OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) hereby gives notice of intent to sole source to AdvantEdge Technologies Inc. (ATI) (Cage Code 3PQL7) for a follow-on requirement for Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) engineering and technical support services. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541330 - Engineering Services, with a size standard of $ 47.0 million. This is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services for operation, maintenance and repair of the current SDTS platform (Ex Paul F Foster, EDD 964). The SDTS Program consists of both the SDTS and Test Ship Remote Control System (TSRCS). The TSRCS provides the remote capability for the SDTS to operate in an unmanned capacity at sea in support of high-risk live-fire Test and Evaluation (T&E) events. The SDTS primarily supports T&E initiatives related to Engineering and Combat Systems (CS), Ship Self Defense System (SSDS), and various weapons, control, and engineering systems as needed by the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DoN). The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Awarding the follow-on SDTS support contract to any source other than ATI would introduce a transition period which would cause unacceptable mission delays to scheduled critical milestones and deployment timelines. The anticipated period of performance is three (3) years, inclusive of a base year and two (2) option years, covering the current SDTS platform�s end-of-life phase. All responsible sources may identify their interest and provide capability statements in response to this notice. Interested companies should submit, on company letterhead, a notice of interest including the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address of one point of contact. Responses to this notice should not exceed 10 pages (8.5 x 11 inch) and 12-point font Times New Roman font. Submission shall be in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat and shall be sent electronically to the contract specialist at melissa.a.hautman.civ@us.navy.mil and the contracting officer at gary.l.heagy.civ@us.navy.mil. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received within 15 days of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government. DISCLAIMER: THIS SYNOPSIS IS FOR INFOMRATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NOR DOES IT CONSITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCMENT.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This is a pre-solicitation signal. Use it to prepare, verify likely eligibility and watch for the formal solicitation or amendments before committing proposal effort.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 541330 · PSC R425 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
