USS SAN ANTONIO (LPD 17) FY17 Dry- Docking Phased Maintenance Availability

The modification to the description of this notice is to change the PCO name/contact information and to add proposal submission response date.

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation N00024-16-R-4409 for the execution of the USS SAN ANTONIO (LPD 17) FY17 DPMA on the east 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 LPD-17 class capable pier and dry-dock, and human resources capable of completing, coordinating, and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair, and modernization.

In accordance with the CNO's Homeport Statute, 10 U.S. Code 7299a(c), CNO availabilities with production periods estimated to be greater than 180 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 FY 17 DPMA is greater than 180 calendar days, the availability shall be competed on an east coast-wide basis.  "East coast" is defined as the east and gulf coasts of the United States.  Based on the complexity, magnitude, and duration of the requirement, the Government's market research indicated there are not two or more small business concerns capable of competing for the requirement as a small business set aside (FAR 19-502-2b). 

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.  Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to participate in this procurement at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. FBO is the single point of entry for posting of the synopsis and solicitations to the internet. This pre-solicitation notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award of contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept proposals as a result of this synopsis. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice.
