How to bid on Fielded Ground Systems Program Management for DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying
The Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic) is looking for small businesses to provide program management and technical support for their Fielded Ground Systems (FGS) Integrated Product Team (IPT). This work involves tasks outlined in a draft performance work statement.
The contract is expected to include a base year, four one-year option periods, and a possible six-month extension. This is a market survey, not a request for proposals, meaning the agency is gathering information on available capabilities.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This opportunity was published on September 08, 2026. Responses are due by September 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. This deadline is for submitting your capability information in response to the market survey.
Since this is a Request for Information (RFI) or market survey, no awards will be made directly from this notice. The agency will use the submitted information to understand the market and inform future procurement decisions.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for small businesses that hold a SeaPort NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC). Large businesses are not eligible to participate.
Firms specializing in professional services, particularly program management and technical support for defense or government systems, would find this relevant. The work falls under the professional category.
How to respond
To access the full details and respond, you will need to register for a PIEE account. SeaPort Small Business MAC holders are required to have PIEE accounts to receive market survey requests, solicitations, and submit proposals or offers.
After accessing the opportunity, review the draft performance work statement (PWS) Section 3.0 to understand the scope of work. Submit your capability information as requested by the deadline.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI, provide clear and concise information about your company's relevant experience and capabilities. Focus on how your firm can meet the requirements outlined in the draft PWS Section 3.0.
Highlight specific past performance related to program management and technical support for ground systems or similar complex integrated product teams. Clearly state your SeaPort NxG contract details to confirm eligibility. Ensure your PIEE account is set up and active well before the submission deadline.
