Block Buy Meeting

Senior Navy leadership is considering the block buy procurement approach as a cost-effective method for executing Cruiser Modernization availabilities. To explore this, an initial meeting will be held with a select group of senior executives from qualified Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) contractors capable of serving as prime contractors. This session aims to gather insight from these ship repair industry leaders regarding their operational capabilities, current workloads, potential limitations, and concerns related to implementing the block buy strategy. The meeting will be conducted in accordance with FAR Section 15.201 and will involve discussions with CEOs of the invited MSRA holders. As the evaluation of the block buy strategy progresses, Navy leadership plans to conduct further meetings with other key participants in the ship repair industry at appropriate levels of authority. It is important to note that the government will not reimburse any costs incurred or any materials provided in response to this announcement. The solicitation is identified by number N00024-17-R-4427, associated with NAICS code 336611, and the point of contact for this engagement is Douglas McCreary, reachable via phone or email.
