- Description
- The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) intends to issue a competitive solicitation to design and produce a Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) as a replacement for the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) that is used for clandestine launch and recovery from DDS (Dry Deck Shelter)-equipped submarines. The $530M (estimated) nine-year IDIQ contract will include design, development, production and sustainment of a SWCS system and supporting equipment located at the SDV Team ONE homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. SWCS is an ACAT III Program that achieved Milestone A in August of 2008 and is scheduled for Milestone B in the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 10. The SWCS system will include an upgraded hull that may be up to 12 inches longer and up to 6 inches wider than the MK 8 Mod 1 SDV. SWCS will require development of an Integrated Bridge System (IBS) with a commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) open architecture, a power and signal distribution system capable of integrating various electronic systems and sensors, and the capability to display operational data to the vehicle pilot and navigator. This contract action will be a full and open competition. Multiple awards through early development may be made. A draft RFP (DRFP) will be issued and comments solicited from industry approximately 20 November 2009. Included in that process will be an Industry Day planned for 10-11 December 2009 at the Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek in Norfolk, VA. The current SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) and all ancillary equipment will be made available then for interested competitors to view and a question and answer session held. DRFP comments will be considered for incorporation into the final RFP. The Government intends to award up to three IDIQ contracts to successful bidders. The first task order under the IDIQ is intended to produce an Engineering Development Model (EDM) with limited capability for Government testing. A down select will be conducted (if there are multiple IDIQ awardees), after which one successful awardee will design and produce a production-representative system. Upon successful Government testing of the production-representative system, the successful awardee may produce up to 50 systems and provide the associated contractor logistics support. The source selection will be based on a best value determination. If your firm is interested in this procurement, please send an expression of interest by 15 November 2009 to the Contracting Officer at USSOCOM, Ms. Tammy Bair (813) 826-6957 or at e-mail address: tammy.bair@socom.mil. USSOCOM will consider sponsoring up to five companies who intend to serve as the prime for this opportunity for a facilities clearance. Request for consideration must be made by 5 November 2009. This expression of interest should contain a single point-of-contact and include mailing address, telephone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address for said point-of-contact. Only one point-of-contact per company is requested. U.S. and non-U.S. firms with appropriate Export Control status are permitted to respond to this RFP. Offerors must currently have a valid Secret Facility Clearance (FCL) with Safeguarding up to Secret approved through the Defense Security Service in order to receive the data package that will be available at the time of solicitation. An RFI for this acquisition was previously released under solicitation number H92222-09-R-0032.
