AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), supporting the Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (PEO C4I) Navy Command and Control Program Office, plans to issue a sole source ceiling increase to an existing contract with Raytheon Secure Information Systems for engineering services. These services will focus on Link-22 MLLC/LLC-7M integration and testing support during the integration phases of both the NILE Reference System and the NILE Nations System Network Controller. The planned period of performance for these services is approximately one year. Raytheon is uniquely qualified to provide this support as it is the sole source manufacturer of the KIV-7M cryptographic device, a critical component within the MLLC design. The KIV-7ML22, a modified version of this device with necessary software and hardware enhancements, is essential for full Link-22 capability. Given the proprietary nature of the technology and the lack of government licensing rights to the core software, only Raytheon can provide the specialized expertise required for ongoing development, integration, and testing. Although this notice indicates an intent to proceed with a sole source contract, the government invites any interested firms capable of meeting the requirements to express their interest within 15 calendar days. Responses after this period may not receive consideration, and all inquiries must be submitted in writing via email to the designated contracting officer. This notice is anticipatory and non-binding, and no payment will be made for information submitted.

Full Description

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in support of Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (PEO C4I) Navy Command and Control Program Office (PMW 150), intends to issue a sole source, ceiling increase to contract N00039-11-C-0039 with Raytheon Secure Information Systems, LLC of Torrance, CA, for engineering services to provide Link-22 MLLC/LLC-7M integration and testing support during both NILE Reference System (NRS) integration as well as NILE Nations System Network Controller (SNC) integration. The period of performance for these services is expected to be one year in duration. Raytheon is currently completing development of the MLLC, including the KIV-7ML22, a major hardware and software component of the MLLC and is the only cryptographic device that will work within the design of the MLLC. The KIV-7ML22 is the KIV-7M hardware modified with KIV-7ML22 nomenclature and any additional self-contained hardware and all Link 22-related software required to allow full-capability to operate within the MLLC. Raytheon is the sole source manufacturer of the KIV-7M itself, a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Type 1 NSA-certified device proprietary to Raytheon. The US Government does not have license rights to the core KIV-7M software used for the MLLC. Given the complex, unique, and highly specialized nature of the MLLC/LLC-7M technology, Raytheon is the only vendor capable of providing the support services that will be required during the integration and testing of the MLLC/LLC-7M and KIV-7M devices. Be advised that the aforementioned information is anticipatory in nature and is not binding. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any firm believing that they can fulfill the requirement of providing these services may be considered by the Agency. Interested parties shall identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis within 15 calendar days of publication, and must clearly demonstrate their ability to successfully fulfill the above requirements. The Government reserves the right not to respond to any expressions of interest received after 15 calendar days from the date of this publication; such expressions will be considered late. Any comments, questions or concerns regarding this notice may be submitted IN WRITING via e-mail to Karen Rainville, Contracting Officer at contact@example.gov. The Government will not pay for any information received. No telephone responses will be accepted.
