RFI - AEGIS Combat System Support Equipment, Electronic Equipment Fluid Cooler, AN/SPY Radar Warhead Data Receiver Cabinets (WDRC)

Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) is seeking potential sources with the capability to support the engineering and/or production of the USN's future AN/SPY radar Warhead Data Receiver Cabinets (WDRC) in support of the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Kill Assessment System (KAS) 5.1 for Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) capability, AEGIS Combat System Support Equipment (ACSSE), and Electronic Equipment Fluid Cooler (EEFCs) to support FY 2026 through FY 2030 requirements. Note: Interested parties may only submit one response to this RFI regardless of whether its response expresses interest in one of the requirements or all of the requirements (WDRC, ACSSE, and EEFC) listed above. Interested sources may receive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to support your RFI response. Additionally, NAVSEA anticipates holding an industry day for these requirements that will be annouced via a separate sam.gov annoucement. Interested parties should identify whether they are interested in attending an industry day in its response to this RFI. The scope of this RFI includes: 1. Production of WDRC equipment, which consists of two (2) cabinets per ship, ancillary equipment, and spares. 2. Production of shipsets of ACSSE Equipment, consisting of Maintenance Assist Modules (MAMs) storage cabinets, and various pieces of equipment such as panels, switches, and cabling. 3. Production of EEFCs, where there are 50 and 100 Gallon Per Minute (GPM) variants, which consists of up to (4) water coolers per ship (depending on ship configuration). 4. Engineering support to update and maintain the Level 3 Technical Data Package (TDP) as defined in MIL-STD-31000B. 5. Maintaining an Engineering test facility, consisting of an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielded , controlled, filtered electronic cooling system with capacity to cool multiple systems, and capability of handling classified and Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment and support to conduct WDRC system level testing. This is shipboard tactical equipment, which meets Navy Surface Ship Environmental Qualification Requirements (to include MIL-STD-901D shock, MIL-STD-167 vibration and MIL-STD-461 EMI) for installation aboard U.S. and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) ships. The Government anticipates a majority of the work to be performed at the contractor's site. Interested parties shall address the following in the RFI submission: Cover Page - Company Information Provide company name, address, Unique Entity Identifier, CAGE code, tax identification number, designated representative name(s) and point of contact, including phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Engineering Support to define and update TDP Describe the company's capabilities and experience in providing engineering support for developing and updating TDPs, with specific emphasis on current and future tactical processing in a complex weapon system. The contractor will periodically update/maintain the Level 3 (Production Level) WDRC, ACSSE, and/or EEFC TDPs, as defined in MIL-STD-31000B, to address production component obsolescence. The Navy is interested in the company's analytical and documentation process for TDPs. Production Capacity Interested parties shall provide evidence of its ability to produce quantities at the required rate and provide a plan for producing the maximum quantities. A throughput capacity of up to six (6) WDRC shipsets, up to six (6) shipsets of ACSSE equipment, and/or six (6) EEFC shipsets per year is anticipated. The EEFCs System require delivery dates are twenty-four (24) months after award including all factory level system testing, the ACSSE required delivery dates are twelve (12) months after award and the WDRC System's required delivery dates are twenty-two (22) months after award. Barriers to Competition Please identify any obstacles to competition to include whether these requirements should be procured under one contract. If delivery schedule is an issue, please advise any GFP or what delivery schedule your firm could deliver to. In addition, the company should recommend solutions or mitigation paths for the Navy to overcome the obstacles. Firms are encouraged to discuss any potential financial/internal concerns it would have that could be a potential barrier to entry.
