Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking information from industry regarding the manufacture of COLUMBIA-Class submarine Tailcone Kits. The government intends to use full and open competition to award a mixed Fixed-Price-Incentive-Fee (FPIF) Firm Target and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) type award for one base year and up to four one-year options. The contractor will be required to manufacture, paint, and deliver a minimum of one Tailcone Kit in the first year, with options for up to seven additional kits. The scope of work includes engineering services, manufacturing, and delivery of the Tailcone Kits. Some key points to consider: * The government anticipates making a future acquisition determination based on responses received from both small and large businesses. * The contractor will be required to provide a final certification package and meet all requirements specified in the applicable references. * The contractor will be required to allow seven business days after completion of the last coat of paint for on-site government inspection. * The contractor may be required to perform engineering services in support of COLUMBIA Class Propulsor related design review, design change, or other engineering-related tasking.

Budget estimate

$80,000,000 – $160,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific dollar amount. However, considering the scope of work and the fact that the government is seeking to manufacture up to eight Tailcone Kits, the budget could be substantial. Assuming an average cost of $10 million to $20 million per kit, the total budget for the base year and all options could range from $80 million to $160 million. This is a rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower, depending on various factors such as the complexity of the work, the materials required, and the labor costs.
