The navy will be looking for a prime contractor, via the formal competitive procurement process, to provide this fleet rework in the effort to reduce the present Scheduled Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) backlog to manageable levels. An RFI package (containing the Draft SDLM Spec) is expected to be available to industry by 1 February 1997. Responses are sought from industry to address tooling requirements and lead time, required GFE/Support Equipment, minimum sustainable. biddable quantity and maximum sustainable biddable quantity, if applicable. Additionally, responses should address any existing S-3 component repair/refurbishment contractual ties currently held by respondees with other industry agencies which this effort might leverage from. A draft SDLM Specification is available. This request shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or as an obligation on the part of the government to acquire any follow-on capabilities. The government does not intend to award a contract at this time or otherwise pay for the information provided. No entitlement to payment of direct costs or charges by the government will arise as a result of submissions of responses. Any formal RFP will be separately listed in the Commerce Business Daily. Tentatively, the Government plans to release a draft RFP package during 1st quarter CY 1997. Contractors interested in receiving this package should provide company name, address, copy letter. Contractors responding will be notified when packages are available for pickup or mailing.
