NOTICE: THIS PRESOLICITATION NOTICE IS FOR WORK PREVIOUSLY SYNOPZIED ON 21 AUGUST 2009 UNDER N00033-09-R-7504. THIS NOTICE IS FOR AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO THE PREVIOUS SOLE SOURCE SOLICITATION. IN THE EVENT THAT AN AWARD WILL BE MADE UNDER N00033-09-R-7504 THIS PRESOLICTATION NOTICE WILL BE CANCELLED WITHOUT A SOLICITATION OR AWARD. POTENTAL OFFERORS WHO EXPRESS INTEREST UNDER THIS SYNOPSIS WILL BE NOTIFIED IN THE EVENT THIS SYNOPSIS IS CANCELLED. The Military Sealift Command will be assuming operation of the USS FRANK CABLE (AS 40), a submarine tender, in February 2010. In March 2010, the FANK CABLE will undergo an extensive availability to modify the ship for MSC operation. The FRANK CABLE is homeported in Guam; therefore the availability is planned to be accomplished in Guam. This presolicitation notice is to advise industry of MSC's intent to possibly issue multiple contracts for the AS 40 CIVMOD. The Military Sealift Command previously advertised and solicited this work as an Other Than Full and Open Competition under the Class Justification and Approval (J&A) to Guam Shipyard. Military Sealift Command is considering FULL AND OPEN COMPETION as an alternative to the presolictation announcement of N00033-09-R-7504 on 21 August 2009. MSC plans to solicit proposals for work on separate lots to be performed by one or more contractors. The solicitation will be a single solicitation with possibility of multiple awardees for separate work lots. The solicitation is planned to be released in January. Please see Market Survey labeled - Top Side Availability for USS Frank Cable in GUAM on MSC's webpage for additional information.
