Waterborne Security Barrier 2.0

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking information from qualified sources capable of designing, manufacturing, and installing a Waterborne Security Barrier (WSB) system to protect U.S. Navy ports worldwide from surface and subsurface threats. The system must withstand environmental forces, vessel impacts, currents, tides, and storm conditions. The envisioned contract scope includes system design and engineering, material procurement and fabrication, delivery to Navy waterfront locations, installation and site integration, testing, manuals, training, and documentation, warranty, and sustainment support. • The Navy anticipates procuring new barrier systems that leverage commercial practices to the maximum extent. • The Government seeks to maximize commercial practices and leverage existing commercial designs wherever possible. • Industry feedback on where requirements align or diverge from commercial standards is highly encouraged. • The Navy has a long-term requirement to replace WSB systems at over two dozen sites worldwide, with the majority of these sites located within the Continental U.S. (CONUS). • The Government anticipates procuring these systems at a rate of approximately one to two sites per year.
