A -- DEVELOPMENT OF THE REMOTE MINEHUNTING SYSTEM (RMS) PROGRAM SOL N00024-98-R-6316 POC Steve Caracciolo, Contracting Officer, NAVSEA 026, (703) 602-0951, Extension 633. This synopsis inadvertently appeared under section P (Salvage Services) on 17 April 1998. The U.S. Navy intends to procure further development of the AN/WLD-1 Remote Minehunting System. The sole source contract is based upon a system design being developed by Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems under NAVSEA contract N00024-96-C-6322. Proposed system design changes for the AN/WLD-1 include integration into the AN/SQQ-89(V)15 Undersea Warfare Combat System and DDG-51 class ships and integration of the new sensor suite into the system. Lockheed Martin is the only known company that currently possesses the required in-depth technical knowledge of the overall RMS system design and integration to develop an Engineering Development Model (EDM). No other source currently possesses the technical qualifications and necessary resources to perform the work described herein. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities in mine warfare sensors, over-the-horizon wide bandwidth data links, associated technologies and other areas, should contact Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems. The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems, Incorporated, Post Office Box 4840, Syracuse, NY, 13221-4840, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1).
