This is a sources sought announcement in accordance with FAR 15.201 and DFARS 210.001 in anticipation of a potential future procurement program. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in providing planning and scheduling, ship repair, modernization, and inter-availability maintenance (continuous (CMAV) and emergent maintenance). This will include dry-docking (using a using a MIL-STD-1625D (SH) NAVSEA-certified drydock) and pier-side maintenance, material support, Alteration Installation Team (AIT)/ Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) coordination and facilities, as required to accomplish the required maintenance and modernization onboard the DDG 1000 class ships homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This procurement would also include support for voyage repairs and other support in other CONUS and OCONUS locations. Due to the highly specialized nature of the DDG 1000 Class and the limited number of vessels in the fleet, a SA IDIQ is anticipated to be the most practical and efficient contracting method. It ensures the government maintains technical continuity, minimizes training and transition costs, and supports accelerated readiness timelines. Due to the technical complexity and stringent requirements of the DDG 1000 Class ships, awarding to a contractor with proven expertise ensures consistent technical proficiency, enables streamlined planning for labor and material across multiple task orders, and minimizes startup delays. This approach reduces risks associated with contractor unfamiliarity and supports alignment with this unique class’s long-term lifecycle support strategy. The Government seeks responses from any source interested in performing the aforementioned work beginning at contract award (anticipated in 4th Quarter FY 2026) and continuing for a period of performance up to 5 years, under a SA IDIQ contract. Non-docking availabilities will be at the Naval Station Pearl Harbor and docking availabilities will be at the Naval Station Pearl Harbor Dry Dock. Separate from this anticipated contract, a Planning Yard will manage a comprehensive process for work specification development and selected material procurement to support the CMAV and Emergent Work for DDG 1000 (ZUMWALT). Interested sources will be required to liaise with the Planning Yard. As part of its market research, the Government is also interested in determining all sources interested in competing for the SA IDIQ contract for the DDG 1000 class ships homeported in Hawaii including those potential sources that do not currently have a significant presence within the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii homeport area. This will be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract under the cognizance of NAVSEA.
