Enclosure (1).xlsx

This is a Locally Available Material Suggestions template sheet designed to support a Market Research Notice (RFI) issued by Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka on behalf of the U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC) in Yokosuka, Japan. The spreadsheet template provides a structured format for vendors and suppliers to submit suggestions for locally available materials that can be used for ship repair and maintenance operations across the U.S. Seventh Fleet theater, including facilities at Yokosuka and Sasebo, Japan. The template contains 35 numbered rows for material suggestions, with columns for suggested grouping classification (Standard or Alternative designation), technical specifications, operational context, and remarks. This submission tool directly supports the Government's effort to identify locally sourced materials that meet NAVSEA technical standards, specifically referencing NAVSEA Technical Publication S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248 Rev 1 (Requirements for Welding and Brazing Procedure and Performance Qualification).

Respondents should note that this RFI is strictly for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment to issue contracts. Participation is entirely voluntary, and the Government will not reimburse respondents for costs associated with preparing or submitting responses. Any submissions become property of the U.S. Navy. The RFI seeks to gather market intelligence on both locally available materials and welding capabilities in Japan to support continuous, emergent, and scheduled maintenance requirements for U.S. Navy surface vessels and expeditionary craft operating in forward-deployed positions.
