BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT: Operational Analysis, SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P), and Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) Materials, Design Concepts, and Technologies for Future Submarine Platforms

The Navy’s NAVSEA Advanced Submarine Systems Development (SUB 073) Office issues Broad Agency Announcement N00024‑24‑R‑2120 (posting 1 Nov 2023; closing 31 Oct 2026) to obtain unclassified White Papers on innovative technologies that enhance survivability, performance, and cost‑effectiveness of future SSN/SSGN platforms and allied‑nation submarines. Topics include stealth and hull‑treatment coatings, space‑ and weight‑saving naval‑architecture concepts, advanced energy storage, propulsion, shafting, thrust, composite structures, payload handling, launch/recovery, sensors, communications, under‑sea and seabed warfare, digital‑engineering design integration, and operational analysis such as wargame design, modeling & simulation, and strategic planning. Offerors may submit multiple White Papers on distinct topics; each will be judged on technical merit, offeror experience, past performance, cost feasibility, and data‑rights considerations. Summarily rejected proposals are those irrelevant, previously tried, high‑risk, or unaffordable. Selected White Papers may be invited to submit a Phase II Technical and Cost Proposal (unclassified or classified) that details technology maturation, laboratory/at‑sea testing, and program‑review participation. Phase II proposals are expected within one month of invitation, with contract award anticipated as early as FY 24 Q1. All awards will be made under full and open competition in compliance with FAR 6.102(d)(2)(i) and the Competition in Contracting Act.
