This is a combined sources sought notice (SSN), Request for Information (RFI), and pre-solicitation synopsis announcement in accordance with FAR 15.201 and in anticipation of a potential future procurement program. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing the Fiscal Year (FY) 22 floating Dry-Docking Service Craft Overhaul (DSCO) Availability of the SHIPPINGPORT Medium Auxiliary Repair Dock (ARDM-4). NAVSEA is especially interested in determining small business capability and interest.� NAVSEA intends to issue a solicitation N00024-21-R-4309 for the execution of the FY22 DSCO Availability of the SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM-4). SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM-4) is a Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) vessel, for which General Dynamic Electric Boat (GDEB) is currently the prime contractor, to operate and conduct periodic and corrective maintenance to the floating dry dock. The DSCO Availability will include a combination of maintenance, modernization, and repairs, and is expected to require a highly capable contractor with substantial facilities to include a dry-docking facility capable of accommodating the SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM-4), and human resources capable of completing, coordinating, and integrating multiple areas of vessel maintenance, repair, and modernization. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. �8669a, a contract for short-term work for the overhaul, repair, or maintenance of a naval vessel is required to be performed at the homeport of the vessel, provided there is adequate competition.� 10 U.S.C. �8669a defines �short term work� as work that will be for a period of ten months or less. Since the production period for the SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM 4) DSCO Availability is less than or equal to 10 months in duration, it is expected that this availability will be competed among firms able to perform the work at the homeport. In the event of inadequate competition, NAVSEA intends to extend competition East Coast wide and if necessary, extend to the Gulf Coast.� The planned availability is expected to begin March 2022 and complete in January2023 (approximately ten (10) months) with the Naval Submarine Base New London of Groton, Connecticut being the homeport. If two or more small business concerns are determined capable of competing for this requirement, the procurement will be established as a Small Business Set-Aside pursuant to FAR 19.502-2(b). If two or more small businesses are not determined capable of competing for this requirement, the procurement will become a full and open competition. The overhaul will require work to be completed by a contractor in accordance with the Work Requirements List that covers: (1) class maintenance plan, (2) modernization, and (3) ships 2 kilo generated force automated work request to the floating dry dock.� The planned availability is expected to be approximately 10-months in duration, beginning March 2022 and completing in January 2023.� When the SHIPPINGPORT goes offline and is ready to begin its DSCO availability in March 2022 it will enter into a 60-day unencumbered preparation period during which� the Navy�s� Nuclear Regional Maintenance Department (NRMD) will conduct swipes to clear the dock and the Naval Surface Warfare Center- Philadelphia Division (NSWC-PD) will be contracted to remove and conduct the overhaul of two rail cranes that operate on the wing walls of SHIPPINGPORT.
