The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement for the services and supplies of materials, services and documentation necessary to receive, evaluate, inspect, maintain, disassemble, repair, overhaul, refurbish, assemble and test the Airborne Mine Neutralization System – Archerfish (AMNS – AF).
