INDUSTRY DAY ANNOUNCEMENT AND DRAFT SOLICITATION AVAILABILITY

AN/BYG-1 APPLICATIONS

The purpose of this combined announcement is to inform industry about the upcoming AN/BYG-1 Applications requirement, provide a forum for communication to gather feedback on the draft requirements, and release the Draft Solicitation and presentation slides for our Industry Day to all interested parties. The Industry Day presentation will be posted on E-TIC prior to Industry Day.

This notice is issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Undersea Warfare Systems, Submarine Combat and Weapons Control Program Office (PMS 425).

While this notice is for informational and planning purposes only and is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP), the Government reserves the right to issue a formal solicitation later based on the requirements discussed herein. Should a solicitation be released, it is the Government's current intent to award a contract to a single offeror.

A Draft Solicitation is available to registered Electronic Technical Information Center (E-TIC) members. The information and dates in the Draft Solicitation are subject to change. The Question-and-Answer period is open with this Draft Solicitation until 14 May 2026. A matrix is also attached to assist you with submission of any questions.

This Draft Solicitation is provided solely for informational and planning purposes to allow industry adequate read-ahead time due to the scope and complexity of the requirement.

This notice is not a Request for Proposals (RFP), and the Government is not requesting or accepting proposals currently. There is no obligation for potential offerors to respond to this notice.

Disclaimer: The Government does not intend to award a contract based on this Draft Solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with reviewing this notice, submitting questions, providing feedback, or participating in any subsequent exchanges related to this draft. This includes, but is not limited to, costs for proposal preparation, travel, or any other expenses incurred by interested parties.

An Industry Day will be held on Tuesday, May 28, 2026, to discuss the requirements outlined in the attached draft solicitation. The event will take place at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport Division in Building #80, which is located off-base at 80 Fleet Access Rd, Newport, RI 02841.

Following this, individual company breakout sessions with Government representatives will be held on the 2nd floor of the same building. The overall event is scheduled to run until 3:30 PM EDT.
