I. Acquisition History and Strategy

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), support of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), has requirement for the design, fabrication, and test of Ultraviolet (UV) Ballast Water

Treatment System(s) (BWTS). NSWCCD anticipates a Firm-Fixed Price

Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with a total potential period of performance of five (5) years.

NSWCCD released a Request for Information (RFI) including a draft

II. Industry Day Information

The purpose of this Industry Day is to allow ballast water treatment system vendors and engineering services vendors to obtain additional information regarding a Navy requirement to design, fabricate, and test UV BWTS as prototype units. Note, the scope of this requirement does not include installation nor integration of the

BWTS unit onboard a U.S. Navy vessel. The BWTS unit must however, be engineered and designed for installation and integration onboard U.S.

Navy vessels per the specifications listed in the performance specification sheet.

The Industry Day is an opportunity for vendors to engage with

Navy senior program managers, technical authorities, and contract officials about the Navy’s strategy to develop BWTS for Navy ships.

The Industry Day will include an overview on current program requirements and long range acquisition forecast, as well as technical https://www.fbo.gov/index.php?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=e175ad14e5fac8ecaa4274133901af5f&tab=core&_cview=1 https://www.fbo.gov/index.php?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=e175ad14e5fac8ecaa4274133901af5f&tab=core&_cview=1 requirements for the BWTS, while allowing questions and feedback from industry. Additionally, the Industry Day will provide a networking opportunity for potential teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements in support of this effort, and one-on-one discussions with Government representatives.
