Lwlcca hull array components

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command seeks proposals to provide Lightweight Low Cost Conformal Array (LwLCCA) hull array components and engineering services to support the LwLCCA system. Offerors must manufacture, assemble, inspect, test, package and deliver LwLCCA production shipsets comprising acoustic modules, outboard electronics, interface cables, fiber optic cables, and power cables. Proposals are due by April 17, 2020 and must address requirements for facility security clearance and cybersecurity compliance, with award expected shortly thereafter based on a fixed price incentive evaluation approach. Questions were due by March 26th.

No set-aside designation was used. Relevant NAICS codes include 334511 and 541715, with PSC codes related to sonar equipment at 2925 and engineering services at R425. Incumbent contractors include those involved in previous LwLCCA procurements. The period of performance extends through September 2026 involving delivery of 30 production shipsets over 4-month cycles beginning 15 months after award, along with associated engineering services, spare parts, and data deliverables valued at approximately $25M over the life of the contract to support LwLCCA integration on Navy vessels operating from the contractor's cleared facility.
