NSWCPD plans to conduct an industry day for the purpose of advising industry about its FY23 requirement for the Little Blue III Multiple Award Contract (MAC) (8(a) Program). This procurement shall provide blue collar installation and associated technical services for upgrading Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems and deploying technologies which improve availability, increase reliability, ship readiness, and decrease maintenance and workload requirements for machinery systems and components. The target platforms of installation are primarily on U.S. Navy Surface Ships.

Industry Day will allow the Navy to discuss the various projects in an effort to enable industry partners to help strategize an approach to meeting the upcoming demand. Interested parties should look for a follow-up to this notice that will provide a detailed agenda and registration information. NSWCPD will post the presentation materials at least one day prior to the event. All briefings and discussions will be conducted at the unclassified level.

To accommodate as many parties as possible, we anticipate limiting each vendor two (2) virtual devices/registrants. NSWCPD will send registered persons a Microsoft Teams link prior to the event for audio, visual and Q&A access. For those unable to register for Microsoft Teams, NSWCPD will provide a conference call dial in number for audio access to the presentation.

The Government does not anticipate conducting any one on one meetings with interested vendors.

Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance but are not required to do so. Registered participants will be able to submit questions to the government during the event through the Microsoft Teams platform. A Q&A summary will be made available after the event for those unable to attend.

Please submit advance questions to heather.l.rhoads2.civ@us.navy.mil, while copying kimberly.j.dibartolomeo.civ@us.navy.mil and michael.b.excell.civ@us.navy.mil. Questions should include the subject line "Little Blue III Industry Day Vendor Question - [Insert Company Name] - [Insert Detail Here]". Do not include any procurement sensitive, controlled unclassified or classified information in submitted questions.

All federal contractors (large and small) that are interested in learning about these NSWCPD requirements are encouraged to attend this event. There is no cost to attend this event.
