The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a competitive solicitation numbered N00024-22-R-6132, for a Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Cost type contract, to provide engineering design development and production of  Technology Insertion (TI)-24 and TI-26 Total Ship Monitoring System (TSMS) hardware and software systems, technical insertion kits, trainers, and associated spares in support of the Acoustic - Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) upgrades for LOS ANGELES, VIRGINIA, and COLUMBIA class submarines. The procurement will also include engineering design development, production, installation support, in-service support, and partial technology enhancements such as server/hard drive updates and infrastructure baselines such as switches and infrastructure cablings, as needed, in support of Fleet requirements for software and/or hardware production improvements on TSMS systems or upgrade kits.

The proposed contract will include approximately 512,000 man-hours of engineering design development and technical support.  In addition to the three (3) Engineering Development Models (EDMs) in FY23, the production procurement will include the following shipset quantities: nine (9) in FY24; eleven (11) in FY25; fourteen (14) in FY26; fourteen (14) in FY27; and twelve (12) in FY28.

TSMS provides the upgraded signal processing capability and hardware on LOS ANGELES, VIRGINIA and COLUMBIA Class submarines, to monitor and localize own ship’s noise sources including transients. TSMS is a subsystem of the AN/BQQ-10 Submarine Acoustic – Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) Program. 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  Commercial Off-The-Self (COTS) based hardware and software. The period of performance for this effort is seven (7) years, one (1) base year and (6) option years, from FY23 through FY29.
