- Description
- THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS AN ADVANCE NOTICE FOR INFORMATION, MARKET RESEARCH, AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MARKET RESEARCH ONLY AND MAY OR MAY NOT TRANSLATE INTO AN ACTUAL PROCUREMENT. THERE IS NO FUNDING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. The U.S. Navy is issuing this Sources Sought Notice as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having both the interest and the resources to support Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) requirements. As LCACs reach the end of their extended operational service life, shortfalls will exist in ship-to-shore lift capabilities. This will exacerbate the inherent challenges and limitations of supporting ship-to-shore movement and operations across the Range of Military Operations. The result of this market research will contribute to the identification of potential bidders for the potential Fiscal Year (FY)17/FY19 LCAC SLEP procurement. This notice is seeking business sources in the United States capable of performing LCAC SLEP efforts at either Assault Craft Unit 4 (ACU 4), Joint Expeditionary Base, Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, VA or at the prospective Contractor's owned facility. The type of work to be accomplished includes repair and installation of hull structures, machinery, electrical systems, electronics, and piping systems. Integration of Government Furnished Property (GFP) (e.g. LCAC unique cable, the Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Navigation (C4N) suite and ETF40B gas turbine engines) into the craft utilizing a mature build-to-print Technical Data Package (TDP) is also required. The TDP consists of work items and associated drawings, test procedures, technical manuals, and a GFP list for each craft. Portions of this work will require an environmentally protected facility for the LCAC during the availability. Prospective Contractors will not be required to perform the work at the ACU, a Government owned facility, but may perform the LCAC SLEP at their owned facility. It is anticipated that a site visit and informational briefing will be conducted at Assault Craft Unit 4 (ACU 4), Joint Expeditionary Base, Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, VA during the week of 4 December 2017. The site visit will allow prospective Contractors an opportunity to survey designated LCACs (SLEP craft and non-SLEP craft) as well as the site of the LCAC SLEP work done at the ACU. An additional notice will be provided via FEDBIZOPPs at a later date detailing specific information regarding the site visit. Interested parties do not have to provide the informational response detailed below in order to attend the site visit.
