The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is preparing a solicitation for the procurement of professional systems/equipment maintenance that supports both repairs and deck-plate maintenance training (Find, Fix, and Train) for Ship’s Force equipment operators and maintenance technicians.  It is expected that the labor force for this contract will be performing onboard U.S. Navy vessels located around the world. Major locations include Norfolk, VA; Newport News, VA; Portsmouth, VA; San Diego, CA; Bremerton, WA; Everett, WA; and Yokosuka, Japan. This list of locations is not all-inclusive and there may be work requirements in other locations.
