Work Requirements:

The Government requirement entails nuclear related maintenance, modernization, and repair requirements on operational nuclear powered submarines.  The effort will require project management, technical analysis, engineering and planning, training , inspection and nuclear services to accomplish intermediate-level nuclear submarine maintenance, modernization, and repairs in support of modernizing Government-owned facilities and equipment and providing off-hull support of submarine maintenance.  The Contractor shall accomplish naval nuclear work tasks using approved processes, technical work documents, and equipment.  The scope of this work includes overhaul, maintenance, repair and modification upgrades and/or ancillary services uniquely manufactured by General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB) in support of maintaining nuclear powered submarines.

Work will primarily be performed at the submarine base in New London, CT but may require occasional efforts at the contractor’s facility.  The Contractor shall have a facility/shipyard in close proximity to subase NLON.  The dynamics of submarine force operations require an NRMD contractor capable of meeting workload surges and shifting skill requirements on a daily basis. This effort requires an NRMD contractor to be a nuclear qualified shipyard and to maintain a staff in close proximity to subase NLON, capable of meeting the NRMD requirements.  White papers should address the submitter’s technical experience and the technical approach of fulfilling all requirements listed above.
