This Department of the Navy justification notice covers a planned sole-source effort to produce and sustain towed arrays for undersea warfare programs. - Notice and buyer: Justification and Approval from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), supporting PEO Undersea Warfare Systems and the Maritime Surveillance Systems Program Office (PMS 485). This is not a solicitation or an award announcement. - Planned contractor and rationale: The notice identifies Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems as the planned sole-source contractor. The justification cites its specialized facilities and expertise, and says using another source could cause schedule delays and duplicative costs. - Products and support: Continued production, integration, assembly, testing, and delivery of redacted towed arrays; onboard repair parts; spares through Provisioned Item Orders; and refurbishment of arrays and modules to current Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). - Services: Engineering and post-delivery support, installation and integration assistance, trade studies, systems analysis, repairs and failure analysis, component development and testing, refurbishment labor and materials, and related travel and materials. - Quantities and identifiers: No quantities or part numbers are disclosed; spares are described as an unpredictable quantity. - Period and update: The effort has a base year plus four option years. Notice 2 added the Justification and Approval PDF; no substantive scope or deadline change is reported.
