The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), intends to procure CRNAV membership services from Marin, the Marine Institute of the Netherlands, on a sole-source basis for the period of October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. This procurement aims to secure a one-year membership in the Cooperative Research Navies (CRNAV) Group, which is crucial for enhancing naval ship stability criteria and providing operational guidance during heavy weather training. The contract will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is limited to Marin due to its role as the designated coordinator for CRNAV support, with key deliverables including updates on FREDYN software and coordination assistance for technical groups. Interested vendors must submit a capabilities statement by September 20, 2024, and inquiries should be directed to Steven Besanko at steven.besanko@navy.mil.
