USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) Pre-Solicitation
This synopsis announces an upcoming procurement for the USS Makin Island (LHD 8) FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability, a ~19-month Chief of Naval Operations availability expected to run from November 2027 to June 2029, with contract award anticipated around March 2027. The resulting firm-fixed-price supply contract will procure a repaired, mission-ready ship, requiring a highly capable contractor with substantial resources to coordinate and integrate ship maintenance, repair, and modernization, including labor, production, testing, and quality assurance. Because the availability exceeds 18 months, the Navy will compete the acquisition on a West Coast-wide basis rather than limiting performance to the ship's homeport. The solicitation will be issued electronically via PIEE, and interested firms must monitor PIEE and SAM.gov and be registered in SAM's Solicitation Module to be eligible for award. This synopsis is for information only and does not commit the government to issue a solicitation or accept proposals.
