USS PORTLAND (LPD-27) FY23 Selected Restricted Availability (SRA)   4

The Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) intends to issue a solicitation on 20 May 2022 for the execution of the USS PORTLAND (LPD-27) Selected Restricted Availability (SRA), scheduled to begin 14 DEC 2022 and end 08 NOV 2023 . Upon a contractor's completion of this Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability, the ship shall be capable of carrying out its respective mission with a reasonable expectation of maintaining a satisfactory condition of readiness until the next CNO-scheduled depot availability.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS) will guide the acquisition. The anticipated contract, like all other CNO-scheduled depot Availabilities, is a supply contract. The supply that would be proccured is a repaired, mission-ready ship, which shall be returned to service with the Fleet.

The anticipated scope of the procurement includes all labor, supervision, production, testing, and quality assurance necessary to prepare for and accomplish this CNO Availability. This CNO Availability is expect to require a highly capable contractor with substantial human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair, and modernization.

The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requires that full and open competition be used to the maximum extent practicable. 10 USC 7299a allows for the limitation of competition for "short term" Availabilities (10 months or less) to the homeport, provided there is adequate competition. Given that this Availability will be greater than 10 months in duration, the Navy will compete the acquisition on a coast-wide basis, without limiting the place of performance to the ship's homeport.

The solicitation will issue electronically via SAM.gov and interested parties must comply with the announcement. Interested offerors should monitor SAM.gov for the release of the solicitation, and applicable amendments. Offerors shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to participate in this procurement. SAM.gov is the single point of entry for posting of the synopsis and solicitations to the internet. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency.

This is not a request for proposal.

The Government anticipates issuing a single award on or around 01 SEP 2022.

Place of Performance: Contractor Facilities; West Coast, USA
