About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is procuring engineering and technical support, production of Lightweight Low Cost Conformal Arrays (LwLCCAs), and spares for submarine applications. The LwLCCA is a passive planar array integrated with the Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) system to enhance situational awareness and collision avoidance in shallow water and littoral environments. Contract requirements include system integration, testing, software maintenance, and integrated logistics support, along with spare material procurement consisting of array modules, electronic components, cabling, and anticipated Fleet hardware surge requirements. The Government is utilizing other than full-and-open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on Lockheed Martin Corporation being the only known source possessing the requisite knowledge and ability to satisfy the requirement within the required schedule. While this notice is not a formal request for proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements within fifteen (15) days of publication (due by December 26, 2025) demonstrating their ability to fulfill the requirement, with the understanding that all associated response costs are the sole responsibility of the submitting source.

The contract structure consists of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods for a total potential five-year contract term. Work will be performed in Liverpool, Salina, New York, and falls under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 5845 (Underwater Sound Equipment). While specific contract values are not disclosed in this synopsis, the procurement encompasses production quantities sufficient to support new construction and in-service submarine fleets, along with comprehensive engineering support and spare parts provisioning throughout the contract period.
Notice text
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to utilize other than full-and-open competition to award a five (5) year (one (1) year base with four (4), one (1) year options) contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation (LM) of Syracuse, New York for the procurement of engineering and technical support, production of LwLCCAs, and spares for new construction and projected in-service submarines. The proposed contract will include engineering and technical support for system integration, testing, software maintenance, and integrated logistics support (ILS). The contract will also include spare material requirements which consist of array modules, electronic components, and cabling; and provisions to procure anticipated Fleet’s hardware surge requirements.
