Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, NUWC DIV NEWPORT, has issued an Advance Notice (N66604-26-R-3000) for Code 25 CANES Tactical Networks. This presolicitation indicates an upcoming requirement for engineering and technical services to support the evolution and deployment of Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) and Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN) Tactical Networks for U.S. Navy submarines. The requirement will be a task order against the SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC).

Scope of Work

The effort involves providing engineering and technical services for CANES and SubLAN Tactical Networks. This includes supporting the development, deployment, and sustainment of these critical network systems for U.S. Navy submarines.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Task Order against SeaPort-NxG MAC
  • Duration: 5 years (one base year and four option years)
  • Estimated Level of Effort: 505,785 labor hours over five years
  • Set-Aside: Unrestricted, with a 35% small business participation goal
  • Published: May 7, 2026

Consolidation Rationale

The government has determined that consolidating two existing CANES service task orders into a single Tactical Networks requirement is necessary and justified. This consolidation aligns with PEO C4I PMW160's strategy for a unified Tactical Network, aiming to improve capability fielding and management. Benefits include enhanced technical execution, schedule performance, communication, quality assurance, resource optimization, and mission acceleration. The consolidation is justified per FAR 7.107-2.

Additional Notes

This is an advance notice for planning purposes. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued on an unrestricted basis among SeaPort-NxG MAC holders. Market research has been conducted to support this approach.
