The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to conduct a full and open competition and release a Request for Proposals in December 2015 for the accomplishment of the Post Shakedown Availabilities (PSAs) for one (1) Freedom Variant Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), with options for PSAs on five (5) additional Freedom Variant LCS ships.  The PSA encompasses all the manpower, support services, material, facilities, non-standard equipment and associated technical data and documents required to prepare for and accomplish the PSA. The work to be accomplished will include correction of Government responsible trial card deficiencies, new work identified between ship custody transfer and the start of PSA, and the incorporation of approved engineering changes and emergent and other work that were not incorporated during the construction period and which are not otherwise the shipbuilder's responsibility. The scope of work requires drydocking capabilities and the successful offeror shall perform the work in the ships' homeport activity in Mayport, Florida.
