# NAVSEA Seeks Submarine Rescue System Input

NAVSEA’s PMS 390 is using RFI N00024-27-R-6116 and post-Industry Day materials to shape its acquisition approach for a next-generation submarine rescue system. The market research identifies potential work in prototype design, manufacture and testing, follow-on production, and Government Owned Contractor Operated services, with possible Foreign Military Sales systems. Responses are due **November 16, 2026 (13 days remaining)**. NAVSEA states that the RFI is for market research only and is not a solicitation or commitment to award; the tentative prototype and follow-on schedule is an estimate.

- Companies with submarine rescue, hyperbaric, maritime systems, prototype development, testing, or operations and maintenance capabilities can use the response to describe relevant experience and inform the acquisition approach.
- The notice identifies a tentative prototype award in Q4 FY27 and a possible follow-on production and services solicitation and award in FY32 or sooner; these are estimates, not guaranteed procurement dates.
- Contractors should distinguish their capabilities across prototype development and testing, production, and potential Government Owned Contractor Operated services when preparing input. The signal does not provide a contract value or named vendors.
