The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation N00024-17-R-4432 for the execution of the USS HOWARD (DDG 83) Fiscal Year (FY) 18 Depot Modernization Period (DMP) on the West Coast. The availability will include a combination of maintenance, modernization, and repair, and is expected to require a highly capable contractor with substantial facilities, to include a DDG-51 ARLEIGH BURKE-Class capable pier and dry-dock as well as human resources capable of completing, coordinating, and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair, and modernization. The delivery date of the vessel is expected to be no later than 31 May 2019.

In accordance with the CNO's Homeport Statute, 10 U.S. Code 7299a(c), CNO availabilities with production periods estimated to be greater than 300 calendar days are considered long-term and will be competed on a coast-wide basis, without limiting the place of performance to the vessel's homeport. As the production period for the FY18 DMP is greater than 300 calendar days, the availability shall be competed on a West coast-wide basis. Based on the complexity, magnitude, and duration of the requirement, the Government's market research indicates there are not two or more small business concerns capable of competing for the requirement and therefore this procurement will not be set-aside for small business (FAR 19.502-2(b)).

The solicitation will be issued electronically via Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) at http://fbo.gov and interested parties must comply with that announcement. Interested offerors should monitor the FBO page for the release of the solicitation, and any applicable amendments.

FBO is the single point of entry for posting of the synopsis and solicitations to the internet.
