The United States Special Operations Command intents to issue a solicitation for the acquisition of a Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOC-R) as a small business set aside. The objective of SOC-R is to produce and field a small, fast, armed and armored combatant craft system (craft, trailer, detachment deployment package and logistics support). The mission of the SOC-R craft is to perform Short Range Insertion (SRI) of Special Operation Forces in a riverine environment. The SOCR should maximize the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)/modified COTS/non-development item technology and available commercial components. SOCR Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and requirements Threshold (T) are as follows: KPP 1. Transport. Craft, Trailer, Prime Mover, Crew, SEALs & Mission Gear on a Single C-130. KPP 2. Payload. 4 Crew, 8 SEALs, 700 lbs Mission Gear. KPP 3. 15 sec to 25 kts. KPP 4. Range. 125 nmi (10% reserve). SS 0, 20 -- 30 kts. Threshold 1. Top Speed. 35 kts. Threshold 2. Draft. Maximum 2.0 Feet Static. Threshold 3. 80% Mission Reliability. Threshold 4. Armor to protect the Propulsion system, Helmsman/Gunners from AK-47 ball rounds, (Craft doesn't have to meet acceleration, top speed, range, draft with removable armor installed). The government anticipates award of a firm fixed price, cost plus fixed fee, indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery type contract for a basic performance period and 13 priced options (1 year each). The current estimate for the SOCR is 1 pre-production prototype system in 2001, 8 production systems with Detachment Deployable Packages in 2001or early 2002, 18 production systems in 2007-2009, and Life-Cycle Logistics Support thru 2014; however, there will be a range of quantities for additional units up to the maximum of the contract which can be ordered over the term of the contract. This specific information related to minimum and maximum will be contained in the RFP. A one-day "Industry Day" at Special Boat Unit 22 is planned. Offerors will provide a parent craft for government evaluation 180 days after RFP release and will be allowed approximately 150 days to prepare their proposals. A best value source selection will be held. The RFP should be available around 30 June 2000.
