- Description
- SECTION 1: SYNOPSIS The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation N0002421R2313 as a full and open competition for the Surface Combatant (SC) Ship Design Engineering effort. The purpose of the SC effort is to support PEO Ships and the NAVSEA Ship Design Manager (SDM) in design and engineering efforts complimentary to the Navy�s Future Surface Combatant Force (FSCF) and other emerging ship concepts, and conduct feasibility studies as part of supporting the broader Navy fleet. In direct support of the FSCF initiative, the Navy expects the SCs will be capable, multi-mission ships that perform missions similar to the current cruiser and destroyer fleet. This contract will primarily support the Government-led SC design and development activities including early shipbuilding industry engagement and will produce the designs and technical data products necessary to execute the Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) of future surface combatants. Future surface combatants could be a new ship design or a modification to an existing ship design. The effort includes execution of necessary risk reduction activities and obtaining necessary engineering, technical, ship configuration, and logistic data through a Government-led design process for future surface combatant ships. The Navy�s future surface combatants will seek to leverage the Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) 51 Flight III combat system while identifying and evaluating the integration of non-developmental mechanical and electrical systems into a new or modified hull design; incorporating platform flexibility and growth opportunities to meet future Fleet requirements. The Government will lead the successful offeror in the translation and documentation of the Navy�s requirements and design engineering products in the form and format suitable for the Government to execute acquisition strategies for surface combatant DD&C and definition and procurement of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). The initial surface combatant baseline will principally use non-developmental technologies, and will be designed to have flexible and adaptable Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems with significant space, weight, power and cooling (SWaP-C) margins to rapidly and economically insert future capabilities, including future blocks/flights. Offerors will only be allowed to submit one proposal as a prime contractor, and each prime contractor will only be eligible for a single award. However, offerors may be subcontractors under a prime in multiple proposals. SECTION 2: GENERAL INFORMATION This notice is to communicate to industry that NAVSEA will issue a DRAFT Request for Proposal, available for distribution to qualified contractors only. IMPORTANT: In order to be considered for contract award, the offeror must have a SECRET facility clearance by time of award. Foreign contractors, who have a teaming arrangement in place with participating U.S. companies, may act as subcontractors to U.S. prime contractors. However, the export of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data is subject to the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and requires the issuance of an export license by the U.S. Department of State. This pre-solicitation synopsis is for information only, and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis. This is not a request for proposals, a promise to issue a request for proposals, or a promise by the Government to pay for information received in response to this synopsis or any subsequent synopsis. The information contained herein is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract. If a formal solicitation is issued in the future, it will be announced via amendment to this notice on beta.SAM.gov and interested parties must comply with said updated announcement. SECTION 3: INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING DRAFT SOLICITATION Any contractor interested in receiving the draft solicitation shall submit their respective DD Form 2345 via email to the Points of Contact provided in Section 4 of this notification. Once received, the Government will independently verify each DD Form 2345. The Government will then respond with an email qualifying the contractor and include 1) the Draft Solicitation, and 2) a question/feedback template. The Government does not intend to respond to questions/feedback received in response to the draft solicitation but will consider all inputs received by the closing date and time of this announcement in developing the contracting strategy and any final solicitation. SECTION 4: SUBMISSION OF RESPONSES All responsible sources may submit inquiries/questions for consideration. Inquiries/questions concerning this announcement may be e-mailed to the Contracting Officer, Kate Robb (kate.robb@navy.mil), with CC to the Contracts Specialists, Matthew Barbato (matthew.barbato@navy.mil) and Devon Peck (devon.peck@navy.mil). The Government does not commit to provide a response to any comment or question resulting from this synopsis.
