CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines

The CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines Master IDIQ is a multiple-award contract vehicle issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to support repair, maintenance, and modernization of nuclear-powered attack submarines across four public shipyards. The contract will cover discrete and non-discrete production work, including preservation, structural testing, shipboard services, electrical services, component repair, and engineering support. Specifically designed to provide flexible outsourcing capabilities, the contract will enable task order competitions among multiple prime contractors for submarine-related maintenance and repair initiatives.

Task orders under this vehicle are anticipated to be competed among multiple awardees, with work primarily performed at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS), Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard (PHNSY), and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). The contract structure includes a five-year base ordering period with three additional option years and incorporates rolling admissions to periodically add new contractors. While no specific task order values were provided, the vehicle is structured to accommodate various submarine repair and maintenance requirements, with a strong emphasis on small business participation. The contract does not have a specific set-aside designation, allowing both small and large businesses to compete for task orders that involve critical and non-critical submarine component work.
