Description
The U.S. Navy is seeking market research and technical input on the transport, dismantlement, de‑militarization, and disposal of the defueled ex‑Long Beach (CGN 9) nuclear‑powered aircraft carrier. Respondents will provide capability statements, cost estimates, and plans for dry‑transport, radiological work, hazardous‑waste handling, and final disposal, all within the United States and in compliance with NRC, OSHA, and Navy security requirements.
• Transport the 427‑ft, 8,800‑ton carrier from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to a U.S. dismantlement facility using heavy‑lift or submersible barge (no open‑ocean tow).
• Prepare and obtain NRC‑approved Decommissioning Work Plans, manage radiological and hazardous‑material removal, and dispose of low‑level radioactive waste at licensed sites.
• Provide detailed security, CMMC, and citizenship controls for personnel accessing propulsion plant areas and U‑NNPI data.
• Deliver extensive reporting (monthly progress, data items, final certification) and support public‑outreach coordination with the Navy.
• Offer optional scrap‑sale provisions to offset contract costs and meet performance‑bond requirements (20 % of contract value).
