FY25 USS PORTER (DDG 78) Extended Docking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA) and USS LABOON (DDG 58) Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA)

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation N00024-24-R-4427 for the execution of the USS PORTER (DDG 78) and USS LABOON (DDG 58), hereinafter referred to collectively as “these CNO Availabilities”, planned for fiscal year 2025 (FY25).  Each of these CNO Availabilities is scheduled to start in February 2025.  Upon completion of these CNO Availabilities, each ship shall be capable of carrying out its respective mission with a reasonable expectation of maintaining a satisfactory condition of readiness until the next CNO-scheduled depot availability.   

If the Navy issues a solicitation for these CNO Availabilities, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS) will guide the acquisition. The anticipated contract, like all other CNO-scheduled depot Availabilities, is a supply contract. The supply that would be procured is repaired, mission-ready ship, which shall be returned to service with the Fleet.   

USS PORTER (DDG 78) Extended Dry-docking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA) production period will be approximately 17 months, beginning in February 2025 and completing in July 2026. 

USS LABOON (DDG 58) DSRA production period will be approximately 14 months, beginning in February 2025 and completing in April 2026.   

The anticipated scope of the procurement includes all labor, supervision, production, testing, and quality assurance necessary to prepare for and accomplish these CNO Availabilities. These CNO Availabilities are expected to require a highly capable contractor with substantial human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair, and modernization. 

The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requires that full and open competition be used to the maximum extent practicable. 10 USC 8669a allows for the limitation of competition for “short term” Availabilities (10 months or less) to the homeport, provided there is adequate competition. Given that these Availabilities will be greater than 10 months in duration, the Navy would compete the acquisition on a coast–wide basis (East), without limiting the place of performance to the ship’s homeport.     

The Navy will issue the solicitation electronically on PIEE and interested parties must comply with that solicitation. Interested offerors are hereby encouraged to monitor PIEE for the anticipated release of the solicitation, and any associated amendments. Offerors must be registered in the Solicitation Module in System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.  

This synopsis is issued in accordance with FAR 5.203(a) and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Government will not accept proposals as a result of this synopsis. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided in response to this notice. 

The Government anticipates release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) on or around 11 April 2024.  

The Government anticipates awarding a separate contract for each availability on or around 07 October 2024.
