FY 18 AEGIS MODERNIZATION (AMOD)

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to utilize other than full and open competition to contract with Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (Lockheed Martin RMS) in Moorestown, New Jersey, for the procurement and cabinet level testing of fiscal year 2018 Aegis Weapon System (AWS) Modernization (AMOD) requirements for the Aegis Fleet, Ballistic Missile Defense Baseline (BMD) 4.0.2 equipment suites, Multi-Mission Signal Processors (MMSPs), MK 6 Mod 0 AEGIS AMOD Upgrade (AAU) equipment, Baseline 5.1 Warhead Data Recording Cabinets (WDRCs), and Combat System Support Equipment (CSSE). The contract for FY 18 requirements will be awarded as a modification to N00024-14-C-5106 and contract award will occur in FY18 in order to support AEGIS Fleet availabilities in FY 2020. The anticipated contract action will provide for the production, test, and delivery of one (1) BMD 4.0.2 equipment set, three (3) MMSPs, three (3) MK 6 Mod 0 AAU ship sets, and three (3) WDRCs for DDGs 85, 87, and 92 and two (2) CSSE ship sets for new construction DDGs. There exists a strong probability that procurement actions earmarked for specific DDGs may change as ship schedules and availabilities change. Lockheed Martin RMS is the prime contractor for MMSP and BMD 4.0.2 development efforts, as well as the prime contractor for AWS production.
