10--MK 110 57mm Gun Mount

The Naval Sea Systems Command requires the production of MK 110, 57mm gun mounts for installation on the first two DDG 1000 class ships, as well as two additional MK 110, 57mm gun mounts for Coast Guard Cutters WMSL-752 and WMSL-753. The procurement will be exclusively solicited from BAE Systems, the sole designer and developer of the MK 110 gun mount, under a sole-source contract authority. This ensures that no other suppliers or services will meet the agency’s requirements. Interested parties seeking subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact BAE Systems directly. The contract notice was posted on June 25, 2007, on both the Federal Business Opportunities website and the Navy Electronic Commerce Online platform to provide access to relevant information. The dual posting is to ensure continuous availability even if one system becomes inaccessible. This procurement follows U.S. Code 2304(c)(1), which allows for a sole-source award when only one responsible source can fulfill the need. Specific details regarding the solicitation include that it is a presolicitation stage, and no set-aside or particular NAICS code applies. The primary focus is to equip the designated naval and coast guard vessels with the advanced MK 110 57mm gun mount systems.
