PRE-SOLICITATION INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION SOUGHT CBD Update 27 July 1998 Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS) This Commerce Business Daily (CBD) announcement serves as official notice of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) selection of an acquisition strategy for the single common hardware and software architecture baseline for the Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS). On 10 February 1998, Cite W-041 SN167341, SPAWAR informed all interested industry participants that SPAWAR was exploring various acquisition strategies towards the development of a single common architecture baseline for IUSS. SPAWAR advised industry that it was exploring various traditional and non-traditional acquisition strategies. SPAWAR also announced its intention to evaluate, in parallel, within-Navy resources and programs. Specifically, the announcement stated that SPAWAR was evaluating the feasibility of integrating IUSS requirements into an existing Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) submarine sonar developmental program. SPAWAR promised to announce its selected acquisition strategy at the earliest date practicable. Accordingly, SPAWAR has completed its evaluation and determined that SPAWAR will in fact utilize the NAVSEA existing submarine sonar development program. SPAWAR has determined that the NAVSEA submarine sonar program is the most advantageous approach to the Navy with respect to cost, schedule and performance. SPAWAR's decision to implement a common IUSS processing architecture using the submarine sonar development baseline was based primarily on the inherent commonality of IUSS requirements and those associated with the NAVSEAprogram; the inherent commonality results in reduced IUSS-systems ownership costs. While some efforts, to include the Communications and Message Reporting function and Systems Integration function, may not be the subject of current NAVSEA development, SPAWAR has determined that these efforts fall within the scope of existing Navy-contract vehicles. SPAWAR therefore does not anticipate any further need to continue the involvement of interested sources in the information exchange process initiated by the 10 February 1998 CBD announcement. SPAWAR hereby terminates the pre-solicitation Industry Participation and Information Exchange. SPAWAR sincerely thanks all industry participants for their interest and participation in this information exchange.
