The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), specifically Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC), LCS MM Office (PMS 420), has issued Solicitation N00024-26-R-6311 for Operations and Sustainment (O&S) for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MMs) and Small Unmanned Surface Vessels (sUSVs). This solicitation, updated on February 18, 2026, seeks to procure services for the O&S of these critical naval assets. The government anticipates a single award around October 29, 2026. Proposals are due by March 4, 2026.
Scope of Work
This effort supports the LCS fleet in defeating asymmetric threats and ensuring naval access to littoral regions. The LCS MM Program integrates separately procured MM equipment (e.g., berthing augmentation, weapon systems, mine countermeasures payloads) and sUSVs (e.g., interceptors, maritime domain awareness). The program utilizes ISO-compliant shipping containers ("Conex boxes") for common support, enabling "roll on, roll off" capabilities for LCS seaframe and sUSV primary missions.
