The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a solicitation to Raytheon Company (RMS) of Tucson, AZ, 1151 East Hermans Road, Tucson, AZ 85756-9367 for procurement, on a sole source basis, of requirements for FY10 with options for FY11, and options for potentially emerging requirements for both FY10 and FY11, for the following supplies and services: MK 15 CIWS Phalanx Block 1B Baseline 2 upgrade kits and conversions, MK 15 Mod 29 CIWS Land-Based Phalanx Weapon Systems (LPWS) systems, MK 15 Mod 31 CIWS SeaRAM upgrades and conversions, MK 15 CIWS hardware product improvements, MK 15 CIWS ancillary equipment/reliability spares (to include associated Peculiar Support Equipment, Common Support Equipment, gun tools, initial outfitting spares, environmental equipment, flat bed trailers), and MK 15 CIWS Class A overhauls. RMS is the only qualified domestic producer of MK 15 Phalanx, LPWS and SeaRAM Close-In Weapon Systems and is the only source known to possess the requisite knowledge and expertise to meet DoD requirements. MK 15 CIWS is highly complex and would require substantial investment in time and money to qualify additional sources. Please address questions concerning subcontracting opportunities to RMS.
