- INTRODUCTION This is a Sources Sought announcement in accordance with FAR 15.201 in anticipation of a potential future procurement program. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Washington DC, is conducting market research and seeking information from potential sources able to procure, receive, store, and ship materials associated with the portside knuckle boom crane manufactured by Allied Systems Company onboard the U.S. Navy�s San Antonio-class Amphibious Transport Dock (LPD 17) vessels. BACKGROUND The NAVSEA Surface Warfare Directorate, SEA 21, is responsible for life-cycle management for all non-nuclear surface ship classes of the U.S. Navy including Surface Combatant Warfare Class Ships. In-service life cycle support of these ships comprises: integrated planning, programming, and execution of the maintenance and fleet modernization program, including the provision of all technical and logistics support required to maintain, modernize, and improve performance of the ships. REQUIREMENT NAVSEA is seeking contractors capable of completing expert services related to the procurement of material for the aforementioned knuckle boom cranes on LPD 17 class ships. The scope associated with the Sources Sought notice includes, but is not limited to: Delivery of qualified personnel to deliver direct, on-site, shipboard support for assessments, diagnostics, troubleshooting, repairs, overhauls, maintenance, and the removal/installation of U.S. Navy owned Allied Knuckle Boom Cranes. Conduct knuckle boom crane upgrades and overhauls to fully restore the material condition and operational functionality of the systems Provide training, inspection, labor and material to explore and resolve any in-service problems associated with all U.S. Navy owned Allied Knuckle Boom Cranes. This requirement will provide technical logistics and engineering services to support inspections, parts recommendations warehousing, new davit installations, and both initial and ad-hoc Fleet Response Plan training. Orders will also include repair and rebuild for the Allied Knuckle Boom Cranes installed onboard U.S. Navy ships. Emergent actions may be required to respond to emergency situations on short notice ACQUISITION STRATEGY The Government is contemplating procuring this effort utilizing an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with an ordering period of one 12-month base year and four 12-month option years. However, the Government is seeking industry input for the best acquisition approach. Previous acquisition approaches have resulted in the work accomplished primarily through subcontracting and has led to inefficient lead times for completion of the work scope. Therefore, the desired acquisition strategy is one that will result in a prime contractor that can complete the work directly or with limited subcontracting. CAPABILITIES AND CAPACITY STATEMENT Interested parties shall submit a comprehensive Capabilities and Capacity Statement that describes the firm�s capabilities and capacity to meet the Government�s requirements, including the following: Positive statement of intent to bid as a prime contractor for the requirement. An outline of resources available to accomplish the proposed contract. Submittals must clearly distinguish in-house resources from sub-contracted resources and include the following areas: Infrastructure and organization sufficient to deliver direct, on-site, shipboard support for assessments, diagnostics, troubleshooting, repairs, overhauls, maintenance, material and the removal/installation of U.S. Navy owned Allied Knuckle Boom Cranes. Implementation of project management controls and execution of significant multi-tasking. Qualified Personnel: identify appropriate levels and types of expertise in a manner that demonstrates understanding of the requirements. Provide relevant examples of a quality system defining the capability and approach to ensure quality assurance for all procured material. Does your company have experience completing quality assurance on the materials typically associated with U.S. Navy owned Allied Knuckle Boom Cranes maintenance, repair and modernization availabilities? Does your company have adequate financial resources to perform the requirements, or the ability to obtain them? Past Performance: Provide relevant past performance information including previous contracts performed in the last five (5) years. The information provided for each named contract shall include: general scope of contract, specifically outline relevance to the requirements identified in this Sources Sought notice. Dollar value, location, and Point(s) of Contact (including name, title, phone number and email address). If the work was accomplished as a prime contractor, please indicate the percentage of work, if any, that was subcontracted. If the work was performed as a subcontractor, indicate the percentage and dollar value of the work performed. If the interested party has no relevant experience on U.S. Navy owned Allied Knuckle Boom Crane projects onboard U.S. Navy vessels, private industry projects may be submitted. If the past performance information submitted is for effort other than that provided in support of U.S. Naval Surface Fleet Vessels, explain (no more than 1-page in length) how that experience will enable the firm to successfully meet the requirements of the contemplated contract(s). The Government is not requesting interested parties to provide brochures and/or generalized sales-pitch language. Capability and capacity statements shall be specific (quantified as appropriate) and not theoretical in nature to the greatest extent practical. Specifically, parties are requested to provide the following information (as applicable): Company Name, Company address, Primary company contacts(s) and associated email addresses, Company website, Business size (small or large) for NAICS code (336611) Company�s socioeconomic status (Woman-Owned, Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, etc.), Company CAGE code and UEI number, and Any other information deemed applicable by the interested party.
