- Description
- The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a sole source solicitation numbered N00024-14-R-6222, for a Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract, to procure Technology Insertion (TI)-16 Acoustic Rapid Action Commercial Off-the- Shelf (COTS) Insertion (A-RCI) hardware and software systems, technical insertion kits, and associated spares for SSN688/688I, SSBN, SSGN, and SEAWOLF Class submarines, modernization kits, hardware and software systems for new construction, and hardware and software system upgrades for VIRGINIA Class submarines, including approximately 2,732,810 man-hours of engineering services and post installation support for A-RCI. Specifically, this procurement covers development, system engineering, integration, production, support, and spares requirements. Common support services requirements for Surface Undersea Warfare and Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems are also included, as well as potential Foreign Military Sales (FMS) of A-RCI hardware and software variants. The contractor will support engineering services and production for the Large Aperture Bow Array (LAB), Lightweight Wide-Aperture Array (LWWAA), Legacy Replacement, and high frequency sonar upgrade EC-20. The contractor will also provide engineering support to develop design improvements for new and modified acoustic sensor systems, perform upgrades for common forward fit and back fit networking, and transition Advanced Processing Builds (APBs) into their specific platforms, trainers, and shore based facilities. A-RCI is a sonar system that integrates and improves towed array, hull array, sphere array, and other ship sensor processing, through rapid insertion of COTS based hardware and software. The period of performance for this effort is four (4) years, one base year and three (3) option years, from FY15 through FY18. This requirement will be solicited sole source from Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (LM MST) in Manassas, Virginia, which is the current A-RCI system integrator under contract N00024-11-C-6294. LM MST is the only source with the requisite knowledge of the A-RCI system design, hardware, support equipment, technical experience, and resources necessary to meet the Government's needs in a timely manner. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin directly. This notice is for informational purposes only. See Note 22. NAVSEA intends to synopsize the following full and open competitive contracts for A-RCI procurements in the near future: (1) TI-18/TI-20 A-RCI Integration, (2) TI-18/TI-20 A-RCI Light Weight Wide Aperture Array (LWWAA) Processing, and (3) TI-18/TI-20 A-RCI Light Weight Low Cost Conformal Array (LWLCCA) Processing. T hese competitive RFPs are scheduled to be released in Fall 2014 (ARCI TI18/20) and Spring 2015 (LWWAA and LWLCCA).
