Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS) Sustainment / Production Hardware

This solicitation anticipates a cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price, and cost-only contract for SSDS acquisition efforts from FY27 through FY37, with award expected in CY27. The draft Statement of Work (SOW) is available for industry review and comment, with NAVSEA specifically seeking recommendations to increase competition and efficiency regarding contract structure, cost type, and barriers to entry. Key requirements include comprehensive program management – designating a full-time Program Manager with authority to interact with PEO IWS 80 – and adherence to the SOW, Technical Data Packages (TDPs), SSDS System/Subsystem Specification, and Critical Item Development Specifications. All manufacturing must occur within the continental United States, and assemblies/supply chain management must utilize Government-approved vendors and countries. Contractors must also participate in regular Integrated Product Team (IPT) and configuration control meetings, deliver specified Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items (detailed in Exhibit A and via DD Form 1423), and maintain Government Common Access Cards (CACs) for key personnel. A critical requirement is the proactive management of Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) through analysis, proposed replacements, testing, and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs).
