This RFI shall not be construed as a solicitation, request for proposal, request for quote, or as an obligation on the part of the Government. This announcement may or may not translate into an actual procurement(s) in future years. There is no funding associated with this announcement. The Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. Third party support contractors providing support to the DDG 51 program may have access to the submitted material/information. Any response to this RFI shall constitute consent to allow access to the submitted material/information by third party support contractors supporting the DDG 51 program. DESCRIPTION SUMMARY Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) is issuing an RFI as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest and the capability to accomplish potentially three (3) DDG 51 PSAs in the homeport of Pearl Harbor, HI. PSAs encompasses the correction of Government responsible trial card deficiencies, completion of new work identified between ship custody transfer and the start of PSA, the incorporation of approved engineering changes, and other work items as required by the Government. The magnitude, scope, and complexity of PSAs vary significantly from one PSA to the next since PSA work items are often identified during test and evaluation periods happening just immediately prior to the PSA, among other factors that might influence the work scope. DDG 51 PSAs typically include additional work scope that is performed by Alteration Installation Teams (AITs) and other outside activities. PSAs are normally accomplished within a period of approximately 16 weeks, but could vary depending on the size of the work package for a given PSA. PSA start and end dates vary with the actual ship delivery schedule and the below projections will likely change. The current projected schedule for the three PSAs are as follows: DDG 118 Estimated PSA Start - January 2022 Estimated PSA End Date - April 2022 DDG 120 Estimated PSA Start - January 2023 Estimated PSA End Date - April 2023 DDG 121 Estimated PSA Start - June 2022 Estimated PSA End Date - September 2022 The contractor is expected to provide the necessary program management in order to adequately manage, integrate, and support the entire PSA work scope, including that work scope that is not the responsibility of the contractor to perform. In support of this, a resource-loaded Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that provides for accomplishment of the total availability work package, including AIT and other outside activity installation modifications will be required. It is anticipated that the PSAs will be conducted pier side at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The contractor may be expected to provide the following facilities in support of the PSAs: warehouse/storage facilities to accommodate Government Furnished Material, and Equipment, indoor and outdoor production facilities capable of performing marine pre-fabrication, repair, and machining onsite. Secure, environmentally controlled facilities should be available for combat systems and electronics equipment. Government office space may be necessary for the PSA team. Contractor shall complete work and provide access in a manner which affords Government activities, such as the Naval Supervisory Authority, to certify the PSA work performed. An early draft of the solicitation was provided with the previous RFI announcement on 25 September 2019 and is still publicly available for review. The purpose of the draft RFP is to help better inform interested parties of the requirements. Please note that this draft RFP may change considerably, if and when, a final RFP is released since it is an early draft.
