- Description
- THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) IS FOR INFORMATIONAL AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, REQUEST FOR QUOTE, OR AS AN OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MAY OR MAY NOT TRANSLATE INTO AN ACTUAL PROCUREMENT(S) IN FUTURE YEARS. THERE IS NO FUNDING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. The Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for Post Shakedown Availabilities (PSAs) for six (6) Freedom Variant Littoral Combat Ships. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 336611 Ship Building and Repairing. The size standard for NAICS code 336611 is one-thousand (1,000) employees. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. PSAs are intended to accomplish correction of Government responsible trial card deficiencies; new work identified between ship custody transfer and the start of the PSA; and the incorporation of approved engineering changes which were not incorporated during the construction period and not otherwise the shipbuilder's responsibility. PSAs can vary in scope and complexity, although 180,000 to 250,000 man-hour PSAs are common for LCS, and typically include additional work scope that is performed by Alteration Installation Teams (AITs) and other outside activities. The PSA is normally accomplished within a period of approximately fifteen (15) weeks, depending on the size of the PSA work package. The contractor is expected to provide for the necessary program management in order to adequately manage, integrate, and support the entire PSA work scope, including that work scope that is not the responsibility of the contractor to perform. In support of this, a resource-loaded Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that provides for accomplishment of the total availability work package, including AIT and other outside activity installation modifications will be required. Facility requirements include: - U.S. Navy certified dry dock facilities capable of docking a 3900 ton, length 378 ft., and beam 57.4 ft. vessel. - Ship Pier/berthing capability (minimum pier side depth of 18feet required). - Warehouse/storage facilities to accommodate pre-positioning and long lead time material procured by the Planning Yard. - Minimum 6,000 square feet of Government office space, to include internet and phones, for use by up to 40 people adjacent to the ship. Parking for those individuals within a 10 minute walk of the facility. - Sufficient indoor and outdoor production facilities to perform marine pre-fabrication, repair, and machining onsite. - Crane and transportation services. - Power, compressed air, water, and sewage for PSA industrial effort and for Government and office space. - A secure, environmentally controlled environment/facilities available for combat systems and electronics equipment. - Anti-terror/force protection measures employed at the Contractor's facilities in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009-72. - NAVSEA qualified aluminum and steel welding capability. - Facility security clearance issued by the Defense Security Service at the SECRET level - Work shall be completed in a manner which affords for Naval Supervisory Authority certification of the PSA. Per OPNAVINST 4700.8K, conducting the PSA at or near the ship's homeport is desirable to minimize impact on crew training and quality of life. The homeport location is Naval Station Mayport, Florida. If your organization has the potential capacity to perform the above described efforts, please provide the following information: 1) Organization name, address, e-mail address, web site address, telephone number, and size and type of ownership for the organization; and 2) Tailored capability statements addressing the particulars of this effort, with appropriate documentation supporting claims of organizational and staff capability.
