Specifically, SSP is seeking capable firms for engineering and technical services with an emphasis on Navy Reentry Bodies (RB) Vulnerability and Performance, Systems Analysis and Effectiveness, Nuclear Weapons Surety and System Safety, Radiological Health and Radiation Control, and future Navy Program development as cited in paragraph 8.0 below. The contract type will include Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Level of Effort, Term Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS). The Period of Performance (POP) will include a FY26 effort from 1 October 2025 � 30 September 2026. NOTE: Given the highly technical nature of SSP�s mission set as a major weapons systems command and corresponding technical requirements, respondents must provide recent and relevant past performance data (as detailed below) to demonstrate and substantiate the respondents ability to successfully execute requirements detailed in this SSN. 6.0 White Paper Capability Statement Credentials a. SSP is seeking detailed, complete, and thorough White Paper capability statements from interested firms who can demonstrate and document, with evidentiary support, that they 1) possess the minimum qualifications and experience identified in paragraph 7.0 which are critical to the successful execution of the requirements, and 2) demonstrate recent and relevant experience, as the Prime contractor (or subcontractor) performing the same/similar efforts of the same/similar scope, size, and complexity to the requirements identified in paragraph 8.0. Interested firms must demonstrate their existing capability, or potential to acquire the capability, to meet the requirements identified in paragraph 8.0 requirements by the time of contract award, estimated to be 1 October 2025. 6.1 Small Business Concerns IAW FAR Subpart 19.2 Polices, SSP seeks to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Small Business Concerns who possess the minimum qualifications and experience identified in paragraph 7.0 and who can demonstrate its concerns� capability (or ability to obtain the capability by the contract award date) to execute the complete requirements identified in the requirements identified in paragraph 8.0, as well provide the requisite past performance experience detailed in Section 9.0, are encouraged to respond to this SSN. If a small business concern intends to partner with another entity, the small business concern must identify which specific requirements identified in paragraph 8.0 efforts/tasks it intends to perform, as well as the specific efforts/tasks the partner will perform, with the substantiating data required in this SSN supporting the identified partnering roles and responsibilities. NOTE: 100% of the requirements identified in paragraph 8.0 structure and SSN requirements must be addressed in any submitted partnering submittal, if obtainable. NOTE: In the event this contract is set aside for small business concerns, the small business concern agrees that it will be in strict compliance and conformance with the percentage payment limitations for services, supplies, or construction (as applicable) to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting and state such in their response. 7.0 Minimum Qualifications / Experience Requirements Interested firms shall document and submit specific and evidenced / demonstrated possession of the minimum qualifications and experience requirements in the technical areas identified in bullets a through z below which are critical to the successful execution of the requirements in paragraph 8.0. This experience shall be documented as specified in paragraph 9.0. Potential sources must have the ability to, or have a thorough understanding of the following: Hostile environments, natural space environments, fratricide environments, and intrinsic radiation environments relevant to Navy RBs and their applicability to vulnerability and performance. Hostile environments include, but are not limited to: nuclear weapons, electromagnetic radiation, kinetic energy weapons, and directed energy weapons. Natural space environments include, but are not limited to: cosmic radiation, trapped protons and electrons, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. Navy RB�s vulnerability and performance concerns including accuracy perturbations resulting from exposure to hostile environments, natural space environments, and/or fratricide environments. Vulnerability and effectiveness of Navy RBs and RB components in the following environments: Mechanical, electrical, and/or electromagnetic effects. Conduct hostile and fratricide radiation transport calculations for Navy reentry systems. Calculate personnel dose rate in both the existing Ohio Class submarine and the planned Columbia class submarine. Conduct performance and vulnerability assessments for normal, abnormal and hostile environments in support of a new Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) Development Program for Navy RBs Calculate electromagnetic attenuation, signal degradation, or radio frequency signal blackout brought on by reentry plasma sheathing. Conduct independent assessments of hypersonic reentry plasma sheathing and subsequent effects on electromagnetic signal transmission. Conduct ground based hostile blast analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. Assist SSP with intrinsic radiation (INRAD) studies at both SSP facilities and on board SSBN�s, and radioactive waste characterization, storage and disposal. Analyze biological effects of radiation from plutonium, tritium and uranium including emitter effects. Analyze the effects of postulated radiological events. Analyze results of site contamination surveys to ensure a safe working environment to include gamma and neutron test/surveys. Evaluate, monitor, review, and update all Navy related documentation such as Special Weapons Ordnance Publications (SWOPs), Directives, Instructions, Ordnance Documents (ODs), etc. Conduct independent assessments of the transporting, processing, handling and maintenance procedures and the monitoring techniques (air and surface) that apply to hazardous materials (radioactive and mixed waste) and gamma and neutron personnel exposure. Produce and/or coordinate requirements documents including Military Characteristics (MCs), Stockpile-to-Target Sequences (STSs), and Technical Objectives and Guidelines (TOGs). Provide input regarding the DOD Nuclear Weapon System Surety Program Key Elements as detailed in DODM 3150.02: DOD Nuclear Weapon System Surety Standards, DOD Nuclear Weapon System Surety Policy, DOD Nuclear Weapon Safety Design Criteria, Positive Measures, Safety Rules and Technical Procedures. Conduct evaluations of deployed and advanced/future system options including ballistic and non-ballistic, strategic and tactical, nuclear and conventional reentry systems. These evaluations shall include but not be limited to assessments of the survivability, military utility and effectiveness, and dynamics of these systems and concepts in normal, abnormal and hostile environments against the full spec
