ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES IN THE AREAS OF SUBMARINE AND SURFACE SURVIVABILITY AND UNDERWATER EXPLOSION (UNDEX) RESPONSE

The contract pertains to engineering and technical services focused on naval submarine and surface ship survivability, as well as underwater explosion (UNDEX) response. Originally solicited under number N00167-01-R-0067 in October 2001, this solicitation has been cancelled due to reduced tasking. The Department of Defense’s Naval Surface Warfare Center in Carderock, Maryland, is responsible for these services. Instead of proceeding with the initial solicitation, the work will be re-advertised under a new solicitation number N00167-02-R-0032 at a future date. The contract details indicate that the scope involves technical expertise aimed at enhancing the survivability of naval vessels against underwater threats. Although some key specifics such as NAICS codes or set-aside types are not provided, the contracting office maintains oversight from Bethesda, Maryland. The cancellation suggests a reevaluation of project requirements, leading to a delay in procurement as the effort is adjusted to reflect updated tasking priorities.
