Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSEA) is conducting market research via this Sources Sought/RFI for the production and support of the AN/SPY-6 Family of Radars. The Navy intends to competitively award a multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract as early as FY27 to procure and support various radar variants. Responses are due February 16, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement covers the production of four AN/SPY-6 variants built on common hardware line replaceable units (LRUs) using modular, open system principles:
- AN/SPY-6(V)1: For DDG-51 Flight III ships.
- AN/SPY-6(V)2: Rotating variant for CVN, LHA, and LPD hulls.
- AN/SPY-6(V)3: Fixed-face variant for CVN (Ford) and FFG(X) hulls.
- AN/SPY-6(V)4: For DDG-51 Flight IIA backfit.
The scope includes "Build-to-Print" production based on a Government-furnished Technical Data Package (TDP), technology refreshes, obsolescence resolution, and engineering support. The Government is considering breaking out specific subsystems for separate competition, including Digital Receiver/Exciter (DREX) LRUs, Transmit/Receive Integrated Microwave Modules (TRIMM), and Prime Power Equipment (PPE).
