The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a full and open competitive solicitation in the October 2013 timeframe for the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP).

One solicitation will be issued which will result in two contracts being awarded, one for performance of LCAC SLEP at the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, VA at Assault Craft Unit 4 (ACU 4) and one for performance of LCAC SLEP at Camp Pendleton, CA at Assault Craft Unit 5 (ACU 5).

The solicitation will cover six craft with delivery requirements of no later than 16 months after the induction of each craft. The solicitation includes labor and material for growth work. LCAC SLEP is to be performed in accordance with the Government prepared Technical Data Package (TDP), which includes craft specific work items and all referenced drawings and test procedures. All responsible sources may submit a proposal for consideration. Offerors are not restricted to Master Ship Repair Agreement holders or Agreement for Boat Repair holders.
