About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy, via the Naval Sea Systems Command on behalf of the Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants, is seeking industry feedback on technical specifications and questions regarding the potential future solicitation for the Detail Design and Construction of the Large Unmanned Surface Vessel program. Responses to the Request for Information are due by March 18, 2024. The LUSV is intended to support Distributed Maritime Operations as an adjunct missile magazine and provide strike and anti-surface warfare capabilities while operating with carrier and expeditionary strike groups.
There is no set-aside designation for this potential opportunity. It is anticipated that the primary NAICS code would be 336611 and PSC code would be J998 for shipbuilding and repair services. Interested parties must request access to the secure bidder's library containing controlled technical data by providing company information to the listed points of contact in order to develop questions and responses regarding LUSV specifications, though this RFI does not constitute a solicitation and failure to respond does not preclude participation in any future solicitation.
