Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a contract modification in support of the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) to manufacture and deliver Tomahawk Warhead Housings to be used in the production of missile warhead sections for the U/RGM-109E TLAM. TLAM is a surface and sub-surface launched missile. U/RGM-109E missiles are retrofitted with the TLAM WDU-36/B warhead. The Warhead Housings to be supplied under this contract will be used for new and recertification TLAM AURs. 

NAVAIR intends to award this effort to General Dynamics OTS (DRI), Inc., 1425 Commerce Blvd., Anniston, Alabama, 36207-9449, as the only responsible source with access to the requisite technical data, manufacturing capability, and production experience necessary to manufacture the TLAM Warhead Housings within the required schedule and without unacceptable duplication of cost. 

Since 1994, Raytheon has been the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer for the TLAM. General Dynamics OTS (DRI), Inc. has obtained Raytheon authorization to the current configuration and manufacturing data for the TLAM, required to accomplish this requirement. 

Responsible parties may submit capability statements which may be considered.  This is not a request for proposals.
