The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting market research to determine the existence of a multi-mission or auxiliary supply vessel possessing the characteristics in the RFI attachment. Consideration will be given to proven designs with proposed design modifications to meet the characteristics in the RFI attachment. Consideration will also be given to proven designs that have most of the characteristics if all cannot be met.

As a part of the response to this RFI, interested sources should indicate in the provided matrix which characteristics can and cannot be met. Interested sources are encouraged to propose delivery schedules that can realistically be achieved. It is anticipated that one (1) vessel that complies with 10 U.S.C 8679 will be procured.
