AN/BYG-1 Payload Control System

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS PUBLISHED FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. This notice is issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Undersea Warfare Systems, Submarine Combat and Weapons Control Program Office (PMS 425). PMS 425 seeks to identify possible sources interested in fulfilling the requirements to maintain, develop, integrate, and deliver AN/BYG-1 Payload Control features. The Payload Control System (PCS) is a subsystem of the AN/BYG-1. Software development requirements will include maintenance of existing and legacy baselines, integrating new payload features and containerization and migration of features to the Common Computing Environment (CCE). The AN/BYG-1 payload control features will deliver warfighting capability to the United States Navy, Royal Australian Navy, and Australia/UK/US (AUKUS) Joint Program Office submarine platform variants. This requirement may include the following efforts: Decouple AN/BYG-1 payload control features from hardware dependencies and transition hardware and infrastructure management to common infrastructure services (e.g., CCE) Containerize AN/BYG-1 payload control features Transition AN/BYG-1 payload control features to the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System CCE and/or Resiliency Computing Environment Conduct software development to maintain current AN/BYG-1 payload control features to include Tomahawk cruise missiles, Compact Rapid Attack Weapon, unmanned underwater vehicles, heavyweight torpedoes, unmanned aerial systems, and countermeasures Deliver incremental AN/BYG-1 payload control software builds every thirteen weeks Assist with the design and development of the payload control portion of the AUKUS submarine combat control system Deliver AN/BYG-1 payload control features to support future Technology Insertion (TI) baselines Apply agile, DevSecOps, and continuous integration/continuous deployment methodologies and processes to develop and deploy payload control features The AN/BYG-1 is an acquisition category III program of record. Information Requested: Provide examples of relevant history (last 5 years) to demonstrate your ability to meet the requirements below. The examples should clearly annotate your inherent experience to meet these requirements. Requirement 1 - Develop, test, and deliver unrestricted operational payload control software in less than thirteen weeks. In addition to your company specific examples of relevant history, illustrate how you would fulfill this requirement using heavyweight torpedo as an example. Requirement 2 - Develop and execute a payload control re-architecture plan to migrate all payload control features to the CCE within 24 months of contract award to support the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System Containerization and CCE Migration Roadmap. Requirement 3 - Containerize the Harpoon missile and Tomahawk Land Attack Missile payload control features and deliver to the CCE within 6 months of contract award. Address CCE ingest requirements, containerization process, and payload external interface requirements in your relevant history response to demonstrate your ability to meet payload containerization requirements. Requirement 4 - Integrate the Advanced Capability Advance Processor Build Six Mod 8 feature into the payload control portion of the AN/BYG-1 in accordance with the AN/BYG-1 Program Plan.
