TACDS Services

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division in Newport, RI, requires battery replacement, firmware updates, and factory resets for sixteen Tactical Air Command and Control System (TACDS) units to keep them operational for fleet use. The effort is budgeted at $44,800 and is limited to General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) because only GDMS possesses the certified capability and approved hardware for the task. This is a non‑competitive, sole‑source procurement; however, interested parties may submit capability statements for market research. • Replace batteries on 16 TACDS units (once every five years). • Perform factory reset, firmware correction, and functional testing. • Total anticipated spend: $44,800; work to be completed under a sole‑source contract with GDMS. • Opportunity serves as market research; no formal RFP is issued.
