The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to award a modification to Contract N00024-13-C-5116 for additional engineering efforts associated with the fielding of AEGIS Weapon System Advanced Capability Build Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 (ACB 16), the delivery of full functionality for Advanced Capability Build FY2020 (ACB 20), and the delivery of additional capabilities into an incremental capability build beyond ACB 16. The estimated period of performance of this contract action is September 2018 through August 2022.

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the Government intends to award this contract modification on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary & Mission Systems (LM RMS) in Moorestown, New Jersey.
