Description
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing the FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) availability of the USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) under a homeport-restricted (West Coast) solicitation. The work includes dry-dock and pier-side maintenance, repair, and alterations anticipated to be 11/15/2027 – 06/19/2029. The contract type will be firm-fixed price.
Some key points to consider:
• The Government is seeking responses from sources that can perform the required work.
• The availability is the second ship in an acquisition initiative pilot for early award called “Signature Availability,” targeting an A-240 contract award.
• The SA strategy is designed to increase the coordinated planning between industry and the Navy maintenance team to reduce the impact of unplanned work once execution starts.
• Companies that already possess a current NAVSEA Tier 1 Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) and Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) should submit a notice of interest.
• Interested Small Businesses and any Company that does not already possess a NAVSEA Tier 1 Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) and Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) should submit a notice of interest with additional information.
