NAVY Trident II D5 Rocket Motor Storage

Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) intends to issue a Request for Proposal and negotiate a contract on a sole-source basis with Arizonia Department of Emergency Military Affairs (AZDEMA), of Phoenix, Arizonia to perform receipt, handling, and storage of D5 large rocket motors at Camp Navajo, Bellemont AZ for the Navy Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Program. This effort requires in-depth and direct knowledge of the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) and D5 Life Extension (D5LE) components.

It would take an extensive amount of additional training to position another contractor at the level of AZDEMA’s expertise. Moreover, the contractor would lack the methodology history, of which AZDEMA has. Consequently, SSP intends to solicit and negotiate per the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (FAR Subsection 6.302-1 – Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). SSP anticipates to award a Cost, Level-of-Effort (LOE), Term Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS).

The Period of Performance (POP) will include a base year FY27 effort from 1 October 2026 – 30 September 2027, and four (4) corresponding one-year option periods. Security Clearance Required. Each LOE line item is estimated to cover a twelve (12) month period of performance and will include option provisions to increase the LOE up to thirty percent (30%), in accordance with SSP terms and conditions.

EMCUBE is the only known source with the direct critical experience, expertise, personnel, and in-depth knowledge of the TRIDENT program required to perform the subject effort.
