______________________________________________

This posting is related to the N00024-25-R-6312 for Littoral Combat Ship Mission Module (LCS MM) De, Engineering, Production, and Sustainment (DEPS) Industry Day and N00024-25-R-6311 for LCS MM DEPS Request for Information and Industry Day notices. 

The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue two (2) full-and-open, competitive solicitations pursuant to FAR Part 15 procedures in the third quarter (Q3) of fiscal year 2025 (FY25) for the LCS MM Program; specifically, one (1) contract vehicle for LCS Mission Modules (MM) Hardware Production and one (1) contract vehicle for LCS MM and Small Unmanned Surface Vessel (sUSV) Operations and Sustainment (O&S) Support.  

LCS MMs support the LCS fleet in its mission to defeat asymmetric threats and to ensure naval and joint force access into congested littoral regions.  The LCS MM Program has employed an incremental development approach to deliver capabilities, allowing for insertion of mature capabilities throughout the life of the program without the need for modifications to the LCS seaframe. The LCS MM Program is also the integrator of separately procured MM equipment (e.g., berthing augmentation, gun and missile weapon systems, mine countermeasures payload delivery systems, etc.) and sUSVs (e.g. interceptors, maritime domain awareness, logistics, etc.).  LCS MM Program product lines make use of common support containers, designs for which are based upon an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-compliant shipping container (i.e., Conex box) to preserve anonymity and provide “roll on, roll off” capabilities for LCS seaframe and sUSV primary mission sets. 

This pre-solicitation synopsis is issued by the NAVSEA Contracts Directorate (SEA 02), and the LCS MM Program Office (PMS 420) has provided one (1) draft Statement of Work (SOW) for LCS MM Hardware Production and one (1) draft SOW for LCS MM and sUSV O&S Support (ATTACHMENTS 1 & 2).  Respondents may elect to respond to either the draft Hardware Production SOW, the draft O&S Support SOW, or both draft SOWs. Pursuant to FAR 15.201(c), the primary purposes of this pre-solicitation synopsis are to improve small business access to acquisition information and to enhance competition by identifying contracting and subcontracting opportunities. Further, and pursuant to FAR 15.201(c), this pre-solicitation synopsis is issued for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as to promote competition.  

This pre-solicitation synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or the information provided in response to this notice. The Government may or may not respond to questions or comments submitted. The Government may use information and feedback provided by respondents to inform future solicitation(s) as necessary. Respondents are solely responsible for properly marking and clearly identifying any proprietary information or trade secrets contained within a response. 

All questions and comments shall be submitted electronically via email to the following POCs no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 15, 2025. Respondents shall submit questions and comments using the template provided as an ATTACHMENT 3 to this notice. NAVSEA will ONLY accept unclassified responses. Respondents shall respond to the points of contact (POC) listed in this notice for the specific draft SOW to which a response is being provided.

If a solicitation or multiple solicitations are released, NAVSEA will issue any formal solicitation associated with this notice electronically via the official Government-wide point of entry, the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov/.
