24M-55M Patrol Boat RFI

Materials submitted in response to this Request for Information (RFI) will be reviewed by PEO SHIPS (PMS325) in order to develop a general characterization of previously constructed Patrol Boats (PBs) in the 24-meter to 55-meter overall length (Loa). PEO SHIPS' (PMS325) analysis of submitted materials is to increase the visibility of previously built PBs to those customer countries with an interest in the US Government's Security Assistance Programs. Materials provided will become the baseline information/data in the coordinate efforts between PEO SHIPS (PMS325), Combatant Commands (COCOM), Navy International Program Office (Navy IPO) and customer countries regarding potential future Security Assistance (SA) efforts. These coordinated efforts will assist the COCOMs and their customer countries in determining what surface combatant vessel requirements could successfully be achieved through a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Case. It is important that respondents segregate materials submitted under this RFI into two (2) compact discs (CDs): 1. The first CD shall be public domain materials (e.g. marketing information) about a suggested PB and its supplier.
