The Naval Sea Systems Command, Headquarters (NAVSEA HQ) intends to hold an Industry Day on 4 February 2014 at 8:00 AM local time. The location for the Industry Day will be in the Washington DC metro area, but the precise venue is still to be determined. NAVSEA will release a follow on notification once the venue has been finalized.



The Industry Day is being held to solicit market interest and discuss NAVSEA’s plan to evolve its surface ship modernization and maintenance/repair contracting strategy in order to implement a “family†of contract approaches that will maximize competition and the use of fixed price type contracts across the spectrum of surface ship availabilities. The Navy intends to leverage multiple types of contracts, “right-sized†to best perform each type of ship availability, reflecting the specifics of the class and the industrial base in each port.





To perform the planning of surface ship maintenance, modernization and repair, NAVSEA intends to competitively award third party planning contracts to provide integrated, engineered work packages.



To perform the execution of surface ship maintenance, modernization and repair, NAVSEA intends to award both Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Single Award IDIQ contracts for Emergent Maintenance, Continuous Maintenance and CNO availabilities.



The Industry Day will include an overview of the evolved strategy and an expected timeline for implementation.
