Industry Day - Advanced Payload Integration Capabilities for Future Submarinesview on SAM.gov

INDUSTRY DAY ANNOUNCEMENT Director, Submarine Programs (DSP) seeks industry input to advance payload integration capabilities for future submarines. The Director, Design & Construction (D,D&C) within Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager, Submarines (DRPM Subs) will host a classified, two-day Industry Day from Tuesday, September 29, 2026 (9:00 AM EST) to Wednesday, September 30, 2026 (12:00 PM EST) at Systems Planning and Analysis (SPA) 2001 N Beauregard St, Alexandria, VA 22311. This event will focus on existing, emerging, and feasible payload handling systems and payload/host-submarine integration challenges. Future submarines must support a wider variety of payloads than the current fleet. DSP is seeking specific technical solutions and concepts from industry to support the following areas: Logistics & operations : Onloading and offloading payloads above and below the waterline as well as logistics support of payloads underway. Launch and recovery systems for payloads during underway operations. Stowage & maintenance : Secured stowage, servicing, battery recharging, and maintenance of major payload components underway. Command, Control and Communications (C3) & ship control : Command and control of payloads and host ship during launch, recovery, and operations. Platform integration : Power, cooling, auxiliary system (e.g. hydraulics, fresh water) support, off-gassing considerations, and secure data exchange between payload and host ship systems. Safety & security : Onboard casualty response, anti-tamper, cybersecurity, and other security protocols. Lifecycle design : Launcher and payload system design for producibility and sustainment. Agenda Day 1: Briefings. The Government will brief attendees on future submarine requirements, capabilities, and mission profiles. The nuclear submarine shipbuilders (General Dynamics, Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries – Newport News Shipbuilding) will present concept designs focused on payload integration. Day 2: Breakout Sessions. Registered participants may request a 20-minute, one-on-one session with Government, shipbuilder, warfare center, and UARC personnel to discuss technical concepts, industry capabilities, and receive feedback on design feasibility. Note: Do not submit generic capability statements. DSP is only seeking specific technical solutions and ideas for future submarine payload integration. Additional documentation regarding this Industry Day will be made available at a later date. This notice is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP) and the Government is not requesting or accepting proposals currently. There is no obligation for potential offerors to respond to this notice. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS & ACCESS CONTROL Classification Level: All briefings, discussions, and breakout sessions will be conducted at the SECRET//NOFORN level Clearance Verification: All attendees must be U.S. citizens and possess a final, active U.S. SECRET (or higher) security clearance. Interim clearances will not…
