- Description
- This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) as defined in FAR 15.201(e). The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Command and Control Program Executive Office directorate (PEO IWS 6.0), is conducting market research to seek industry inputs and interest as well as identify potential sources that possess the capability to accomplish potential future requirements in support of the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) program. The information obtained in response to this RFI is intended to increase our understanding of industry interest and capability for CEC and inform acquisition decisions related to the CEC program SECTION 1: ABOUT CEC The Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) system is a sensor netting system that significantly improves battle force Anti-Air Warfare capability by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC units. �This in turn provides improved Battle Force Air and Missile Defense by coordinating all ship/air sensor data into a single, real-time, composite track picture supporting integrated fire control. �The CEC system is installed aboard US and allied ships (via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program) to include cruisers, destroyers, amphibious warfare ships, and aircraft carriers. SECTION 2: SCOPE The potential future requirements in this notice consist of CEC post-production hardware repair and maintenance requirements for CEC Legacy systems (USG-2/3/4) and associated equipment from June 2023 through Fiscal Year (FY) 2029. The contemplated scope will potentially be performed under two different contract actions: a no-cost extension to period of performance under existing contract N00024-18-C-5202 as well as a follow-on solicitation N00024-23-R-5240. The contemplated scope of work requires a source that currently possesses the required capability to meet the program schedules for the repair of critical CEC legacy systems (USG-2/3/4 configurations) without unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Navy�s requirements.� The prospective source would provide repairs, including emergency repairs, overhauls, refurbishment, and maintenance of CEC USG-2/3/4 equipment and associated equipment, including all efforts, material, and other direct costs incidental to such work, such as repair parts; components; accessories; related documentation; associated tools; packing; packaging and marking; and any necessary system testing in support of the CEC program required for United States Navy, United States Marine Corps (USMC), and FMS customers.� The prospective source would also be required to have the ability to procure or fabricate material necessary to effect the required repair or maintenance; and provide services for installation, checkout and testing, of the required repair or maintenance effort. NAVSEA anticipates that a majority of the work contemplated under this notice will be performed at the contractor's site.� The applicable NAICS code for this notice is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. SECTION 3: SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS NAVSEA invites all interested potential sources, including small business concerns, to submit written information sufficient to demonstrate the respondent's ability to fulfill the requirements. �Qualified firms must demonstrate that they possess the requisite facilities, equipment, and capabilities to perform the work. �Please note that a minimum US facility security clearance level of SECRET is required prior to award.
