Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source contract to Electric Boat Corporation (EB), 75 Eastern Point Road, Groton, CT 06340, for the services and ancillary supplies required to staff and operate a Nuclear Regional Maintenance Department (NRMD) at SUBASE, New London, CT.

This level-of-effort contract will require project management, engineering and planning, training, inspection and nuclear services, and ancillary materials in support of operational nuclear submarines including maintaining and modernizing facilities and equipment and providing off-hull support of submarine nuclear maintenance. Personnel must be certified to work inside all designated nuclear spaces of submarines to perform nuclear-related actions as required by NAVSEAINST 4350.2C and COMFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3. Work in support of the Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF) under NRMD is performed inside nuclear and SUBSAFE work boundaries. Contractor personnel require a working knowledge of nuclear and SUBSAFE work boundaries, policies, and directives.

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 operation 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, New London, capable of meeting the NRMD requirements. The period of performance will be from 1 April 2013 through 31 March 2014 with four one year options from 1 April 2014 through 31 March 2018. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact EB directly. Electric Boat Corporation is the only source with a nuclear qualified shipyard staff within the necessary proximity to SUBASE, New London, CT.
