- Description
- The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking potential sources with AN/BQQ-10 Acoustic - Rapid Commercial-off-the-Shelf Insertion (A-RCI) knowledge, capability, and interest to develop, integrate, and produce the AN/BQQ-10 Technical Insertion (TI) 12 with Advanced Processor Build (APB) 11, TI12 with APB13, TI14 with APB13, and TI14 with APB15. A-RCI is a sonar system that integrates and improves towed array, hull array, sphere array, and other ship sensor processing, through rapid insertion of COTS based hardware and software. The A-RCI program follows a spiral development model for rapid COTs insertion. Every even year, the hardware baseline is modified to incorporate new technology via a Technical Insertion (TI). Every other year (in the odd years) the system software must be modified to accept new Advanced Processor Build (APB) software, which may require firmware and/or hardware changes. The Navy expects to award a contract for this effort in or around mid-2010, wi! th first deliveries in January 2013. The Navy expects to procure approximately 12 systems per year over a four year period under the base portion of this future contract. This future contract is anticipated to include a base year, four option years, and the potential to be awarded five additional award term years. This will be a full and open competition. The Navy intends to issue a Request For Proposal (RFP) by mid 2009. An Industry Day is anticipated prior to the release of the RFP, where additional information will be provided. Additional information related to this announcement will be released in the near future.
