About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) intends to increase the ceiling on a previously awarded Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00174-23-G-0001 to support the MK 38 MOD 3 Machine Gun Systems (MGS). The procurement includes open, inspect and repair efforts, engineering services, Linux operating system upgrades, Mod2 to Mod3 conversion kits and associated hardware, and spares for the weapon system. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under 10 USC 2304(C)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements. BAE Systems of Minneapolis, Minnesota is identified as the sole source supplier due to their teaming agreement with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Ltd., the original manufacturer of the MK 38. Interested sources must respond by June 20, 2025, providing organizational details, contact information, business size, identification numbers, and a summary of company capabilities, though this is not an invitation for competitive proposals.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing). BAE Systems is the incumbent contractor and identified sole source provider, as they possess the exclusive facility to assemble, repair, and overhaul the gun mount and subassemblies for the MK 38 system. The government emphasizes that BAE Systems is the only source capable of providing the required gun system components and services due to their proprietary relationship with the original equipment manufacturer. The notice explicitly states this is not a competitive procurement and no solicitation will be issued, though the government reserves the right to consider all responses received. The procurement falls under PSC code 1005 for guns through 30mm, and the government notes that all information provided is subject to change and does not bind them to any future contract award.
