PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

FABRICATION OF FLEET MOORING CHAIN & ACCESSORIES

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION. The Naval Facilities Engineering & Expeditionary Warfare Center

(NAVFAC EXWC), Code CIOFP6 provides technical and logistical support services to the United States

Navy (USN) and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies for mooring and berthing of fleet vessels.

Mooring materials have been previously supplied under USN centralized funding buys and inventoried based on future Fleet Mooring and customer requirements. The Fleet Mooring Inventory has provided a rapid response capability for customers since its inception. Recent historical experience over the past 2 decades showed the loss of centralized funding procurements for the program as procurements are done on an as-needed basis to meet emergent mooring requirements and sustainment of existing mooring systems. It is expected that future requirements for new installation, upgrades and maintenance of Fleet Moorings as well as other DoD customers will still require the fabrication of mooring chain and accessories in a timely manner.

Additionally, it is anticipated that centralized funding of procurement of mooring chain and accessories, by size, will be provided to a limited extent.

Therefore, creating a multi-year, indefinite quantity contract will provide the most cost effective and responsive solution for DoD customers.

Additionally, the Fleet Mooring Program still maintains several shots of mooring chain at the Port Hueneme, CA inventory site. However, a high percentage of these shots are over 25 years old in age and/or made by a manufacturer that is no longer in business. Recent post proof testing of 1 size chain indicates that the need for additional testing and re-coating of used mooring chain shots.
