The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is issuing this Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC), Mine Warfare Program Office (PMS 495). The Navy is conducting market research in accordance with FAR Part 10 to determine whether two or more small business sources possess the requisite capabilities to successfully perform the requirement to sustain and support the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) under the stated NAICS code. This notice is for market research purposes only and does NOT constitute a request for proposal. This notice shall not be construed as acontract, a promise to contract, or as a commitment of any kind by the Government. The Government is NOT seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. Program Background: The objective of this sources sought/RFI is to help the Government determine the technical capability and qualifications of companies in meeting the Government's needs for the ALMDS sustainment program. The incumbent contractor for the ALMDS program is NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION under contract N00024-22-C-6418. ALMDS is a laser-based electro-optic Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM), high-area-coverage system that detects, classifies, and localizes floating and near surface moored Mine-Like Objects (MLOs). ALMDS is deployed on the MH-60S helicopter. Each set of ALMDS fleet deliverable hardware consists of an ALMDS Pod Subsystem (APS) and Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE). Technical Background & Reference Parameters: While the Government is not currently seeking fabrication of new ALMDS baselines, prospective offerors must understand the system's production context to effectively perform sustainment. Offerors will be required to interface with the established Configuration Management of the production baseline to track 'as-maintained' statuses. Additionally, all depot repairs, part replacements due to obsolescence, and asset re-verifications must align with the rigorous standards established during original Component Qualification Testing and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT). Note: Production and fabrication of new system baselines are not the primary focus of this effort. Requested Information / White Paper Requirements: Interested parties are requested to respond with a white paper company profile to include the following capabilities and feedback based on the program's Draft SOW: 1. Engineering Services (Ref: SOW 3.1.9): A presentation of your organization's relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities capable of providing engineering services to support the Government as required per issued Technical Instructions. 2. Depot Support (Ref: SOW 3.7): Demonstrated capability in receiving, diagnosing, repairing, and re-verifying ALMDS production assets and Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE). The source must be able to maintain preventive and corrective maintenance procedures, quote repair estimates, and conduct closed-loop Failur…
