One contract will be awarded for the development of the LMRS. The competition will be limited to the two contractors that were competitively awarded LMRS Detailed Design Contracts in October 1997. The two contractors are: Northrop Grumman Corporation, Annapolis, MD, and Boeing North American, Anaheim, CA. The competition is limited to these contractors since the development will be based on their Detailed Design. This Navy acquisition strategy was briefed to industry during the initial competition in FY96. The request for proposal will be released to the two competitors on or about 3 August 1999 with an anticipated contract award on or about 9 November 1999. (0163)
