About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) has published a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems for Tomahawk flight test support services. This special notice, posted on September 5, 2025, specifically targets integration, operations, and field support for Tomahawk launcher and command and control systems. The contract opportunity falls under the guided missile technical services category and is classified as a sources sought notice for market research purposes only. The Army has determined that Lockheed Martin RMS is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. This notice is not a request for proposals but rather an advance notification of the government's intent to proceed with sole-source procurement.
The primary objective is to conduct integration, operations, and field support of a Tomahawk weapon system that requires operating the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS). Interested parties have until September 19, 2025, to respond, though the government emphasizes this is strictly for planning purposes and will not reimburse respondents for any costs. Contractors would need to demonstrate technical capability, corporate knowledge, and experience in providing comprehensive technical expertise for Tomahawk system integration and operations. The Army specifically requires verification of the Tomahawk system through existing emulators and simulators to complete system checkouts. Only Lockheed Martin RMS possesses the necessary engineering expertise to conduct a Tomahawk live fire demonstration within ten months from a prototype launch platform, having developed key components including launcher control units, environmental control units, and TTWCS.
