- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Management and Data Systems (LMM&DS), P.O. Box 8048, Philadelphia, PA 19101 for technical services to provide software enhancement activities for the Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TTWCS). LMM&DS is the incumbent for engineering and development of the TTWCS. This contract action will require the incumbent to work in close association with Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC-DD) to support adaptive enhancements related to the continued evolution of TTWCS capabilities, perfective enhancements to improve software performance, suitability, reliability and maintainability, and corrective changes to fix defects. Initial TTWCS system level requirements included compliance with the Joint Technical Architecture, hardware-software independence, and for the TTWCS, to be expandable and extensible LMM&DS has independently developed core proprietary data that is necessary and essential for the enhancement activities of the TTWCS Operating Environment (OE). The TTWCS Operating Environment supports intra software communications for Common Services and hardware diagnostics and by the use of Architecture Based Design (ABD) tools optimizes system design characteristics. Detailed knowledge of ABD artifacts and design of the Operating Environment are therefore prerequisites to enable rapid response to correct emergent problems identified by the ships' forces and to support the addition of new system level requirements consistent with the evolutionary growth of software intensive weapon systems. Additional requirements for this effort include certification within the past 24 months of a Level 3 or higher for software capability maturity using either the Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for software development, or the CMM Integrated for Systems Engineering and Software development. Accordingly, as the designer, developer and sole manufacturer of the TTWCS, Lockheed Martin is the only firm with the unique knowledge, experience, technical expertise, and understanding of the TTWCS design and system architecture. Therefore, award to any one other than the incumbent would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Navy's requirements. The estimated period of performance for this prospective contractual action is 1 year, with 4 one-year options. Note 22 applies. ***** The instant solicitaion number should read N00019-02-R-3169 vice N00019-99-R-3169.
