Engineering Design Services

The Military Sealift Command, under the Department of Defense, issued solicitation N1023-12-003 to secure contracted engineering design services. This sources-sought effort aimed to identify qualified vendors capable of providing specialized support in marine engineering, naval architecture, electrical and electronics engineering, maintenance engineering, shipboard testing and inspections, and failure analysis. The procurement was structured to allow for the issuance of task orders to multiple vendors as specific work requirements emerged. Managed by the office in Norfolk, Virginia, the initiative included a market survey and request for information to evaluate industry capabilities and determine the feasibility of small business set-asides. The scope of work, outlined in a draft Performance Work Statement, focused on comprehensive mechanical and electronic engineering design to support MSC operations. Interested parties were required to submit their responses by November 18, 2011, to assist the government in finalizing its procurement strategy under NAICS code 541330.
