Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No. N66001-24-R-
0029 for Marine Mammal Training services in San Diego, CA in support of the Naval Information Warfare
Center Pacific's (NIWC Pacific's) Marine Mammal Program (MMP). The US Navy maintains a collection of
marine mammals that are used in support of military operational needs. The Marine Mammal Program is
responsible for the daily management of the U.S. Navy's marine mammals, including animal care and
training, facility care, and maintenance of marine mammal systems (See attached Statement of Work).
The contractor will be required to work on the Government site in San Diego, CA and travel as needed to
other worldwide locations.

It is anticipated that the procurement will result in the award of a Level-Of-Effort stand-alone ("C-type")
contract with cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) and cost (no fee) pricing arrangements. The period of
performance will include a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The North American
