Vibration analysis service

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking vibration analysis services for approximately 152 machines aboard a U.S. Navy ship located in Sasebo, Japan. The solicitation (N0040625Q0225) requires a Machinery Condition Assessment (MCA) survey to be conducted by two personnel: a Senior Vibration Engineer and a Vibration Technician. The service will be performed over approximately 8 days, including 5 days moored and 3 days underway, with the contractor required to provide a condition report prior to departure and a post-assessment report within 10 days of completion. Quotes are due by 10:00 AM on January 8, 2025, and the evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, compliance with the Statement of Work, and ability to meet security and access requirements. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including DBIDS registration, SECNAV forms, visit request letter, passport copy, SPOT LOA, and USFJ Form 27 at least 14 days before the scheduled visit.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 541330 (Engineering Services) with a size standard of $25.5 million. The contract will be firm-fixed-price with no adjustments for COVID-19 or inflation impacts. Services will be performed entirely in Japan, specifically at the U.S. Navy facility in Sasebo, with the service period scheduled from January 10-23, 2025. Contractors must obtain necessary security credentials and complete required training for base access, which represents a critical qualification for potential bidders. While specific award value is not disclosed, the complexity of the required technical assessment, security protocols, and international location suggest this is a specialized contract targeting experienced vibration analysis and marine engineering service providers with demonstrated capability to work in restricted military environments.
