- Description
- This is a modification of a previously issued Source Sought Synopsis: The Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) from all interested companies who may be interested in providing eligible foreign navies access to a broad range of life cycle support and other services associated with the acquisition, operation and maintenance of naval vessels within their inventory. These services typically will be provided for recipients of former United States Navy (USN) ships transferred through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. However, services of other foreign navy ships built indigenously or acquired from other sources are also eligible within current International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for support services. The Tasks section of this RFI provides additional information on the spe cifics of services being sought. This RFI in no way binds the Government to offer contracts to responding companies. The information provided will assist NAVSEA in developing and further defining future procurement and acquisition strategies. Description The eventual competitively selected contractor shall accomplish tasks associated with a full range of support/services to a number of FMS customers throughout the world in support of their ships, platforms, combat systems and industrial facilities. The support/services will vary in complexity based on the requested services. The contractor will be required to make available a fully functional shipyard within the US in order to fulfill the commitments of the US Government in the transfer of ex-USN ships which includes the overhaul/upgrade of major/minor Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) and Combat systems. Tr ansfers are normally compressed and the fulfillment of on-time delivery is critical. The contractor will provide a wide range of industrial professionals along with other specialty employees comprised of logistics, engineers, on-site managers, port engineers and other areas of expertise when/if required. The contractor will also be tasked to provide emergent teams within a large variety of skills and expertise to support the customer in country (foreign) at any given time, many times within short notice. They may also be required to establish a fully functional industrial support team in country to support major industrial events (often long term) such as ship overhauls, industrial upgrades, planning yard functions, etc. The contractor in support of this will maintain all the employees? certifications within their respective fields and ensure compliance of both ISO and USN s tandards along with a fully compliant quality assurance program. Due to the nature of the funding on any resultant contract, all associated start-up cost incurred will be at the expense of the contractor and will not be reimbursed. Tasks Non-specific but critical tasks include: 1) Accomplish 1200 lb steam boiler overhaul and repair. 2) Accomplish gas turbine engine overhaul and repair. 3) Accomplish Combat Systems overhauls, installation and repairs to include today's modern highly integrated multi-mission combat systems. 4) Provide a workforce to furnish full support services for the overhaul of ex-USN combatants (both HM&E and Combat Systems) within and outside the US along with providing shipyard and industrial upgrade services often at the same time. This will require the contractor to have a large and qualified professional workforce at his disposa l. 5) Provide services to include design, configuration management, maintenance, repair planning and execution, logistics and training in support of the transfer of decommissioned US Navy ships made available for FMS "hot" transfer or previously decommissioned ships available for "cold" transfer. 6) Develop work packages, work items, cost estimates, drawings and engineering data to accomplish authorized alterations and update selected record data. Identify long-lead time and other industrial material required. 7) Assume full management responsibility for ship transfer reactivation availabilities including stringent cost and schedule control. Develop integrated test and training plans including waterfront production activities, delivery of Government Furnished Equipment, crew training, equipment light-off, system testing and ship trials. All resources includi ng manpower, facilities and services must be included in integrated plans. 8) Provide materials, manpower and services for dry-docking, repair and maintenance of ship hull, mechanical, electrical, communications, command and control, navigation and combat systems as directed by an authorized work package. 9) Provide qualified personnel to accomplish emergent and voyage repairs. 10) Provide qualified personnel to assemble a Ship Transfer Assist Team and Transit Assist Team to provide onboard crew training and equipment verification and to assist the ship from its reactivation site to country homeport. 11) Provide a full range of operator and maintainer training at the FMS customer country's site, as requested. 12) Provide warehousing and data repository services at a facility located in the US. Responses Defense and commercial contractors, incl uding small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and woman-owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 336611, that has an average employment size standard of 1,000 employees during each of the pay periods of the preceding 12 months, will apply to this acquisition.
