What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE NAVY
Location: Newport, RI
Set-aside: Small Business Set Aside - Total
NAICS: 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
Scope: Federal

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order for a Pay and Benefit (P&B) study to be conducted.

The Government is in the early phases of preparing for a solicitation for the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) Maintenance and Operations follow-on contract.

This study is needed before a solicitation is posted for the follow-on, as the Government needs to have a fair and reasonable P&B package for American and Bahamian personnel employed under the AUTEC Maintenance and Operations contract.

This requirement is 100% small business set-aside as concurred with by the NUWCDIVNPT Office of Small Business Programs.

The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 541990.

Small Business Size Standard is $19.5M.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
