To qualify, applicants must meet specific TSA Detection Standards (DS 5.0, 6.2, or 6.3) and demonstrate capabilities based on the ETD Functional Requirements Document Version 2.0. The qualification path involves several milestones, including the submission of Certification Data Packages (CDP) and Qualification Data Packages (QDP), system testing, and the successful completion of Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Placement on the QPL requires approval from the Component Acquisition Executive but does not guarantee a future contract award. Applicants are responsible for all costs associated with the process and must provide at least six production representative systems for testing. Strict security protocols are in place, requiring the designation of a Senior Official and the execution of TSA Form 2815 for access to Sensitive Security Information (SSI), which is limited to ten employees. Submissions must comply with the Buy American Act and applicable Trade Agreements. Key deadlines include the QDP submission by April 30, 2027, and specific timelines for CDP submissions and SSI access requests.

AN/SPY-6(V) Production RFI/Sources Sought

Solicitation # N00024-25-R-5510

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems Above Water Sensors Directorate (PEO IWS 2.0), is conducting a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) for the production and support of the AN/SPY-6(V) family of radars. These radar variants include the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) for DDG-51 Flight III (AN/SPY-6(V)1), Backfit radar for DDG-51 Flight IIA (AN/SPY-6(V)4), Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) Rotator (AN/SPY-6(V)2), and EASR Fixed Face (AN/SPY-6(V)3). The procurement is planned as a multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with deliveries extending from FY27 through FY35, including potential Foreign Military Sales (FMS) volumes. The contract scope centers on producing these complex radar systems built on modular hardware line replaceable units (LRUs) under a build-to-print approach, where fabrication adheres strictly to detailed Technical Data Packages (TDPs), with allowances for obsolescence resolution and lifecycle cost reduction. The Government is seeking industry feedback to refine its acquisition strategy, including interest and capability to produce specific radar subsystems such as Digital Receiver/Exciter LRUs, Transmit/Receive Integrated Microwave Module LRUs, and Prime Power Equipment subsystems, as well as for a production integrator role that may oversee subsystem sources and final assembly integration. Key contractor attributes include demonstrated experience in complex radar systems manufacturing, compliance with technical data, teaming practices, and sustainment of deployed Navy hardware. The RFI invites capability statements and schedules one-on-one industry discussions to explore topics like contract type preferences, subsystem breakout viability, production lead times, and cost-reduction concepts. Access to classified and export-controlled information requires approved DD Form 2345 submissions and signed Terms of Use Agreements, with ultimate contract recipients needing eligibility for TOP SECRET/SCI clearance. The Government will host multiple industry engagement events, including virtual and in-person sessions, to facilitate dialogue through May 2026, ahead of a future formal solicitation. Responses are to be electronically submitted by May 29, 2026, via designated contracting personnel email addresses. This RFI does not constitute a contract or commitment but serves as market research to inform procurement decisions for this critical naval radar program.
