New England Maintenance Manpower Initiative (NEMMI) non-nuclear submarine services

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation number N00024-17-R-4315 on a sole source basis to General Dynamics, Electric Boat Corporation, 75 Eastern Point Road, Groton, CT 06340 for the New England Maintenance Manpower Initiative (NEMMI) non-nuclear submarine services. The level-of-effort contract will require direct labor, supervision, engineering and administrative support, to provide intermediate and depot level overhaul, repair and modernization services in support of operational nuclear powered submarines, floating dry-docks, support and service craft, and other submarine related platforms and equipment. Work will be performed at the submarine base in New London, CT with occasional efforts at the company's shipyard in Groton, CT. The dynamics of submarine force operations require a NEMMI capable supplemental workforce comprised of Electric Boat employees located at the Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF), New London, CT, to accomplish operational submarine maintenance, repair and modifications to maintain fleet readiness and operational commitments. This requires a NEMMI contractor to be a nuclear qualified shipyard, and listed in NAVSEA NOTICE 5000 (Activities Authorized to perform SUBSAFE, FBW-SCS, and DSS-SOC work), and to maintain a staff in close proximity to SUBASE, New London. The contractor must be capable of providing the necessary mix of personnel in a rapid timeframe. Electric Boat Corporation is the only source with a nuclear qualified shipyard staff within the necessary proximity to SUBASE, New London, CT capable of meeting the NEMMI requirements. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. See Numbered Note 22.
