Description
This consolidation notice announces the Navy’s decision to combine multiple submarine maintenance and repair requirements into a single Indefinite‑Delivery‑Indefinite‑Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple‑Award Contract (MAC). The IDIQ will cover seven functional areas—preservation, structural/NDT, shipboard work, electrical services, fire/tank watch, component repair, and engineering/technical support—across eight major shipyards and bases that service both SSBN and SSGN submarines. The contract is valued at an aggregate ceiling of $2.69 billion, with a 4‑year base period and up to three one‑year options (maximum 7 years). Lot 2 (Non‑Critical) is fully set aside for small businesses, while Lot 1 (Critical) will have small‑business subcontracting plans. The consolidation is justified under FAR 7.107‑2/‑3 for measurable benefits in quality, schedule, standardized terms, and cost efficiency, aiming to reduce acquisition cycle time by up to 12 months and streamline delivery‑order lead times to approximately six months.
• Scope: Preservation, NDT, shipboard labor, electrical, safety watch, component repair, engineering support for submarine availabilities.
• Geography: Work performed at Norfolk, Puget Sound, Pearl Harbor, Portsmouth, Trident Refit Facilities (Kings Bay & Bangor), New London, and Point Loma.
• Financials: $2.69 B ceiling; Lot 2 set‑aside for small businesses (11 small firms identified).
• Period: 4‑year base + three optional 1‑year extensions (up to 7 years).
• Rationale: Improves quality, reduces cycle time, standardizes terms, and sends a strong demand signal to the submarine industrial base.
