Tomahawk ILS services for NUWCDIVNPT

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport issued solicitation N6660413Q3010 for Integrated Logistic Support technical and engineering services supporting the submarine-launched Tomahawk Weapon System Program. This requirement, governed by DOD Instruction 5000.2 and NAVSEAINST 5000.39, involves a short-term bridge contract spanning approximately 19 weeks from September 20, 2013, to January 31, 2014. The estimated award value is 149,000 dollars, with the primary objective of preventing schedule impacts while a follow-on award is competed via SeaPort-e. Due to the specialized nature of the work, the contract is designated as a sole source procurement for McLaughlin Research Corporation. This determination is based on the fact that MRC field services personnel are the only mechanical technicians possessing the required Conventional Ordnance Explosives certifications necessary for the loading, handling, and maintenance operations of the Tomahawk AUR within the required timeframe. The contractor is provided access to government facilities in Buildings 1371 and 123 in Newport, Rhode Island, as well as NMCI computer access and office equipment to execute the statement of work.
