About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, through the Advanced Propulsor Management Office at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, is seeking to procure VIRGINIA Class Forward Subassemblies for FY26-FY27 submarine boats, along with advanced propulsor hardware, equipment, materials, and engineering-related services. The resultant contract will utilize a combination of Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract types. This is being conducted as a sole-source procurement under FAR 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, meaning competitive evaluation criteria are not applicable as the award will be made to a single pre-determined contractor. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 21, 2026, with a response deadline of January 28, 2026, though this notice is explicitly stated as not being a request for proposal and proposals submitted will not be accepted. The anticipated issuance of the formal solicitation is scheduled for February 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations for small businesses or other protected categories. BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P. has been identified as the sole-source recipient for this contract award. The notice does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges for this procurement. No quantity specifications or detailed service timelines are provided in this pre-solicitation notice, though the work scope encompasses manufacturing and delivery activities for multiple VIRGINIA Class boats across the FY26-FY27 period. Given the sole-source nature of this procurement, interested parties outside of the designated contractor should note that this opportunity is not available for competitive bidding.
