Tomahawk Block IV Production

The Tomahawk Block IV Production contract, N00019-09-C-0007, was awarded 31 March 2009 with a base year and two option years.

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a contract for Tomahawk Block IV Full Rate Production (FRP). The Navy intends to award a contract with one base year and two option years. Contract award is planned for the first quarter fiscal year 2009. This requirement includes the hardware manufacture of Canistered Surface Ship Capable, Encapsulated Submarine Torpedo-Tube Launched, and Encapsulated Submarine Vertical Launch Tomahawk Block IV All-Up-Round (AUR) missiles and related equipment and services. The contract may include hardware manufacturing and testing; sustaining engineering; Composite Capsule Launching System (CCLS) Capsules; SSGN compatible CCLS Retrofit Kits; Special Tooling and Special Test Equipment; procurement of Range Safety Systems and Flight Test Kits; Operational Test Launch (OTL) Flight Testing, Product Verification Testing and Functional Ground Testing; Guidance Test Set upgrades, support, maintenance and repair; refurbishment of containers and capsules; Government Furnished Equipment repair and upgrade; engineering and test support; various elements of logistics support; and Tomahawk Block IV training courses. NAVAIR intends to award this effort to Raytheon Missile Systems (RMS), P.O. Box 11337, Tucson, AZ 85734-1337. Since 1994, RMS has been the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer for the Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS). RMS solely possesses the current configuration and manufacturing data for the Tomahawk Block IV missile, and is the only source capable of meeting scheduled thresholds for Fleet load outs of the Tomahawk Block IV missile. Because a detailed knowledge and expertise of the Tomahawk Block IV missile is required to conduct tasking under this contract, RMS is the only source capable of accomplishing this requirement in the required timeframe and without duplication of costs.
