About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) for the Amphibious Assault Ship (LHA 10) Machinery Control System (MCS). The MCS will provide comprehensive remote monitoring and control capabilities for the ship's propulsion, electrical, and auxiliary systems, integrating over 8,000 signals across multiple shipboard control components. Vendors are requested to provide insights into their experience developing naval MCS systems, potential design challenges, schedule capabilities, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. The RFI requires responses by April 4, 2025, to be submitted via email to specific Navy contacts. Technical requirements mandate that the MCS include machinery control consoles, remote monitoring units, electric plant controllers, data acquisition units, and logging units, with strict adherence to networking, software development, control transfer protocols, and human-machine interface specifications.
The contract opportunity is not designated with a specific set-aside and is currently associated with Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (Ingalls Shipbuilding) in Pascagoula, MS, where ship fabrication is planned to start in December 2026. Key timeline milestones include hardware design information delivery by December 2026, hardware delivery by December 2028, and software delivery by December 2030. The MCS must be developed following Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 processes and will undergo extensive factory testing, including first article tests, integration testing, and quality conformance testing. While specific award values are not disclosed, the project involves complex naval shipboard system development with rigorous technical requirements, including compliance with military standards for shock, vibration, EMI/EMC, and environmental conditions. The system must also include an On-Board Trainer (OBT) capability for crew training through software simulation.
