System for Award Management (SAM) is the official source for organizations within the federal government to publish notices on proposed contract actions valued at more than $25,000. These notices include pre-award announcements on contract opportunities. If you are interested in doing business with the Federal government, you can use this site to research active opportunities. Within the opportunity there will be a link to the agency’s website that contains additional information on the opportunity. NAVWAR, NIWC Pacific and NIWC Atlantic opportunities can be found within the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module. The Solicitation Module allows vendors to respond to solicitations and communicate directly with Solicitation Managers in a secure environment. Instructions for registering can be found at: https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/docs/piee/PIEE_Solicitation_Module_Vendor_Access_Instructions.pdf You will be able to find these announcements most easily by going to the following: · NAVWAR HQ Contract Opportunities: DoDAAC N00039 NIWC Pacific Contract Opportunities: DoDAAC N66001 NIWC Atlantic Contract Opportunities: DoDAAC N65236

To tap into the innovative spirit of non-traditional defense contractors, NAVWAR partners with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and leverages their Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) announcement (HQ0845-20-S-C001) and platform. The CSO provides a streamlined and agile procurement process to rapidly prototype and field cutting-edge commercial technologies. If you're a non-traditional vendor with a game-changing solution, this is the place to find opportunities. Opportunities sought using Other Transaction (OT) authority (10 U.S.C. 4022) steer away from the traditional MIL-SPEC, boutique solutions that our customers have historically required. If you've never done business with the Government, you'll likely prefer this method of procurement.

When the latest technical challenges are not a good fit for the NAVWAR-DIU CSO, they may instead appear on NAVWAR's CSO platform, leveraging NAVWAR's own CSO announcement N00039-25-S-0001. The NAVWAR CSO leverages 10 USC 3458 and 10 USC 4022 authorities to allow NAVWAR with a quick and agile process to acquire capabilities that may be unique to the Navy. Again, if you're a nontraditional defense contractor new to NAVWAR, this might be your second stop after checking out the DIU storefront.
