DDG-51 Ship Class Integrated Bridge and Navigation System Engineering Change

The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to procure engineering changes to the DDG-51 Ship Class Integrated Bridge and Navigation System (IBNS) on a sole source basis from Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, 1070 Seminole Trail Road, Charlottesville, VA 22901-2827, under current production contract N00024-19-C-4101. The contract scope changes will include modifications to the performance specification, including the addition of a physical throttle to the Ship Control Console in each IBNS shipset. The added scope will also include the requirement to provide 54 throttle kits for IBNS shipsets previously delivered. It is anticipated that the modification will be awarded around 30 May 2019, with performance concluding four years thereafter. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The consideration of alternate sources for this requirement would result in an unacceptable delay for the source to become familiar with the hardware developed under the contract to date, and that would significantly impact the delivery schedule. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunites should contact Northrop Grumman directly. All inquiries should be e-mailed to Tara Borntreger at tara.borntreger@navy.mil.
