About this opportunity
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is seeking an Advanced Training and Maintenance Course focused on the WP5000 High-Pressure Air Compressor (HPAC) through the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The procurement involves comprehensive training for Norfolk Naval Shipyard personnel covering installation, operation, troubleshooting, compressor theory including thermodynamics and compression cycles, and maintenance practices with hands-on components including complete teardown and reassembly of the compressor. The training must be delivered offsite at the vendor's facility and include both instructional and practical sessions designed to enhance team knowledge of HPAC principles, improve operational efficiency, increase safety measures, extend equipment reliability, and standardize maintenance practices. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical acceptability and price reasonableness, with particular emphasis on the vendor's ability to customize training specific to Norfolk Naval Shipyard's operational needs. The original solicitation due date was September 3, 2025, with training sessions planned for September-October 2025.
This solicitation is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source procurement, though there appears to be conflicting information in the documents indicating it may also be set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). The government intends to sole-source the contract to Sauer Compressors USA, as they hold proprietary rights to all drawings and installation procedures for the WP5000 model and maintain exclusive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) status. The contract requires 10 training slots delivered through a 5-day training course structured as two separate sessions over a 2-week period. The training will be conducted at the vendor's facility rather than at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard location. The place of performance is listed as Portsmouth, Virginia, with the NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training carrying a business size standard of $15,000,000.
