The award of this effort is expected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.  

 The requirement is for technical review, evaluation and support for the integration of the Tomahawk Block IV All-Up-Round (AUR) with the VIRGINIA Payload Module (VPM), as part of the Block V, VIRGINIA Class Submarine.
