The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure three MK 45 MOD 4 Gun Mounts complete with shields, gun barrels, data, provisioning, technical information, and provisioned items specifically for FY04 DDG-51 Class ships. This contract will be awarded through a sole source solicitation to United Defense, L.P., Armament Systems Division, which is identified as the sole designer, developer, and qualified producer of the MK 45 system. The contract provides an opportunity for subcontractors to engage by coordinating directly with United Defense. This procurement is issued under solicitation number N0002404R4305 as a presolicitation notice posted in February 2004. While limited details such as NAICS codes or specific agency information are not provided, the emphasis on a single-source award implies a specialized and critical nature of the product required for naval applications. Interested parties with relevant capabilities are encouraged to pursue subcontracting arrangements through United Defense to support this program.
