Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought (SS) to gather insights on engineering services and supplies necessary for the sustainment and enhancement of the AEGIS Weapon System and AN/SPY Radar Signal Processor. This initiative aims to explore alternatives to a sole-source award to Lockheed Martin for a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), which is being considered due to concerns over substantial duplication of costs and potential delays associated with competitive procurement. Interested contractors are invited to submit capability statements, product literature, and white papers to challenge the sole-source justification, with responses due by December 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Kathryn Muessig at Kathryn.m.muessig.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 812-381-7158.

    The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division has issued a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought (SS) (N00164-26-S-NB16) to gather information for engineering services and supplies supporting the AEGIS Weapon System and AN/SPY Radar Signal Processor. This is not a solicitation for proposals, but rather an effort to potentially mitigate a sole-source award to Lockheed Martin for a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The government intends to award this BOA to Lockheed Martin due to anticipated substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays if a competitive procurement were pursued. The RFI/SS seeks capability statements, product literature, white papers (max 5 pages), and other pertinent information from contractors to challenge the sole-source basis. Responses should include contractor details (name, address, business size, POC, phone) and reference the announcement number. All interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). No funding is available for responses, and costs incurred will not be reimbursed. Submittals should not contain classified information and will be safeguarded if proprietary. The closing date for responses is December 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST (EDT).
