NIWC Atlantic Rapid Capabilities Cell Commercial Solutions Opening

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic issued this special notice for a Rapid Capabilities Cell (RCC) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), identified by solicitation number N6523626S0001. Authorized by 10 U.S.C. 4022, this general solicitation serves as a framework for the acquisition of innovative commercial products and services that accelerate the delivery of capabilities for emergent fleet needs. The effort aligns with NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology).

The CSO facilitates rapid prototyping and the adoption of advanced technologies across warfighting domains, focusing on Expeditionary Tactical Capabilities and Enterprise IT and Business Systems. While this announcement remains continuously open, the government will not accept responses directly against this notice. Instead, the Executive Office of the President and NIWC Atlantic will post specific Areas of Interest (AOIs) as future opportunities for technical solution submissions. One PDF attachment was published with the initial notice on November 5, 2025, and subsequent updates have added security enclosures, public release guidance, and the Vulcan platform for future AOI postings and proposal submissions.

Jessie Rehwoldt serves as the point of contact for this requirement, which may result in the award of Production Other Transaction (OT) agreements. The scope of the RCC mission includes the research, development, prototyping, engineering, test and evaluation, installation, and sustainment of integrated information warfare capabilities to drive warfighter innovation. Future submissions will be evaluated to address specific technology gaps and drive information advantage for the fleet.
