NAVSEA HQ is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price contract to prepare, transport, dismantle, de-militarize, and dispose of the ex-Long Beach (CGN 9) cruiser and its defueled reactor plants. The scope of work involves moving the vessel from PSNS&IMF in Bremerton, Washington, to a contractor-selected disposal site. The contractor is responsible for all personnel, equipment, and facilities, ensuring strict compliance with NRC radiological regulations, DOT requirements, and hazardous waste laws. Key deliverables include a decommissioning work plan, transportation and tow plans, and various certifications for demilitarization and hazardous material disposal. The period of performance is scheduled from April 1, 2027, to September 30, 2032.
Award will be based on a best-value tradeoff between past performance and price, provided the technical and management approach is deemed acceptable. The pricing structure includes firm-fixed-price CLINs for transport and dismantlement, a non-separately priced CLIN, and a three million dollar incentive fee for radiological regulatory compliance. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, the contract mandates strict protection of Unclassified Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (U-NNPI) in accordance with NN-801 and NIST SP 800-171. Additionally, key personnel must be U.S. citizens, and the contractor must provide a 20 percent performance bond before taking possession of the vessel.
