NILE PM0/2020-23 - NILE PROJECT- Request for ISS Support 5 for Information Publication (NILE PM0/2020-23)

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), Navy Command and Control Program Office (PMW 150), on behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Improved Link Eleven (NILE) Nations is conducting a market survey to determine the interest and capability of Industry to provide in-service support (ISS) to the NILE products. 

This RFI intends to accomplish two objectives: 1) to gain an understanding of which interested parties exist in the current marketplace, and 2) to gain an understanding of how those interested parties could meet the technical objectives, performance requirements, and COMSEC requirements for NILE. PMW 150 is interested in responses that can employ a modular approach to meeting the requirements of the NILE technical documents.

The Government intends to conduct two virtual Industry Days to align with PST and CET time zones. The Industry Days will take place after publication of this RFI and before the deadline for submissions. The Industry Days will take place on 20 October 2020 at 13:00 PST, and on 21 October 2020 at 14:00 CET. The purpose of the Industry Day is to provide information relating to the requirement and vendors will have the opportunity to ask clarification questions to the US Government and NILE PMO. The NILE PMO requests interested parties respond via email to Kate McCoy at kate.mccoy@navy.mil if planning to attend an Industry Day. Please include the name of the company, MS Teams email address for each attendee, and date of Industry Day that you wish to attend.

Responses should be provided no later than 4 December 2020 to Ms Kate McCoy (Contracting Officer) at kate.mccoy@navy.mil.
