Quick Summary
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), specifically the 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) services for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MMs) and Small Unmanned Surface Vessels (sUSVs). The Government anticipates a single award around October 29, 2026. Proposals are due by March 4, 2026.
Scope of Work
This opportunity covers the O&S of LCS MMs, which support 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) and sUSVs (e.g., interceptors, maritime domain awareness). Product lines utilize ISO-compliant shipping containers for 'roll on, roll off' capabilities. The effort also includes O&S for sUSVs.
