Sole source – engineering and root cause analysis (RCA) support

The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks engineering technical root cause analysis support services for valve regulated lead acid batteries installed on Navy submarines and training ships. The selected contractor must support battery performance improvements, review technical documentation, participate in meetings and failure analyses, and deliver test plans, status reports, technical information reports, meeting agendas and minutes, and material analysis summaries. Offerors must submit separate technical and price volumes for an initial year and four option years by September 1, 2021.

There is no set-aside designation. The solicitation involves NAICS code 541330 for engineering services and PSC code R425 for technical representative services. The amendment replaces references to an incumbent supplier. Prices should be proposed for the initial period of performance from August 2021 through August 2022, with four optional one-year extensions. Services will be performed at the contractor's facilities and the Naval Sea Systems Command location.
