Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSEA) has issued solicitation N00024-26-R-6311 for Operations and Sustainment (O&S) of Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MMs) and Small Unmanned Surface Vessels (sUSVs). This effort, managed by PEO USC, LCS MM Office (PMS 420), aims to support the LCS fleet's mission capabilities. Proposals are due March 6, 2026, with an anticipated single award around October 29, 2026. No set-aside is specified.
Scope of Work
The selected contractor will provide O&S for LCS MMs and sUSVs. LCS MMs are crucial for defeating asymmetric threats and ensuring naval and joint force access in littoral regions. The program employs an incremental development approach, integrating separately procured MM equipment (e.g., berthing augmentation, gun/missile systems, mine countermeasures payload delivery) and sUSVs (e.g., interceptors, maritime domain awareness, logistics). Common support containers, based on ISO-compliant shipping containers, are utilized to preserve anonymity and provide "roll on, roll off" capabilities for LCS seaframe and sUSV primary mission sets.
