## Description

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to contract on a sole source basis with Leidos Gibbs & Cox for surface combatant ship design engineering (SC SDE) efforts to support future Navy surface combatants.

The estimated period of performance for this contract is 72 months.

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, the requirements described in this notice will be solicited on a sole source basis because Leidos Gibbs & Cox is the only responsible source with the unique and highly specialized capabilities necessary to meet the Navy’s requirements. This notice covers supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration by the agency.
