Company Qualifications and Experience

1. Describe your capabilities and experience performing system installation planning, physical installation, and shipboard test, and evaluation, of surface ship systems. In this context, physical installation means building processor and display units onboard ship and includes the removing the internal cabinet wiring, cabling, and components of a unit, and production-level re-assembly of those same units with new wiring, cables and hardware components. Physical installation does not include access cuts, welding, grinding, or painting as those services are not required with the ‘build in place’ process.

2. Describe how your facilities and infrastructure allow for the handling of classified and

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), to include software script development and testing and storage of a significant amount of classified hardware.

3. Describe your experience and ability to work with personnel across installation planning, physical installation, and shipboard test and evaluation of US Navy systems. These include

Installation Check Out (INCO), Pre-Installation Check Out (PICO).

4. Provide suggestions on contract structure that would result in additional interest by industry. Example of current contract structure is as follows:

• CLIN x001-General LOE Labor

• CLIN x002-Installation efforts by Hull

• CLIN x003-Installation ODC/Material/Travel Cost

5. Provide suggestions on installation work that would result in additional interest by industry.

CLIN x002 is a non-severable installation work package where the physical installation crosses contract option years in some cases. These efforts are awarded in full at the rate of the contract year in which the availability begins. As shown in the example below, Ship 1 installation efforts would be awarded at the February 2030 rate through completion in

2032.
