Standard Missile (SM)-6 Block IA/IAU Production Requirements and Transition To Production (TTP)

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to identify sources capable of supporting two major efforts for the Standard Missile‑6 (SM‑6) program: (1) production of SM‑6 Block IA/IAU All‑Up‑Rounds (AURs), instrumentation kits, spares, containers, and associated engineering support for FY 2027‑2037 under a prospective Multi‑Year Procurement contract, and (2) a Transition‑to‑Production (TTP) effort to develop, validate, and verify manufacturing processes for the Block IAU obsolescence upgrade, enabling initial deliveries by FY 2030 and full‑rate production of up to 500 AURs per year by 2030. Respondents must submit a capabilities statement (max 25 pages) that details current and potential production capacity, a notional plan and timeline for achieving the 500‑AUR annual rate, technical approaches for FY 2027‑2037 production and the Block IAU TTP, systems‑engineering methodology for managing the missile baseline and integrating new Government‑Furnished or contractor‑developed components, and risk‑management strategies for cost, schedule, and performance. The statement must also address data‑rights limitations, proprietary items, company size (NAICS 336414), self‑performance percentages for small businesses, facility clearances, certifications (e.g., AS9100), and relevant missile‑design and high‑rate production experience. Submissions are due by 21 March 2026 via email to the listed points of contact; this is a Sources‑Sought notice only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award.
