The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, seeks industry input for a critical US Navy project. They require new manufacturing capabilities for the AN/SPG-62 Reflector, a key component in the MK-99 Fire Control System used in the Navy's Aegis Weapons System.
This opportunity falls under the NAICS code 334511 for specialized manufacturing and PSC 5985 for antennas and waveguides. Companies with expertise in these areas should have the capacity to manufacture these specialized reflectors, adhering to stringent technical specifications and quality standards. The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the comprehensive requirements for production, delivery, and quality assurance.
Interested parties should have an ISO 9001-2015 certified quality management program and the ability to concurrently produce these reflectors. Additionally, they must be willing to adhere to strict guidelines on counterfeit parts prevention and government-furnished equipment. The government will provide some equipment and maintain ownership of it throughout the contract period.
This potential contract, planned as an IDIQ type, has an estimated duration of five years and includes Foreign Military Sales. Respondents should have the capabilities, experience, and resources to fulfill this requirement and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) to receive further documents.
The government emphasizes that this is a sources sought announcement, indicating no funding availability at this stage. It is primarily intended for market research and information gathering. Responses are due by 12 August 2024, and any costs incurred by companies in preparing their submissions will not be reimbursed.
For clarity, interested parties should contact Ragan Gaskill at the NSWC Crane Contracting Division, using the provided email and phone number. Further details, including the DRAFT SOW, can be found in the attached file.
