NIWC Pacific Solicits Info on Cyber MAC

The Naval Information Warfare Center, or NIWC, Pacific has issued a notice soliciting industry feedback on the unrestricted cyberspace science, research, engineering and technology integration services.

According to the request for information posted on SAM.gov Wednesday, NIWC Pacific is conducting a market survey to determine small businesses capable of meeting the requirements of the potential $500 million Cyber multiple award contract, or Cyber MAC.

Interested parties have until May 2 to submit their responses.

Previously Exercised Contract Options

The U.S. Navy exercised option periods for the seven-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract initially awarded in May 2019. The original contract covered the procurement of professional management and technical services in support of the U.S. Navy’s cyberspace operation systems and capabilities. The nine companies selected for the project were BAE Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton, ICF, Leidos, Parsons, Peraton, SAIC, Scientific Research Corp., Perspecta and Northrop Grumman‘s federal information technology and mission business.

The first option period, a $231.2 million contract, was exercised in May 2022. Peraton absorbed Perspecta and the Northrop Grumman business unit in 2021, bringing the number of awardees down to eight.

In 2024, the Navy exercised the second option, a combined $1.86 billion in contracts, enabling the eight companies to continue providing services to the service branch’s cyberspace operations.
