Regional Maintenance Center.

4. Discussion

a. The type of work that comprises ship repair, and the conditions under which it is performed, require that NA VSEA contract only with ship repair companies that are fully capable of conducting all aspects of shipboard work. The compact arrangement of machinery and systems aboard ship, the sophistication of systems installed in naval ships, and the Navy's

CNRMCINST 4280. l B absolute requirement for reliable operation, create a unique repair environment that demands special expertise and capability. Naval ships are designed and built with a high degree of interaction among components and systems. Repairs or modifications to a single system or component may have wide-spread effects on the operation of many other systems or components that are physically remote from the one being repaired. A thorough understanding of these effects and the ability to manage shipboard work as an integrated package are essential.

a. Successful accomplishment of ship repair work requires careful coordination of a work force possessing a wide mix of skills and trades. Even relatively minor repairs may entail the following, but not limited to:

(l) Advance planning;

(2) Engineering;

(3) Material identification and procurement;

( 4) Material management;

(5) Work site preparation;

(6) Rip-out and removal of interferences;

(7) Handling, removal and disposal of hazardous materials/wastes;

(8) Removal, disassembly, repair and reassembly;

(9) Reinstallation and test;

( 10) Restoration and test of interferences;

(l 1) Work site restoration;

( 12) Quality Assurance;

( 13) Integrated system testing;

( 14) Updating of documentation;

( 15) Safety Requirements;

( 16) Physical and information assurance security;

( 17) Maintenance Support Computer Software and Hardware.

b. Timeliness, safety, and quality control are of utmost importance in the conduct of ship repair in order to return the ship to a mission-ready state as well as to provide maximum assurance that it will remain so while deployed until the next scheduled maintenance period.

c. The four-tier vessel repair certification process, MSRA (Tiers I, II, and III) and the ABR, has been established to ensure the Navy receives a satisfactory repair effort and to promote an active, competitive private sector industrial base to repair Navy ships. A Contractor may hold both an MSRA and an ABR, depending on their levels of expertise, capability and workload capacity.

5 . Policy

a. Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA)

( l) The MSRA is not a contract; it is a location specific contract agreement vehicle issued to those firms that have the facilities, management, organization and production capabilities to perform an entire repair and alteration package of varying levels of complexity. This written instrument contains clauses, terms and conditions applying to future contracts for repairs, alterations and/or additions to vessels. Additionally, it contemplates separate future contracts that will incorporate by reference or attachment the required and applicable clauses agreed upon in the master agreement. Contractors must submit separate applications for each location for which certification is desired.

(2) MSRA Tier I, II and III eligibility requirements are set forth in Enclosure (2).

(3) All MSRA tiers will be required to recertify every five (5) years; or earlier if required based on a significant change in a firm's status, e.g. mergers, novation agreements, company closure, etc. Recertification applications must be submitted to CNRMC a minimum of six months prior to expiration, submittals received any later and the contractor risks timely recertification before cancellation of the existing agreement. Major organizational shifts in a firm, including novation agreements, mergers, etc., require a firm to recertify within one ( l) year of finalization. Failure to re-certify will result in the cancellation of the existing MSRA.

(4) The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) requires an annual financial capability evaluation, initiated by the cognizant Contracting Officer at the respective Regional Maintenance Center (RMC), on the annual anniversary of the MSRA approval.

(5) Contractors failing to meet the full minimum requirements for the MSRA Tier applied for are highly encouraged to apply for a lower MSRA Tier or ABR to maintain or build experience and participation in the surface ship repair environment while working to improve upon their desired MSRA Tier eligibility.

b. Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR)

( l) The ABR is not a contract; it is a location-specific contract agreement vehicle issued to those firms that demonstrate managerial capabilities to schedule and to control boat/craft repairs in a specific location. This written instrument contains clauses, terms, and conditions applying to future contracts for repairs, alterations and/or additions to vessels. Additionally, it contemplates separate future contracts that will incorporate by reference or attachment the required and applicable clauses agreed upon in the master agreement. Contractors must submit separate applications for each location for which certification is desired.

CNRMCINST 4280.1 B

(2) ABR eligibility requirements are set forth in Enclosure (3).

(3) The foundation for an ABR is validation that a firm has the management, production, organization and facilities to accomplish the technical and production capabilities to repair steel, aluminum, or fiberglass hulled vessels.

(4) ABR s will be recertified every five (5) years; or earlier if required based on a significant change in a firm's status, e.g. mergers, novation agreements, company closure, etc. Recertification applications must be submitted to CNRMC a minimum of six months prior to expiration, submittals received any later and the contractor risks timely recertification before cancellation of the existing agreement. Major organizational shifts in a firm, including novation agreements, mergers, etc., require a firm to recertify within one (I) year of finalization. Failure to re-certify will result in the cancellation of the existing ABR.

(5) The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) requires an annual financial capability evaluation, initiated by the cognizant Contracting Officer at the respective Regional Maintenance Center (RMC), on the annual anniversary of the ABR approval.

c. The MSRA and ABR eligibility requirements reflect a generic work package requirement;

therefore, the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) of a ship repair contract may determine that a complete Pre-Award Survey is required prior to award of a job order to verify a contractor's managerial capabilities, financial status, production capacity, percentage of work subcontracted, and/or facilities capabilities and capacities among other factors. PCOs may determine not to award job orders to Contractors based solely on their MSRA / ABR certification. The PCO may determine to use specific MSRA / ABR certification requirements as an eligibility factor for contract award.

d. Neither an MSRA Tier, nor the ABR, is to be used to evaluate the qualification requirements for submarine repair work.

6. Responsibilities
