LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) IN-SERVICE ENGINEERING & LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT

This sole‑source notice announces the Navy’s intent to award a contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. for comprehensive in‑service engineering, lifecycle support, and related services for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Independence (INDY) variant’s C5I systems. GDMS, as the original equipment manufacturer, is deemed the only source capable of providing the required engineering, design, integration, testing, software development, logistics, configuration management, and training support without incurring prohibitive duplication costs. The solicitation seeks quotations despite the intent‑to‑award status, and responses are to be submitted via the listed Navy email contacts. • Scope: Engineering, design, integration, test & evaluation, software development, logistics product development, configuration management, and training for LCS INDY C5I systems. • Sole‑source justification: Only GDMS possesses the proprietary design data; alternative sourcing would add $26‑$34 million in duplicate costs and cause a minimum five‑year support gap. • Submission: Interested parties may submit a quotation to the provided Navy contacts, citing Notice ID N6339426R0TBD.
