AI Contract Overview

This contract involves a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-14-C4022 awarded to The Boeing Company by SSC Pacific on behalf of DARPA's Tactical Technology Office. Initially established in July 2014 for a one-year performance period, the contract supports the development of a below-water payload designed to integrate with the Hydra concept—a system focused on deploying and supporting undersea vehicles. The undersea payload is intended to fit within a modular enclosure compatible with several standard undersea vehicles and is designed to enhance energy provisioning, data transmission, and vehicle launch and docking processes. Emphasis is placed on safely transporting these vehicles and optimizing operational endurance rather than focusing on individual mission profiles. The current modification aims to explore innovations in delivering unmanned underwater vehicles using extra-large modular enclosures, including integrated approaches to improve platform placement, ingress and egress capabilities, and operational sustainability. This includes cost-effective reuse of the Hydra enclosure and its remaining assets, as well as enhanced maintenance options. The increase in contract ceiling by approximately $198,589 reflects ongoing research and development efforts that have achieved significant breakthroughs, with potential for transition into warfighter applications. The notice is posted as informational, not a solicitation, and invites comments from interested parties within a 15-day period, with final discretion on competition held by the government.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-14-C4022 to The Boeing Company (Boeing), awarded by SSC Pacific on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Tactical Technology Office (DARPA/TTO) on 15 July 2014 for a performance period of one (1) years. The effort under the contract leverages previous DARPA/TTO projects to design and develop a below-water payload suitable for use of the Hydra concept. The Undersea Payload is envisioned to consist of an undersea payload module that fits into the modular enclosure with a small number of standard undersea vehicles suitable for one or more of the missions described in the export controlled annex. In contrast to the air vehicle payload, less emphasis is placed on individual missions for the undersea vehicle. The Hydra focus will be on safely transporting existing undersea vehicles, providing the required energy for long endurance, efficiently transferring energy, transferring and transmitting collected information, and launching and docking the vehicles. This contract modification means to explore the benefits of both extra large unmanned underwater vehicle (XL UUV) Modular Enclosure (ME) delivery concepts and integrated ME and XL-UUV approaches for Hydra as alternatives to provide additional ingress and egress capabilities, improvements in mission-specific platform placement, cost-effective reusability of the Hydra enclosure and its unspent assets, and enhanced operations and maintenance options. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712. Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA could not have reasonably estimated the results of the research from this program, which has seen breakthroughs that will benefit from continued trials under this current contract. It is expected that the technology will transition for use by the warfighter. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $198,589. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes and will be posted for 15 days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Veronica Cardoso, Code 22530, SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific who may be reached by telephone at +1 (555) 000-0000 or via email to contact@example.gov.
