NOTICE OF CHANGE (NOC) 8 and NOC 12

The contract involves the performance of additional 842 Integration and Horizontal testing as a risk mitigation measure for the initial deployment of the MOD 7 Software product to the UK. Since the 842 testing is being conducted in parallel with the 944 Final Qualification Testing (FQT) rather than following the completion of FQT as originally planned, a more robust testing effort is required to ensure quality and reliability. The contractor engaged for this task will be General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS) located in Pittsfield, MA, as they are the sole manufacturer and possess the essential in-depth knowledge and capabilities related to the TRIDENT (II) D5 Strategic Weapon System Fire Control and Attack Weapons Control Systems. The contract is identified under the solicitation number N00030-09-G-0013X709 and is titled NOTICE OF CHANGE (NOC) 8 and NOC 12. It falls under the NAICS code 541330 and is currently in the presolicitation phase, with administrative contracting officer Linda M. Haggerty serving as the point of contact. This arrangement reflects the critical nature of ensuring the integration and testing phases are enhanced to address potential risks posed by the adjusted sequencing of the testing phases, emphasizing the contractor’s unique technical expertise as the sole source for these systems.
