CIP New Scope under FY22 FC Production Contract

The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) has issued a Special Notice regarding a procurement modification for an existing contract with General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The notice pertains to a specific procurement under Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 of contract N0003022C1003, which was originally awarded on a sole source basis on July 14, 2022. The contract involves the production of fifty-three (53) Captain's Interface Panel (CIP) Keylock Assemblies for the SPALT 30365 SSBN Fire Control Replacement System. This opportunity is categorized under the Engineering Services NAICS code 541330 and Miscellaneous Fire Control Equipment PSC code 1290. The Special Notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive proposal request and was posted on May 5, 2025, with a due date of May 20, 2025.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to announce SSP's intent to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a procurement modification that is directly linked to ongoing work by GDMS. Contractors are not invited to submit competitive proposals, and no email or phone inquiries will be accepted. Companies interested in potential subcontracting opportunities are directed to contact GDMS's Small Business Liaison, Ms. Alexis Petro, via email at alexis.petro@gd-ms.com. The procurement requires the contractor to build, inspect, test, and deliver the specified CIP Keylock Assemblies for both United States and United Kingdom maritime applications. Eligibility is effectively limited, as the contract was originally awarded on a sole source basis, suggesting that GDMS is the primary and likely sole contractor for this specific modification. The notice underscores the specialized and strategic nature of the work, which involves critical fire control system components for naval strategic systems.
