What the notice says

1.

This procurement supports PEO IWS 6.0 Navigation Program requirements for both surface and subsurface platforms. The resultant contract will provide continued production and sustainment of Navy ECDIS Hardware and Software. Hardware Scope: Includes production, sustainment, integrati… (show all)

on, assembly, and testing. Software Scope: Includes maintenance, modification, upgrades, integration, testing, and delivery of ECDIS software products. These software scope activities will be provided as level-of-effort tasks under Government oversight, with technical support from the Navy ECDIS Systems Engineering and Integration Agent, NSWC Philadelphia, PA. Award is anticipated in Q4 FY27 and will be made to the Offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value to the Government in accordance with FAR 15.101?1. The planned contract structure includes one base year with four one?year option periods, beginning in FY27. Deliveries are anticipated to be FOB Destination. 2. BACKGROUND The Navy ECDIS is fielded on all U.S. Navy ships and submarines as the Navy�s primary navigation plotting system. It integrates inputs from multiple sensors to provide accurate ship positioning and ensure safe navigation. Historically, these requirements were fulfilled under two separate contracts: Software development: N00024?18?C?5216 Hardware production: N64498?21?G?4003 This solicitation consolidates both into a single competitive procurement. 3. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS A Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) will be made available no later than 31 July 2026 and will be provided to all interested parties who request access per the instructions in the attached �ECDIS DRAFT Solicitation Document Access� form. Industry feedback is strongly encouraged and will be considered during preparation of the final RFP. The Government intends to require electronic proposal submission exclusively through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module at https://piee.eb.mil. Offerors are strongly encouraged to ensure their organization has an active PIEE account and that the Proposal Manager role is approved prior to the Final RFP release. A vendor registration guide for obtaining access to the PIEE Solicitation Module is posted at: https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/site-pages/solicitation-module. 4. Access Control Notice While the Draft RFP and the Final RFP will be available to all interested parties on SAM.gov, access to the controlled Final RFP attachments and the Government�s Offeror�s Library will be restricted. Only those business entities formally identifying and bidding as a Prime Contractor will be granted access to these controlled RFP attachments and the Government�s Offeror�s Library. Subcontractors and lower-tier vendors must obtain any controlled Final RFP attachments or access to the library directly through their respective prospective Prime Contractor. 5. DISCLAMER This Pre?Solicitation Notice is issued for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as an invitation for bid, request for quotation, or Request for Proposal. It does not obligate the Government to award a contract or authorize negotiations. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs will arise from responses to this announcement. All industry comments and questions submitted in response to this notice may be treated as public information and may be posted on SAM.gov. The Government does not commit to responding to comments or questions. Any revisions to RFP documents based on industry feedback remain solely at the Government�s discretion. No inquiries shall be made to any Government personnel other than the points of contact identified in this synopsis.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.

Investor context
  • $LMT reported $67.6B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 37 past awards, $44.2M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $RTX reported $68.9B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 37 past awards, $44.2M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $NOC reported $39.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 37 past awards, $44.2M, is 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $LHX reported $19.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 37 past awards, $44.2M, is 0.2% of that. 10-K
  • $GD reported $42.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 37 past awards, $44.2M, is 0.1% of that. 10-K

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Latest awards

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
