This is a Request for Information (RFI) as defined in FAR 15.201(e). The Government is requesting information regarding industry’s capabilities and related experience for production and engineering of the United States Navy’s (USNs) future MK 99 Fire Control System (FCS). The primary efforts include the production of Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) radar transmitters, Data Converter Cabinets (DCC), ancillary equipment and spares for the MK 99 FCS, as well as associated engineering services to generate and deliver the MK 99 FCS Technical Data Package (TDP), and to provide technical data for the follow-on configuration to the MK 99 FCS TDP in accordance with MIL-STD-31000B.
