A.4 PROGRAM: ARMY WATERCRAFT SUSTAINMENT MAINTENACE (AWSM) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The information below describes the planned acquisition approach for the AWSM program. The solicitation, clauses, Performance Work Statement (PWS), and associated information is posted on Beta.SAM.gov website under solicitation W56HZV-20-R-L805. The Government will post all changes, amendments, and updates to the solicitation, as well as answers to questions generated by industry on this site up until the deadline for receipt of proposals.

AWSM PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance (AWSM) program consists of three zones. Zone 1: CONUS Requirements, Zone 2: OCONUS Requirements, Zone 3: Global pier-side requirements. Each zone will be solicited separately.

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), issues this Request for Proposal (RFP) W56HZV-20-R-L805 for the Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance (AWSM) contract requirements in Zone 3:

Global pier-side requirements. The purpose of this service contracting effort will combine its pierside efforts for un-programmed maintenance, emergency repair, modification, and modernization efforts that do not require the use of a dry dock for U.S. Army vessels located anywhere in the world. The PD AWS modification, and modernization services will consist of all the materials and supplies for the application of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and/or Modification Work Order (MWO) efforts.

Awards will only be made to offerors who are eligible for award as identified in M.1.2. For Zone 3, one criteria is a valid Master Vessel Agreement or Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR). For this requirement either an MVA or ABR are valid. The ABR is typically established for those contractors who can perform pier-side vessel repairs and overhauls as well as non-complex work on the US Army Vessel fleet. The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) enters into Master Agreement for the Repair and Alteration of Vessels (hereinafter "MVA") with prospective contractors who desire ship repair work and who possess the organization and facilities to perform the work satisfactorily.

The MVA or ABR will be issued in accordance with Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), Subpart 217.71, which defines the MVA as "... a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between a contracting activity and a contractor that - (A) contains contract clauses, terms, and conditions applying to future contracts for repairs, alterations, and/or additions to vessels; and (B) contemplates separate future contracts that will incorporate by reference or attachment the required and applicable clauses agreed upon in the master agreement."

The offeror shall provide a copy of their valid Master Vessel Agreement (MVA), Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MARAV) or ABR package. Offerors without a valid MVA or ABR that possess the necessary qualifications to perform ship repair work may request to have their facilities and capabilities evaluated and certified in order to obtain an MVA. Instructions and requirements for submitting a request for an MVA certification can be found by visiting https://beta.sam.gov and searching for AWSM Zone 3. Packages shall be submitted 15 days prior to the closing date of the solicitation to allow for proper assessment of the offerors application and execution of the MVA.
