About this program

The Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) operating under the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation. The program appears to be focused on ship defense capabilities, though specific mission objectives are not detailed in the provided data. The program maintains active contract vehicles for both hardware components and support services.

Contract awards from 2007-2011 show a mix of hardware procurement and program support services, with individual awards ranging from approximately $94,000 to $3.3 million. Hardware components procured include synthesizers, RF amplifiers, and CFC high assemblies for the AN/SPQ-9B system, typically awarded as firm fixed price delivery orders. Program support services were predominantly executed through Time and Materials delivery orders under contract N0018907D0104. None of the contracts utilized set-aside designations. The Navy appears to be the primary contracting authority, with most awards issued through N-prefixed contract vehicles, though one significant Army contract (W15P7T) for airborne systems integration was also present. Specific contractor names are not provided in the available data.
