In order to ensure that Offerors are proposing in accordance with the most current Contract Baseline, Offerors are instructed to submit an updated TDP request form to the Government POCs shown on this posting. The Government will NOT automatically distribute the updated TDP.  

The date for receipt of proposals is hereby extended to 01 March 2016.  Proposals must be received prior to 12:00PM EST on 01 March 2016. 

The purpose of this posting is to update the Government Points of Contact (POC) for the FY16 MK54 Lightweight Torpedo (LWT) Common Parts Kit Procurement. The new Contract Specialist is Megan Einhart (megan.einhart@navy.mil) and the new Contracting Officer is Michael L. Brown (michael.l.brown2@navy.mil). An amendment to the solicitation is pending to update the Government POCs and to make any changes resulting from industry questions. All future questions shall be submitted to the new Government POCs shown above.

The purpose of this action is to post the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for the MK54 Lightweight Torpedo (LWT) Common Parts Kits procurement effort. This procurement was posted previously under RFP # N00024-14-R-6410.  The new solicitation # for this procurement is N00024-15-R-6406.

The purpose of this revision to the TDP synopsis is to revise and replace in its entirety the TDP Material Request Form, DD Form 254 Contract Security Classification Specification, and the SF 312-13 Classified Information NDA.  If requested, it should be noted that this TDP is non-binding, and is provided for information purposes only.  The release of the final RFP for this effort shall contain the final release of the TDP for potential bidders.  For this amendment, when requested, potential bidders will not receive the final TDP.

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to make available the technical data package (TDP) in advance of issuing a competitive Request For Proposal (RFP) for the production of the MK 54 Lightweight Common Parts Kit. The TDP will be made available no later than December 1, 2014. Vendors wishing to have access to an electronic copy, via mailing compact discs (CDs), of the TDP may request it directly from the Government on or after the issue date of the TDP by accessing the following address via the internet site or URL: fbo.gov. No paper copies of the TDP will be issued. Contractors are required to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) prior to receiving the TDP. The TDP will not be the final TDP issued with the RFP. Any items that are known to be in the process of changing will be summarized in a data sheet and a "draft" version of the updates may be also provided with the TDP.

The contents of the TDP are classified SECRET and interested vendors are required to complete and submit the Non-Disclosure Agreement (Form SF312), Contract Security Classification Specification (Form DD254), and "TDP Classified Material Request Form" that are attached to this TDP notice. These classified documents will only be supplied on a CD/DVD that will be mailed separately. Only one copy of the classified CD/DVD per TDP section will be distributed per company.

Once the TDP, provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI), become available this synopsis will be amended to include information regarding the RFP.

CAUTION:  This solicitation will be issued electronically as will any amendments thereto. Because of this, the Government is under no obligation to maintain an offeror's mailing list.

IMPORTANT: In order to be considered for contract award, each company must have a SECRET facility clearance by the time of contract award; however, all offerors must be able to receive classified portions of the solicitation up to the SECRET level and must be a United States (US) company or an independent US subsidiary during the procurement. However, foreign contractors may act as subcontractors to U.S. prime contractors.

Access to the unclassified information involved in this TDP does not imply that foreign contractors can fully participate in this procurement. If your company intends to propose as a prime contractor, please email Mr. Ricardo Welsh (cc Renee' Brooks) immediately. No further information can be released until a favorable foreign disclosure decision is processed. If your company decides to team with a U.S. prime contractor, the export of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data is subject to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), 22 U.S.C. 2778-2780, and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, and requires the issuance of an export license by the U.S. Department of State.

Publishing the TDP does not restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition strategy. This information is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract. The information provided in the TDP prior to the RFP release is for informational purposes only and information contained in the competitive RFP will govern any future proposal submissions.

All comments/questions regarding TDP releases may be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Mr. Ricardo Welsh, email Ricardo.welsh@navy.mil (cc renee.brooks@navy.mil). Telephone inquiries will not be honored.
