Small Business

United States Code Title 15, Section 637(A) (12) (C), requires the Department of the Navy to prepare a three-year forecast of expected contract opportunities and make the forecast available to small businesses. This is the most recent release of NAVWAR's Long Range Acquisition Forecast. This forecast contains the known NAVWAR requirements (valued at $150,000 or more, excluding MAC IDIQ task order awards other than SEAPORT). The forecast is informational only and does not constitute an offer or commitment by the Navy to fund, in whole or part, the opportunities referenced herein. This listing is not all inclusive and is subject to change. Vendors shall not contact any contracting or technical personnel regarding this information and all inquires shall be submitted via email to SPAWARSBO@navy.mil.
