13 -- MK54 MOD 0 TORPEDO PROGRAM SOL N00024-00-C-6100 POC Renee' Brooks, SEA 02611B, (703) 602-7706 x605 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract representative, Brooks_Renee@hq.navsea.navy.mil. The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to negotiate a contract with Raytheon Systems Company, Naval and Maritime Systems, 6500 Harbour Heights Parkway, Mukilteo, WA 98275-4844 for the MK54 Mod 0 Torpedo Program. This contract action will be only for the first year of the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the MK54 Mod 0 Lightweight Hybrid Torpedo (LHT) program, including associated spares, components, containers, and services. The MK54 Torpedo is a modular upgrade to the USN lightweight torpedo inventory, combining existing MK46 capabilities with proven technologies from subsystems of the MK50 and MK48 ADCAP torpedoes, and commercial off-the-shelf processor components using an open system architecture. The Navy intends to procure 23 MK54 Mod 0 units in LRIP I. Raytheon is the sole developer of the MK54 Mod 0 Torpedo, and is therefore the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and tooling to produce the LRIP I units within the program's delivery and performance requirements. Parties interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Raytheon directly. See numbered Notes 22 and 26. Posted 05/18/99 (W-SN332715). (0138)
