About this opportunity

The Navy seeks to upgrade circuit breakers on LHD-1 Class amphibious ships as part of a mid-life upgrade program. The Naval Sea Systems Command requires 2000A and 4000A circuit breakers meeting Military specifications, along with technical data and first article testing. Interested parties must demonstrate the ability to obtain security clearances, manage tasks as prime contractor, and perform 51% of work with their own employees. Capability statements are due by 4:00pm EST on March 27, 2020 and will be evaluated based on corporate description, past performance, and technical response demonstrating experience with efforts of similar size and scope.

There is no set-aside designated for this pre-solicitation notice. The anticipated NAICS is 334210 and PSC is J019. The circuit breakers must already be on the Qualified Products List or contractors must submit a plan for qualification. Quantities will vary slightly per ship, and the notice provides no award values or budget ranges.
