- N00164-15-S-NB67 - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT - SURFACE ELECTRO OPTICS PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION FOR U.S. NAVY AND U.S. COAST GUARD SHIPS - PSC N099 - NAICS 334511 Issue Date: 28 AUG 2015 Closing Date: 18 SEP 2015 Time 4:00 P.M. Eastern THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) to identify sources that can provide installation and production solutions to support the fielding of Electro Optics systems aboard Surface Ships for both the U.S. Navy (USN) and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). 1.0 Description 1.1 Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is requesting MARKET SURVEY information relative to Maritime Electro Optics (EO) System Integration and Installation for USN and USCG Ships. The Maritime EO systems will be installed in multiple variants from single standalone sensor platforms to multiple sensor platforms that integrate with data storage and other electronic systems such as radar, electronic warfare systems, and combat systems. Each system would be proposed based on a technical data package provided by the U.S. Government by system and/or ship class. 1.2 This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. The information obtained from this RFI will be used for market research to inform future requirements and to ensure that accurate representations are made regarding surface EO integration and installation services to be briefed by invitation only during a follow-on Industry Days event. Acquisition logistics, system integration and installation past performance, and the use of process improvement will be evaluated against U.S. Navy surface ship EO installation requirements, needs, and gaps. Trades between cost, schedule, performance, and risk management will be evaluated. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the USN is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFPs, if any are issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) or SeaPort-e website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 2.0 Background The NSWC Crane Electro-Optic Technology Division provides full life-cycle support for surface ship EO and laser systems, including technical/program management, shipboard installation, design and sensor integration, engineering, logistics, test and evaluation, acquisition, and maintenance. Surface Ship Installation Services are provided to the USN, USSOCOM, USCG and other Department of Defense (DoD) and national security customers in the areas of Maritime Electro-Optics (EO) Systems, including Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems, Targeting Systems, and Laser Systems.
