This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes.  This is NOT a Request for Proposal.  The intent of this RFI is to assist Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in conducting market research.  NAVAIR is requesting information regarding the procurement of a minimum of seventy-five (75) LAU-115D/A missile launchers, part number 3929AS100, a minimum of eighty (80) LAU-116B/A missile launchers part number 3930AS100-1 (left hand), 3930AS100-2 (right hand), and a minimum of fifty-four (54) LAU-118 A/A missile launchers, part number 704AS4169-1, for the United States Navy (USN).  There is potential for up to an additional 114 LAU-115D/A missile launchers, 102 LAU116B/A missile launchers, and 51 LAU-118 A/A missile launchers if pending Foreign Military Sales (FMS) procurements occur after USN efforts are on contract.
