What types of technical expertise are most critical for NAVSEA HQ contracts?

NAVSEA prioritizes vendors with specialized capabilities in naval architecture, marine propulsion, submarine hull integrity, and combat systems software integration. Demonstrating experience with military-grade standards and maritime cybersecurity is essential for prime contract eligibility.

Do I need a facility security clearance to work with NAVSEA HQ?

Yes, many NAVSEA solicitations involve Controlled Unclassified Information or classified defense technology, requiring vendors to hold a Facility Security Clearance (FCL) from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency.
