Code 1535 maintains the Navy's hydrophone inventory in large part by establishing contract vehicles to procure hydrophones that are delivered both to the stock system to support emergent fleet needs and to new construction shipyards for initial outfitting. NUWCDIVNPT has a requirement to establish a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) production contract, on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis, for DT-511C and DT-592D Hydrophones and spare parts in order to replenish and maintain adequate inventory to support fleet needs. The work to be performed under this contract is for a manufacturer to design, document, manufacture, test, package and deliver up to three (3) DT-511C and up to three (3) DT-592D First Article Hydrophones, and up to 650 production hydrophones that meet the performance requirements of the respective DT-511C and DT-592D hydrophone Critical Item Performance Specification (CIPS). This requirement also includes the manufacture, testing, packaging and delivery of up to 100 each of build-to-print DT-511C and DT-592D hydrophone spare parts items in accordance with the respective drawings. III. SPECIFIC INFORMATION OF INTEREST NUWCDIVNPT is seeking information on industry’s capability to provide DT-511C and DT-592D Hydrophones based on a build-to-performance specification approach and DT-511C and DT-592D Hydrophones spare parts based on a build-to-print approach. This notice also provides industry with the opportunity to ask questions and suggest an alternative approach for the Navy to solicit these items. IV.
