In addition to the legacy DDG Modernization (DDG MOD 1.0) Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) and Combat Systems/AEGIS upgrades, DDG MOD 2.0 upgrades include installation of SPY-6(V)4 Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) with updated AEGIS Baseline​, SLQ-32(V)7 Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block III​, and High Efficiency Super-Capacity (HESC) Chillers​.

Industry Day Purpose and Details: PMS 451 will host an Industry Day for potential future offerors for Lead Maintenance Activities for the Full DDG MOD 2.0 DMP Availabilities beginning in FY29. The intent of this engagement is to provide offerors insight into the details that DDG MOD 2.0 installations will entail and to receive feedback from industry to inform program planning. PMS 451 will provide interested participants with a list of specific Requests For Information (RFIs) approximately three (3) weeks prior to the Industry Day with the intent to review RFI responses one-on-one with potential offerors.

PMS 451 is seeking responses from companies that already possess a current NAVSEA Master Ship Repair (MSR) Agreement and that can perform dry-dock and pier-side maintenance, repair, and alterations of the scope anticipated for the Full DDG MOD 2.0 DMP Availabilities.
