This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for expeditionary 11-meter rigid inflatable boats. The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a small business set-aside competitive request for proposal for an estimated quantity of forty-eight boats over five years. The boats will support explosive ordnance disposal mine countermeasure platoons conducting very shallow water operations using MK 18 unmanned underwater vehicles. One configuration, referred to as the ExMCM configuration, will include a vehicle launch and recovery system to interface with two MK 18 Mod 2 UUVs using government furnished davits and contractor built vehicle stowage cradles. A very shallow water configuration will incorporate an empty aft deck to store two F470 combat rubber raiding crafts or one F580 CRRC. The government will procure molds and tooling for the new hull, deck and console as government furnished equipment for future procurements. Interested parties should monitor the federal business opportunities website for issuance of the request for proposal in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.
