This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a solicitation, seeking industry input on the capability to fabricate the All Up Round plus Canister Simulator (AURCS), a developmental item designed by NUWCDIVNPT. The anticipated effort includes fabrication and assembly of a First Article Unit, recurring AURCS units and PSE kits, and related engineering and supply-chain services, with delivery to NUWCDIVNPT. Respondents should address their facility/infrastructure, precision machining, welding program/personnel, schedule adherence, and past performance with complex fabrication projects, and submit a white paper up to 10 pages plus optional visuals. The related technical attachments are controlled unclassified information requiring SAM.gov access.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) to assess industry interest and capability for fabricating the All Up Round plus Canister Simulator (AURCS), a developmental item designed by NUWC Division Newport. The anticipated work includes fabrication and assembly of a First Article Unit and recurring AURCS units with associated support equipment, plus services such as engineering changes and supply chain management. Respondents must demonstrate experience in large-scale precision machining, stringent welding programs, schedule adherence for aggressive delivery rates, and past performance on complex fabrication projects. Responses are limited to a 10-page white paper, and access to distribution-controlled attachments requires an active SAM.gov registration and appropriate role. The completed units would be shipped to NUWC Division Newport, but this RFI does not commit the government to a future contract.
