This is a sources sought notice for market research to identify potential sources capable of providing engineering design development, and manufacturing of technology insertion TI 28 and TI next total ship monitoring system (TSMS) hardware and software systems, technical insertion kits, trainers, and associated spares for acoustic rapid COTS insertion (ARCI) upgrades for Los Angeles, Virginia, Seawolf, and Columbia class submarines. The procurement requires engineering design development for software re-architecture, technical service, installation support, in-service support, and partial technology enhancements. The TSMS will implement commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products and non-developmental items (NDI). The proposed contract will be an 8-year cost plus fixed fee (CPFF), cost plus incentive fee (CPIF), firm fixed price (FFP), and cost type contract, spanning between FY2028 and FY2035, with approximately 552,000 man-hours of engineering design development and technical support. Respondents must demonstrate technical expertise and the ability to fulfill mandatory requirements as described in the Statement of Work (SOW) and build schedule. Respondents must have necessary facilities and equipment, including a facility security clearance at the secret level. Responses should be submitted via email to ***@***. *. * and ***@***. *. *, limited to 30 pages. The SOW and TSMS performance specification will be available only to companies with a validated security clearance at a minimum secret level, requiring a written request to ***@***. *. *, ***@***. *. *, and ***@***. *. * in the System for Award Management (SAM) database is required for any future solicitation. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and is not a request for proposals.
