About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting proposals for Aircraft Carrier Readiness Support (ACRS) services to support Commander Naval Air Atlantic's readiness operations for U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The procurement requires comprehensive professional engineering assistance encompassing engineering technical expertise, engineering graphic solutions, configuration data management, environmental engineering, hazardous waste and material handling, production control, quality assurance, and computer-related capabilities to maintain mission-capable aircraft carriers. This is a firm fixed price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity multiple award contract with up to six anticipated awards and an estimated total program ceiling of $164,000,000 shared among all awardees. Proposals will be evaluated based on non-price factors being significantly more important than price, with key evaluation criteria including facility security clearance verification at the SECRET level, technical approach, past performance, and small business participation. Offerors must submit questions no later than March 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM, and proposals are due March 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM, with proposals valid for 180 days following submission.
This solicitation does not include a small business set-aside; however, offerors must submit small business participation plans. Five incumbent contractors have been identified on similar multiple award contracts: Lifecycle Engineering, Gryphon Technologies, HII Fleet Support Group, and Valkyrie Enterprises. The contract encompasses a five-year base ordering period plus a potential six-month option period under FAR 52.217-8, with an anticipated start date of August 1, 2026, extending through January 31, 2032. Work will be performed at multiple locations including Norfolk VA, San Diego CA, Bremerton WA, Japan, contractor facilities, and onboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, with total estimated annual labor hours of approximately 556,533 across 25 labor categories ranging from Program Managers through support positions. The government has established travel expenditure ceilings of $1,100,000 annually for the base period and $550,000 for option periods, with materials and other direct costs estimated at $2,114,393 for the base period and $179,794 for the option period.
