The Department of the Army, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District (W072 ENDIST LOUISVILLE), has issued a solicitation for the construction of the Unmanned Fusion Warfare Laboratory at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Crane, Indiana. This procurement seeks qualified contractors to deliver a facility that will support advanced research and development activities related to unmanned systems and fusion warfare capabilities. The project falls under the NAICS code 236220, which pertains to Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and is classified under Product Service Code Y1JZ.
The scope of this procurement encompasses the full construction of a specialized laboratory facility. While specific design and technical requirements are contained within restricted solicitation documents, the overall objective is to provide a secure, state-of-the-art environment capable of supporting sensitive defense-related research. The intended outcome is a facility that meets stringent federal standards for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI), ensuring both physical and cyber security throughout the contract lifecycle.
Access to the complete solicitation package, including drawings and specifications, is restricted due to the sensitive nature of the information. Contractors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and a current BASIC confidence level in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) to request these documents. The process requires firms to verify their compliance with DFARS clause 252.240-7997 and NIST SP 800-171, and to submit their CAGE Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) via email to the designated points of contact, Chase J. Rost ([email protected]) and Jessica K. Moss ([email protected]). Upon government confirmation, access to the restricted documents will be granted through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE).
A critical requirement for this solicitation is compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 (Self). All contractor and subcontractor information systems that will process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI during contract performance must meet this standard prior to award. Contractors must submit their CMMC Unique Identifier (UID) as issued by SPRS, and failure to demonstrate the required CMMC status will render an offeror ineligible for award. Conditional CMMC Level status may be accepted in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7502.
The procurement is set aside for Small Business Administration (SBA) eligible entities, emphasizing the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in federal contracting. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to attend the organized site visit scheduled for May 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. The meeting point is the Visitor's Center at 103 Furlong Street, Crane, IN 47522. Prospective attendees must submit a visitor request form to Jake Alvey ([email protected]) at least three days in advance to facilitate access processing.
The solicitation is currently active, with a response deadline of June 15, 2026. All inquiries and requests for access to restricted documents should be directed to the primary and secondary contacts listed above. Contractors evaluating this opportunity should ensure they meet all mandatory prerequisites, including cybersecurity and registration requirements, and are prepared to deliver a facility that aligns with the Department of Defense’s operational and security objectives.
