FY21 TRIDENT Production and Deployed Systems Support

This Special Notice from the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs documents a pre-solicitation for the FY21 TRIDENT Production and Deployed Systems Support opportunity with no set-aside designated. The attached justification and approval supports awarding multiple contracts to Lockheed Martin Space LMS without full and open competition.

The justification cites the need for LMS to provide continued TRIDENT II missile production, engineering support, logistics, training, and facility support under the FY21 contract. The FY22 contract requires long lead material from LMS in support of the following year's missile production. As the sole provider of these services since program inception, LMS maintains the necessary expertise, facilities, tooling and equipment. Developing these capabilities elsewhere would significantly delay the program and cost $1.4 billion, demonstrating that only LMS is capable of meeting the government's requirements. The Special Notice documents this planned sole source award to the incumbent LMS prior to issuing the solicitation.
