8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, SEA 21/ CNRMC has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. The current LCS sustainment strategy, consisting of a family of contracts, is to build upon the ng the Navy perform repairs organically with minimal OEM assistance. As such, a training component is included in this requirement to support that desired capability; and the government is currently executing alternatives that will result in individual, direct contracts with various other OEMs. If the LCS sustainment strategy shifts and the technical documentation produced from these agreements can be shared amongst vendors other than the OEM, CNRMC will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. NAVSEA will continue to seek opportunities to expand competition for future requirements, while developing internal capabilities.
