REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: The objective of this RFI is to identify contractors located within 75 miles or 1.5 hours driving distance from the Naval Station Everett, located in Everett, Washington Naval Station interested in: Option 1 � Leasing the AFDM-10 from the Navy in order to competitively bid on the Naval Sea System Command�s (NAVSEA) separately solicited non-nuclear surface ship maintenance, modernization, and repair requirements. Or Option 2 � Enter into a contractual relationship to operate and maintain the AFDM-10 floating dry dock as a government owned, contractor operated facility to support competitive biding by third-party ship repair contractors on NAVSEA�s separately solicited non-nuclear surface ship maintenance, modernization, and repair requirements.� Date and Duration of Arrangements:� The commencement date of both options shall be assumed to be 01 OCT 2025. The exact duration of these arrangements has not been determined.� However, for planning purposes both the lease (Option 1) and Government Owned-Contractor Operated (GOCO) (Option 2) durations can be assumed to be a five (5) year base arrangement with an additional 5-year option. Respondents that seek to pursue either option but cannot accommodate these specific dates or durations are requested to describe limiting factors and identify dates/durations that may be supported by their response. The dock would need to be in service and NAVSEA certified for operations not later than 01 APR 2026.

The AFDM-10 is presently located at the Vigor Marine�s Seattle, Washington location under the control and custodial care of the Vigor Marine. Based on NAVSEA 04X6 Dry-Docking Matrix, the AFDM-10 is certified to dock the following classes of ships, in accordance with MIL-STD-1625(D). Note: The following is developed using an average docking displacement/draft for each ship class. Actual docking conditions may affect whether a ship class will or will not fit into the facility. U.S. Navy ship classes are listed in the Naval Vessel Register and currently in service. The AS-39 class, operated by MSC, also is included due to the nuclear function of the ships. Ship Class Characterization CG-47, DDG-51, LCS-1, LSD41/49, MCM-1, and PC-1 The ship class will dimensionally fit in the AFDM-10 at practical docking drafts and the ship class's displacement/ship loads are within the AFDM-10's certified rated capacity. The ship class may have been docked in the facility previously, but required special practices to accomplish the docking. AS-39 (MSC) and LCC-19 Ship class fits in dock, but exceeds the certified rated capacity of the facility. DDG-1000 and EDD-964 Use of special techniques to increase available water depth or special blocking arrangement to decrease ship loads may be required. SSN-688 (including MTS) and SSN-774 Ship class will fit in the AFDM-10, but facility is not nuclear capable. CVB-68, CVN-76, LCS-2, LHA-1, LHA-6, LHD-1, LPD-17, SSBN-726, SSN-21, SSN-23 and SSN-23 (Tray Removed) Ship class will not dimensionally fit in the facility or the ship class/dock combination is unsuitable for other reasons.
