Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically NSWC PHILADELPHIA DIV, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of brand-name Dell hardware to support the CVN 78 MCMS ISEA/SSA transition from HII-NNS to NSWCPD. This acquisition is crucial for establishing a new CVN 78 Lab-Based Test Facility (LBTF). The opportunity is an unrestricted Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, and proposals are due by February 18, 2026, at 03:00 PM EST.
Scope of Work
This procurement requires specific Dell hardware to run the OEM's shipboard representation virtualization within the new LBTF. The LBTF is essential for minimizing fleet support downtime, enabling testing, remote troubleshooting, and software development on representative hardware compatible with the CVN 78. The brand-name requirement is justified by the need for compatibility with existing systems, developed source code, and to mitigate risks associated with grey market hardware.

Additional Notes
This procurement incorporates FAR and DFARS clauses by reference and in full text.

A market survey identified Dell Federal Systems L.P. as the preferred supplier for custom-built servers.
