About this file
This document is a Request for Information from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command regarding the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program Block 3 subsystem and associated ancillary equipment. The Navy is seeking industry input on hardware production and considering different procurement strategies, including a potential winner-take-all single award contract or awarding to both a Leader and Challenger. The Leader would receive a higher proportion of work and be responsible for engineering support services and maintaining technical data packages. Responses to the RFI are due by February 15, 2019 and should not exceed 30 pages. The Navy intends to issue a solicitation in FY20 for build-to-print production to begin in FY20-24, with a notional award date of Q3FY20 and contract type of fixed-price incentive fee for production and cost-type for engineering support services.
