25-52-0188 GDMS IDIQ PoP Extension

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued Special Notice 25-52-0188 to extend the Period of Performance for an existing IDIQ contract. The notice concerns Contract N6449821D4021, which provides engineering and technical services in support of the Austal Variant Littoral Combat Ship. The government intends to extend the contract's Period of Performance from May 24, 2026, to May 24, 2029. This is a non-competitive action, as General Dynamics Mission Systems (CAGE: 3CX85) has been determined to be the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the Navy's requirements. The extension is being pursued under the authority of FAR 6.302 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits sole-source procurement when only one source can meet the government's needs.

The objective of this Special Notice is to formalize the Navy's intent to extend performance on existing contract services that provide in-service engineering, life cycle support, and technical services for the Independence-variant Littoral Combat Ship's Hull Mechanical & Electrical systems. The due date for this Special Notice is December 3, 2025. Since this is a sole-source extension, only General Dynamics Mission Systems is eligible to participate, and no competitive proposals are being solicited. The underlying IDIQ contract, valued at $17,367,349, encompasses multiple labor categories including program managers, engineers, logisticians, and technical specialists, with task orders available at both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable rates. Performance will occur primarily at the contractor's facility, with potential travel required to locations including San Diego, Philadelphia, Mobile, and Singapore.
