19 -- AUXILIARY DRY CARGO T-ADC(X) SUPPORT SHIPS NAVSEA is providing an opportunity for industry fact finding trips aboard Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ships to observe underway replenishment (UNREP). The purpose of these trips is to provide first hand data on cargo transfer to potential shipbuilders and designers of the new Auxiliary Dry Cargo Ship (T-ADC(X)). For reservations, send e-mail to adcx@hq.navsea.navy.mil, with "CLF UNREP Trip" as the subject line, provide in the body of the e-mail the following information; company name (lead company name if an industry team will attend together), number of persons (10 members per team maximum), point of contact information (lead company point of contact, e-mail address, phone number) and embarkation preference: East Coast, West Coast, or either coast. A chronological list, based on receipt date, of industry teams will be held by the T-ADC(X) program office and teams notified individually as UNREP opportunities arise. The dynamic nature of UNREP operations makes long range planning difficult, but every effort will be made to accommodate all interested parties when operational commitments permit. Teams must be prepared to travel, and ready for overnight accommodations aboard ship. Missions will be five (5) to seven (7) days in length and participants may not be returned to the port of embarkation. The Government will not fund any costs associated with these trips. Industry participants will be responsible for all costs associated with these visits including, but not limited to, meal charges while aboard the vessels.
