    63826 DF Consolidation RMH - Redacted.pdf
    The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Determination and Findings to consolidate contract requirements for the Remote Minehunting (RMH) Module. This consolidation, planned for Fiscal Year 2026, will combine the production of the RMH Module, associated engineering support, and spares into a single competitive supply contract with an estimated five-year duration. The RMH Module, replacing the AN/AQS-20 system, comprises a Towed Body, Payload Delivery System, and associated software. Currently, these components are procured through four separate sole-source contracts. Market research indicates that consolidation will not negatively impact small businesses and may increase their participation through full and open competition. This strategy was chosen over alternatives like awarding separate sole-source or competitive contracts to avoid integration complexities and costs. Benefits of consolidation include integration efficiencies, improved configuration control, and streamlined systems engineering, ultimately accelerating deliveries to the Fleet by FY29.
