While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopses and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in cases when FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. Disclaimer: This pre-solicitation notice is for information only, and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis. The Government will not reimburse the cost of any submission in response to this announcement -- the entire cost of any submission will be at the sole expense of the source submitting the information. If a solicitation is issued in the future, it will be announced via FedBizOpps/NECO and interested parties must comply with that announcement. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a solicitation in June 2012 for the MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) Canister Production Contract for (FY13-17) MK 14 Mod 2, MK 21 Mod 2, MK 21 Mod 3, and MK 25 Mod 0 canisters, ancillary hardware, and associated support equipment in support of US Navy requirements and NATO SEASPARROW consortium requirements. NAVSEA intends to conduct an industry day on 4 June 2012 at NSWC PHD, Port Hueneme, CA. The Canisters are utilized in the MK 41 Vertical Launching System. The Canisters serve as missile shipping containers (when configured with the Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHSandT) equipment) and launch tubes (when loaded into VLS Modules). The Canisters provide missile environmental protection, structural support, hazard monitoring and rocket motor exhaust gas containment. The MK 14 Mod 2 Canister is the shipping container and provides structural alignment for the TOMAHAWK All Up Round. The Canister shell structure is a steel weldment with corrugated steel skins and cast steel end frames. The Canister contains adjustable lateral restraint shoes, longitudinal shock isolators, an ablative coated steel baseplate structure, ablative blocks, deluge piping, nitrogen fill piping, cables, a code plug and a Canister Safe and Enable Switch. The Canister also contains a telemetry antenna and monitoring connection. The MK 21 Mod 2 Canister is the shipping container and launch tube for SM 3 Block I/IA/IB missiles. The shell structure is a steel weldment utilizing flat plates stiffened with channels and cast steel end frames. The Canister contains booster cradles and guides, shock isolated dorsal fin guide rails, longitudinal shock isolators, an ablative coated steel baseplate structure, ablative lining, deluge piping, cables, a code plug, explosive release bolts and a Canister Safe and Enable Switch. The Canister also contains a fiber optic connector and cable, telemetry antennas and a monitoring connection. The MK 21 Mod 3 Canister is the shipping container and launch tube for SM 6 missiles. This Canister is similar to the MK 21 Mod 2 Canister with some minor differences. The MK 25 Mod 0 Canister is the shipping container and launch tube for EVOLVED SEASPARROW Missiles (ESSM). The Canister consists of four sub cells, a dog down box, a forward support frame, a Canister frame, a Canister Electrical Module (CEM), cables, explosive release bolts and deluge piping. The Dog down box contains four sub cell base assemblies, four aft-support grids and a Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA). Each sub cell base includes longitudinal shock isolators, a longitudinal restraint clamp, a longitudinal restraint monitor, an obturator tube and a missile umbilical connector. The CEM includes a PWA, Canister Safe/Enable Switch and Canister umbilical connector. The PWA in the CEM and Dog down box contain relays and other circuitry to allow the launcher to direct signals to any of the four sub cells. Each sub cell includes guide rails, upper lateral and lower lateral missile restraints and guide rails. The Canister also contains telemetry antennas and a monitoring connection. NAVSEA intends to award one Firm Fixed Price contract via full and open competition. Requirements include, but are not limited to, production of canisters, as well as design, fabrication and/or procurement and assembly of all special tooling, test equipment and gauges required to manufacture, assemble, test and inspect MK 41 VLS Canisters, ancillary hardware, and associated support equipment. Additionally, the Offeror will be required to fabricate or procure, maintain and calibrate the Canister Internal Fit Check Tool(s) that perform the Canister internal fit checks required by each Canister Parameters Document. The anticipated contract period of performance for this requirement will be from the date of contract award, approximately May 2013, through delivery of all hardware. The solicitation will be issued electronically via http://www.neco.navy.mil. Hard copies of the solicitation will not be provided or mailed. Interested offerors should monitor both the FBO page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the NECO site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil for the release of the solicitation. Since this solicitation, and any applicable amendments, will be issued electronically, the Government is under no obligation to maintain a bidderà ‚¬ s mailing list.
