Norway Nansen Class Frigates ESSM Functional Integration and Midlife Update (MLU)

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to utilize other than full and open competition to award a Contract with Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) in Moorestown, New Jersey, for the procurement of engineering support for the integration of new capability into current Norway AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) baseline during FY 2022-27. The anticipated contract will be awarded in or around calendar year 2022.

The contractor must have expert, in-depth, technical expertise and knowledge of the International AEGIS AWS baseline and all engineering support activities to include computer program maintenance (CPM) and integrated logistics support (ILS). Additionally, the contractor must have technical expertise, requisite engineering knowledge, resources, and infrastructure to support this requirement as it relates to the AWS design as configured aboard NANSEN Class Frigates. LM RMS is the only contractor with detailed knowledge of and experience with the AWS design as configured aboard the International Partner AEGIS Class ships. The International Partner AEGIS customers have directed that LM RMS be the sole source provider for the above efforts in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(4). For future requirements not currently covered by 10 U.S.C 2304 (c) (4), LM RMS is the only qualified source with the requisite engineering expertise and support capabilities to perform the required engineering support activities without significant disruption to the program schedule, therefore will be the sole source provider in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (4).
