On September 15, 1994 the Navy awarded contracts N00019-94-C-0257 and N00019-94-C-0258 to HMSC following a winner-take-all limited competition for production of Block III TOMAHAWK AUR missiles and the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of the Block IV TOMAHAWK AUR, respectively. HMSC completed a successful Critical Design Review in July 1997 however, the Block IV development effort is not yet complete and the Government does not have in its possession a technical data package suitable for competition.. HMSC is the only known firm possessing the required technical knowledge, data, experience, and requisite infrastructure that would not require significant capital investment in order to produce the Block IV in LRIP and LRP. For subcontracting possibilities, interested parties should contact HMSC at the address listed above. See Note No. 22. (0323)
