About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) cancelled the previously planned Federal Acquisition Regulation-based solicitation for the AN/SLQ-25E Production Follow-On contract (Notice ID N0025325R7004 / N0025326R7003), effective immediately, and will not issue an RFP under that notice. The Navy has revised its acquisition strategy to pursue a pre-production prototype project under Other Transaction Authority (10 U.S.C. 4022) instead, focusing on manufacturing maturation, tooling qualification, and obsolescence mitigation ahead of full-rate production. The prototype effort will include fabrication and delivery of Production-Representative Articles and Proof of Design units, fabrication of Proof of Manufacturing units, and pilot-line tooling qualification to achieve Manufacturing Readiness Level 7 or 8. NAVSEA intends to release a formal Request for Prototype Projects through the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC) on or about the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 as a competitive OTA announcement. Traditional defense contractors, non-traditional defense contractors, and small businesses are encouraged to monitor the UTIC portal for the forthcoming AN/SLQ-25E prototype solicitation.
