• This Sources Sought Notice seeks a reliable partner to provide a commercially available software solution as a service (SaaS) for the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP).
• The proposed SaaS must be able to rapidly configure to support recurring industrial base monitoring, acquisition decision support, production readiness analysis, and supplier risk management.
• This includes addressing single/sole-source concentrations, integration timelines, and fragmented datasets that may increase schedule and performance risk for SSP.
Description
DISCLAIMER This Sources Sought Notice is for informational and market research purposes only. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This notice does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. 2. BACKGROUND The U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) is responsible for the development, sustainment, and modernization of strategic and long-range precision weapon systems, including the Trident II (D5/D5LE/D5LE2) Strategic Weapons System (SWS), the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic capability, and the Navy's Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear (SLCM-N). SSP depends on a resilient, secure, and transparent industrial base spanning prime contractors and deep sub-tier suppliers. Overlapping sustainment and modernization efforts, single/sole-source concentrations, integration timelines, and fragmented datasets elevate schedule and performance risk. The Strategic Defense Industrial Base (SDIB) initiative addresses these issues by delivering data-driven analysis and workflows that create immediate visibility from program to part, enable proactive remediation, and align stakeholders on prioritized investments. 3. OBJECTIVE & SCOPE OF WORK SSP requires an existing, operational commercial software capability (Software-as-a-Service) that can be rapidly configured to support recurring industrial base monitoring, acquisition decision support, production readiness analysis, and supplier risk management. The solution must integrate Government-furnished information with commercial and proprietary data sources while providing configurable workflows, dashboards, alerts, and analytical products without requiring the development of new software functionality. The required capability must support the following core Lines of Effort (LOEs) and task areas: Supply Chain Readiness & Continuous Monitoring: Maintain supplier and part taxonomies, update certifications and readiness indicators, and monitor industrial base health (production, quality, workforce, financial, and schedule risks). Strategic Sourcing & Investment Decision Support: Provide comparative analyses for make/buy evaluations, supplier diversification, capacity forecasting, and ROI assessments for SDIB investments. Specific Program Support: Execute capacity and readiness assessments supporting concurrent D5/D5LE sustainment and D5LE2 production, CPS production, W93/Mk7 integration, and SLCM-N industrial base monitoring (including TLAM baseline data integration). Acquisition & Technical Decision Support: Automate aggregation of program and sustainment data to support technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and acquisition milestones (MS-A, MS-B, MS-C, IOC, FRP). Enterprise Workflow Automation: Leverage AI and machine learning to streamline recurring report…
