# NIWC Atlantic Seeks Crypto Engineering Input

NIWC Atlantic will hold a virtual pre-solicitation industry event on November 18, 2026, to discuss the planned Navy procurement for Crypto and Key Management systems engineering and In Service Engineering Activity services (solicitation N6523627R0004). Contractors can submit questions to the listed NIWC Atlantic contacts by November 13—8 days from November 5. The notice is for market engagement, not a request for proposals; the formal RFP is expected in December 2026.

- Companies interested in the work should send questions by November 13 and use the November 18 event to seek clarification and provide industry feedback.
- Procurement teams should treat this as advance planning: proposal submission requirements are not yet available, and the event does not invite RFP responses.
- The expected December RFP gives prospective bidders a near-term opportunity to prepare for a Navy systems engineering and in-service support solicitation.
