10--ADC MK 3/4 MOD 1

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to extend its current Firm Fixed Price contract with BAE Systems Incorporated for the Acoustic Device, Countermeasure ADC MK 3/4 Program by one year, with two additional option years available. BAE Systems is the sole designer, developer, and supplier of this program, making them the only contractor with the necessary technical expertise and data to fulfill the government’s inventory and delivery needs in the near term. This contract extension supports ongoing production efforts critical to the program’s requirements. The contract continuation reflects a sole source acquisition due to BAE Systems’ unique position as the exclusive provider of the ADC MK 3/4 system, ensuring uninterrupted supply and maintenance of the acoustic countermeasure devices. The solicitation remains a presolicitation notice, indicating the government’s intent but not yet the final contract action, and serves primarily to inform interested parties. No set-aside or additional competitive procurement details are provided, underscoring the proprietary nature of the work and the specialized capability held by BAE Systems.
