistical details, such as delivery locations, acceptance terms, and invoicing instructions through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, are provided. Furthermore, clauses concerning data rights, warranty extensions, and compliance with federal regulations are included, all aiming to ensure that the contract frameworks support small businesses and veteran-owned entities while fulfilling government security and performance standards.
