The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a contract for the Sea Shrike System design, development, Engineering Services, and prototype production for VIRGINIA BLK V submarines to NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION in Sunnyvale, CA using other than full and open competition pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The Sea Shrike System consists of the Advanced Payload Module (APM) Modification Kit, Capsule Launch System (CLS), and the All-Up Round (AUR). NGC will provide systems engineering to design, development, and prototyping of the APM Modification Kit, CLS, and AUR. In addition, any required special tooling or handling gear, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) documentation, as well as support integration onto the platform.
