The Department of Defense (DoD) is initiating a development effort to counter the long-term, worldwide IED threat. The Naval Sea Systems Command is planning to execute procurements to address these combined threats. The acquisition strategy is to maintain competition through the development phase by awarding one or more development contracts. Each development contract will require design, develop, and fabrication of a system of systems including an integrated approach for test man-portable (dismounted), vehicle mounted (mounted), fixed site, and coalition partner Counter-RCIED Electronic Warfare (CREW) capabilities. By incorporating technical advances over the existing CREW systems, these contracts will demonstrate the next generation of an integrated CREW, system of systems. The Government anticipates awarding one or more contracts on or about the 1st Quarter FY09 with initial delivery planned for on or about 2nd Quarter FY12. The DoD will provide specific details of the acquisition strategies during the industry day on 4 December 2007. The information provided is for information only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a contract or order. The Government will not pay for any effort expended or any material provided in response to this announcement nor will the Government return any data provided.
