The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a sole source multiple contractual actions against the existing contract (N00024-04-C-6207), to procure additional systems to support the Acoustic Rapid Action Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (A-RCI) program, including Virginia Class, SSN688, SSN688I, SSN21, SSBN 726,and SSGN Submarines; associated spares and kits; and related engineering and technical efforts to design, develop improvements, and other requirements to transition Advanced Processor Builds (APBs) into their specific platforms environments, including trainers and shore based facilities. A-RCI is a sonar system that integrates and improves towed array, hull array, sphere array, and other ship sensor processing, through rapid insertion of COTS based hardware and software. The period of performance for this effort is three (3) years (consistent with the period of performance for FY06 through FY08 efforts under current contract N00024-04-C-6207). This r! equirement will be solicited sole source from Lockheed Martin Corporation, Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) in Manassas, Virginia, which is the current producer of A-RCI system. MS2 developed the technology for A-RCI under contract N00024-95-C-6535 and is the only source with the requisite knowledge of the A-RCI system design, hardware, support equipment, technical experience, and resources necessary to meet the Government's needs in a timely manner. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin directly. This notice is for informational purposes only. See Numbered Note 22.
