The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) issued a Sources Sought notice (N00164-26-S-NB70) on May 7, 2026, seeking industry capabilities for engineering services and supplies to support the sustainment, upgrades, and repair of the AN/SPY-1 radar system integral to the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS). This effort encompasses support for both U.S. and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) platforms, including Navy new ship construction, Land Based Test Sites (LBTS), AEGIS Fleet, and AEGIS Ashore platforms. The NSWC Crane plans to award Job Order 0001 off a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), previously announced (N0016426SNB16), on a sole-source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (CAGE 02769), citing statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1. The current notice serves as market research to identify other capable contractors and assess potential small business participation either as primes or subcontractors. No funding is currently available, and this notice is not a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements including company information, small business status per FAR Part 19, and a white paper (limited to 5 pages) along with any relevant product literature, performance parameters, prior testing summaries, budget estimates, and production capacity data. Respondents are also encouraged to provide rationale supporting competitive procurement or reasons why sole-source acquisition to Lockheed Martin is justified or should be challenged. Responses must be received by May 22, 2026, 2:00 PM EST, via email to designated points of contact at NSWC Crane. Submissions must not include classified information and responders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The government will safeguard proprietary information but will not reimburse costs associated with responses. While no formal evaluation factors or contract clauses apply at this stage, this market survey supports planning for a future non-competitive IDIQ contract vehicle to provide engineering services and supplies critical to sustaining the AEGIS Weapon System's radar components and ancillary equipment, with an expected performance location at Crane, Indiana.
