How to bid on System Engineering/Software Integration (SESI) for the U.S. Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Navy's Program Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) in Moorestown, NJ, is planning a contract modification for system engineering and software integration services. This action involves reallocating labor hours and costs among existing contract line items under contract N00024-23-C-5117, without increasing the total hours or the overall estimated dollar value of the contract.
While this is a pre-solicitation synopsis for a sole-source modification, it provides an opportunity for other companies to demonstrate their capability to perform similar services. The Navy is seeking to ensure that only responsible sources are considered for future requirements.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This pre-solicitation synopsis was published on August 31, 2026. Interested parties must submit their capability information within 15 days of this publication date. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is September 15, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET.
At the deadline, the government will consider all expressions of interest received. However, no proposals will be accepted in response to this synopsis. The government will use the information provided to determine if there are other sources capable of meeting the requirements.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily for firms with highly specialized expertise in system engineering and software integration, particularly those with experience relevant to U.S. Navy mission systems. The current contract is with Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, indicating a need for advanced capabilities in this security-related field.
Companies that believe they can provide these services and meet requirements starting in January 2027 should consider responding. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems directly.
How to respond to this notice
To respond, you must submit your expression of interest via email. Your email should be sent to Warren Beckman ([email protected]) and Ashley Mathew ([email protected]).
It is important to reference the SAM.gov Notice ID in your submission. The government will not reimburse respondents for any information provided.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your response, clearly articulate your firm's specific capabilities and experience that directly relate to system engineering and software integration for complex defense systems. Focus on demonstrating how your company can meet the highly specialized requirements and the January 2027 deadline.
Even though this is not a request for proposals, provide concrete examples of past performance or technical expertise that prove your ability to perform these services. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the type of work described in the synopsis. A clear and well-supported statement of capability can influence the government's decision on future competition.
