- Description
- TB-37X MFTA Synopsis on issuance of RFP N00024-18-R-6103 The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a Full and Open Competitive solicitation for the production of fifty-six (56) next-generation TB-37X Multi-Function Towed Arrays (MFTA) (to include an Array Interface Unit (AIU), Test Equipment, Tow Cables, Electro-Optical Slip Ring Assemblies, Drogues, and Shipping Containers). The actual number of TB-37X MFTA Arrays may increase at the time of Request for Proposal (RFP) issuance to accommodate the potential for foreign military sales. This requirement also includes up to 80,000 hours of Engineering Services, spare array modules, and Provisional Item Orders. The resultant contract will include one (1) base year and four (4) option years. The legacy TB-37/U MFTA is an integral part of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Undersea Warfare (USW) Combat System Improvement Program for the Arleigh Burke Class guided missile destroyers (DDG-51), Ticonderoga Class missile cruisers (CG-47) and Zumwalt Class destroyers (DDG 1000). The TB-37X MFTA shall incorporate next-generation telemetry to mitigate reliability and obsolescence issues experienced with the legacy TB-37/U MFTA. The TB-37X will be deployed on additional platforms, including Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and Next Generation Guided Missile Frigates (FFG(X)). The AIU is required to allow the existing AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 interfaces to process the new telemetry data, while also supporting legacy TB-37/U MFTAs while they remain in the fleet. NAVSEA intends to conduct a Full and Open Competition and to issue a RFP on or about 17 September 2018 with proposals due within 60 days.
