NEW ATTACK SUBMARINE (NSSN) COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE (C3I) SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT POC: SEA 02624, D. Weaver, (703) 602-7703. As a follow up to the Special Notice published on June 14, 1995 regarding the Navy's plan to encourage industry participation in the review of the DRAFT Request for Proposals (RFP) for the NSSN C3I System Development, the Navy plans to convene a Briefing for Industry on June 30, 1995 at SWL, Inc., 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, Virginia for the purpose of providing any necessary additional clarifying information. Additional information regarding access to the Briefing for Industry will be provided in the cover letter accompanying the DRAFT RFP. Any questions regarding the Briefing must be submitted to Commander, ATTN: Dwayne Weaver, Code 02624, Naval Sea Systems Command, 2531 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22242-5160. In order to enhance industry participation in the review of the DRAFT RFP, the Navy intends to post the unclassified portions of the DRAFT document on the INTERNET. The DRAFT document will be posted using the filename ``NSSN C3I DRAFT RFP''. Contractors can access the NAVSEA server through an FTP session using host address FTP.NAVSEA.NAVY.MIL. Contractors must use the word contract for both login and password to access this bulletin board. Once logged in, Contractors should go to the file area PUB/CONTRACTS and search for the filename ``NSSN C3I DRAFT RFP''. The file(s) can be downloaded, BINARY mode must be used in lieu of ASCII when copying files. A single hard copy of the unclassified portions of the DRAFT document will be maintained for viewing in the NAVSEA Industry Liaison Office, Room 5E40 in the Zachary Taylor Building (National Center #3), 2531 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia. Additionally, a single hard copy of the DRAFT RFP will be available for viewing at the NSSN C3I Reading Library at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Newport. A limited number of hardcopies will be available. As noted in the June 14, 1995 announcement, copies of the DRAFT RFP will be provided to companies/individuals who have submitted the required written request and who have appropriate security clearances on file. The Government will consider all comments received. Any subsequent revision of the DRAFT RFP remains solely at the Government's discretion. The Government will not provide individual responses to questions. Firms interested in contracting or subcontracting opportunities for C3I System Development are encouraged to make their interests known in order that a Bidder's List can be established for other firms or individuals who may be interested in subcontracting opportunities. This is not a request for proposals, a promise to issue a request for proposals, or a promise by the Government to pay for information received in response to this synopsis or any subsequent synopsis announcing the availability of draft specifications for industry participation and feedback. Issuance of DRAFT RFP does not obligate the government to award a contract and does not restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach.
