How to bid on SLCM-N Program Facilities Engineering and Warhead Planning Support for DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the Strategic Systems Programs (SSP), is seeking support for the Nuclear-Armed, Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM-N) Program. This includes facilities engineering and warhead planning support.
The work is expected to be performed primarily in Titusville, Florida, over a one-year period. While SSP intends to award this contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation on a sole-source basis, they will consider responses from other interested parties.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 30, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 14, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. Responses received by this date will be considered by SSP.
SSP plans to award the contract in September 2026. A determination by SSP not to open the requirement to competition based on responses to this notice is solely within their discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for firms with expertise in facilities engineering and warhead planning, particularly those familiar with guided missile components and advanced development for missile and space systems. The applicable NAICS code is 541330 (Engineering Services), and the Product Service Codes are 1420 (Guided Missile Components) and AC23 (Missile & Space Systems – Advanced Development).
Given the intended sole-source award, this may be particularly relevant for companies that can demonstrate unique capabilities or a strong rationale for why they can satisfy the agency's requirements as effectively as the intended awardee.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, a well-crafted response can still be valuable. Focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's unique qualifications and capabilities that directly address the facilities engineering and warhead planning support requirements for the SLCM-N Program.
Highlight any past performance or specific expertise that shows your ability to meet or exceed the agency's needs. Clearly articulate why your company is a viable alternative or can provide a superior solution, even within the context of an intended sole-source procurement.
