NSWC-PHD MATAC OTA Request for Prototype Proposals: Router Chassis Design & Production

The Navy is seeking a contractor to design and fabricate a custom chassis that will house a new commercial network router within the existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet (TEC) on its ships. The prototype chassis must securely mount the router, interface with shipboard power supplies, and fit the standard rack dimensions without requiring a redesign of the ship’s equipment bays. Successful demonstration will lead to a follow‑on production contract for up to 60 chassis units. • Design and fabricate a prototype chassis for a commercial network router to fit Navy ship rack standards. • Ensure mechanical compatibility, power‑interface compliance, and environmental ruggedness for maritime deployment. • Deliver a prototype for evaluation; potential award of up to 60 production units after successful testing.
