The Industry Day presentation outlines the Technology Insertion Hardware (TIH) 28/30/32 procurement, aiming to modernize submarine combat systems for the USN and Royal Australian Navy. This initiative seeks to standardize technology updates, minimize obsolescence, and achieve cost savings through rapid COTS insertion. The procurement will be a full and open competition, resulting in a 9-year IDIQ contract with CPIF for engineering and FPI for production. The projected RFP release is December 2025, with an anticipated contract award in Spring 2027. The presentation also details the SWFTS Re-architecture, emphasizing commonality and decoupling hardware from software to accelerate capability fielding. Draft RFP sections, including evaluation criteria and sample task requirements, were provided for industry feedback.
The Industry Day briefing for Technology Insertion Hardware (TIH) 28/30/32 outlined a full and open competition for an IDIQ contract, aiming to procure the latest generation hardware for Team Submarine platforms. This initiative supports the Rapid COTS Insertion (RCI) goals of maintaining technological pace, minimizing obsolescence, and standardizing updates for the USN and Royal Australian Navy submarine fleets. The procurement will cover computer processing, memory, data storage, and I/O interfaces, with anticipated components including upgrade kits, enclosures, and full-up systems for various submarine classes. The contract type is an IDIQ with CPIF for engineering services and CPIF/FPI for hardware production, with a projected nine-year period of performance. The RFP is expected in November 2025, with an award in Spring 2027. The PEO UWS Technology Insertion process, including the SWFTS Re-architecture, aims to decouple hardware and software for quicker modernization and capability fielding.
The document addresses key questions related to a government contract, likely an RFP or similar solicitation, focusing on engineering support, prime contractors, and fee structures. The government confirms that Field Engineering (FE) install support for both new and existing platforms will be part of this contract, including provisions for addressing design discrepancies during installation. While encouraging all interested contractors to propose, the government currently does not plan to separate requirement elements for small business set-asides but encourages small businesses to participate as subcontractors or primes. The government is open to considering an incentive fee structure based on delivery schedule, departing from the cost-based structure used in a previous solicitation (TI-26), and invites suggestions for such a model. Leonardo DRS is identified as the current prime contractor for this contract.
