An/SLQ-32(V)6 antenna shelter refurbishments

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking a contractor to perform refurbishment and replacement services for AN/SLQ-32(V)6 Antenna Shelters through a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation covers three tiers of service: Tier 1 for complete shelter replacement, Tier 2 for access frame replacement, and Tier 3 for comprehensive shelter refurbishment. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities in aluminum welding, machining components up to 159" x 125" x 42", blast media cleaning, chemical conversion coating, priming/painting, and handling materials up to 2,500 lbs. The evaluation will be based on three factors in descending order of importance: Technical capability (with equal subfactors for aluminum repair, coating, and machining capabilities), Past Performance (covering the last 5 years), and Price. The proposal response is due by February 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time, with the solicitation originally posted on December 17, 2024.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 332710 with a size standard of 500 employees. The work will be performed at the contractor's facility, with the government determining the specific refurbishment tier for each shelter set before placing orders. While no specific total contract value is mentioned, the solicitation indicates that shelter quantities will be determined at the delivery order level based on fleet requirements, with Tier 2 referencing 61 sets of shelters. The contract will involve detailed technical specifications, including precise requirements for aluminum anodizing, coating processes, and hardware replacement. Contractors must be prepared to handle complex marine equipment refurbishment, with potential for multiple shelter sets to be processed simultaneously, adhering to strict military specifications for surface treatment and assembly.
