The submitted RFI for the Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) outlines the engineering and technical services required for the development, implementation, and maintenance of ICAS technologies used on U.S. Navy vessels. The purpose of ICAS is to facilitate automated monitoring and maintenance based on real-time data across various ship systems, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. ICAS comprises a software shell and a configuration data set tailored for each vessel, enabling the tracking and analysis of over 5,000 machinery parameters in real-time.
Key contractor responsibilities include providing full-spectrum In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) support, troubleshooting system issues, configuring software, and ensuring compliance with cybersecurity protocols. The contractor must also develop training materials, maintain logistics documentation, and execute system verification and validation activities.
Overall, the ICAS RFI aims to ensure that these advanced monitoring systems are reliably managed and enhanced throughout their lifecycle, emphasizing the Navy's commitment to leveraging technology for improved maritime operations and maintenance practices.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to solicit information from potential providers for the Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS). The objective is to identify suppliers capable of delivering comprehensive engineering and technical services for the development, modernization, deployment, and life cycle maintenance of ICAS. Key requirements include providing in-service engineering support, software component management, cybersecurity support, configuration management, and establishing a development and test facility. This solicitation marks a first-time procurement, with the anticipated contract type and performance period to be determined based on market research. Interested companies are invited to submit white papers detailing their qualifications, corporate descriptions, and past performance aligned with the project scope. The response deadline is 13 March 2025, and all submissions will contribute to market research without financial compensation for respondents. The ultimate purpose of this RFI is to gather insights for planning and does not constitute a procurement commitment.
