Brief For

Diving & Diving Related Services (D&DRS)

Industry Day 18 September 2024

Welcome

The purpose of this industry day is to provide details on the

Government’s intention to request proposals from industry to provide the U.S. Navy with diving and diving related services.

Specifically, air, mixed gas, and saturation diving services in support of the SUPSALV mission areas of diving, salvage, and underwater ship repair.

Historically, the D&DRS Contract executes worldwide engineered underwater inspections, maintenance, repair, and modernization of ship hulls, underwater appendages, and structures in accordance with NAVSEA approved procedures.

Request for Information and Industry Day announcement were issued using NAICS 488390 – Other Support Activities for Water Transportation

Description of NAICS: This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing services to water transportation (except port and harbor operations; marine cargo handling services; and navigational services to shipping). Illustrative examples include floating drydocks (i.e., routine repair and maintenance of ships), ship scaling services, marine cargo checkers and surveyors.

The Government's goal is the maximization of competition. We are requesting industry feedback regarding selection of this NAICS code or rationale for using any other NAICS code industry feels is more appropriate for the scope of this contract.

Please submit any NAICS code feedback electronically or during your one-on-one session.
