WEB: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract/. E-MAIL: Nancy Teasdale, Contracting Officer, teasdalena@npt.nuwc.navy.mil. NUWC Division, Newport proposes to solicit technical services in support of the Encapsulated HARPOON weapon system (EHWS) and the Encapsulated HARPOON Certification and Training Vehicle (EHCTV) on a sole source basis to Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas)- the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of these systems, because these services require an intimate knowledge of system design, previous modifications/upgrades, and operational characteristics. We anticipate a five year ID/IQ type contract, with anticipated tasks (the bulk of which is expected to be in support of Foreign Military Sales) including: failure analyses; system and design analysis; training and certification; systems integration; and, troubleshooting/repair. Est. LOE is 13,000 hours. This represents a follow-on to N66604-94-D-A063, awarded sole source to McDonnell Douglas, but has been significantly downscoped since the EHWS has been removed from USN submarine platforms. Estimated RFP release date: 11 10 98; SIC Code: 8711. Posted 10/21/98 (W-SN264152). (0294)
