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, integration, 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.

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.
