AI Contract Overview

The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to contract the design and conversion overhaul of the USNS CAPABLE (T-AGOS-16) to support advanced ocean exploration missions. The project involves transforming the vessel into a multi-mission platform equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including installation of a multi-beam sonar system for deep water mapping, a dynamic positioning system with propulsion upgrades, handling systems and deck modifications for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations, broadband satellite transmission capabilities, oceanographic winches, and new laboratory and workspace configurations. Additionally, habitability spaces will be rearranged, and other ship systems will be overhauled based on their condition assessments. The design phase is expected to be completed within 6 to 8 months with ongoing design reviews, followed by a 12 to 15-month conversion period. This procurement is anticipated to be a 100% small business set-aside, requiring interested contractors to be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) and possess a Dun & Bradstreet number before award. The solicitation is managed out of NOAA’s office in Seattle, Washington, and further information or inquiries can be directed to Contracting Officer Paul Reed. The contract aims to deliver a versatile research vessel capable of supporting cutting-edge oceanographic exploration efforts with enhanced technological and operational capabilities.

Full Description

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the conversion design and overhaul/conversion of USNS CAPABLE (T-AGOS -16) to support a NOAA ocean exploration mission. NOAA intends to issue an RFP in March 2005 soliciting industry competition for performing a contract-level conversion design and overhaul/conversion of the vessel. This vessel will be a versatile platform enabling multi-mission capability with cutting edge research and development in ocean exploration. Modifications for ocean exploration may include: Installation of a multi-beam sonar system for deep water ocean mapping - Installation of a dynamic positioning system and modification/upgrade of the ship's propulsion system to support dynamic positioning - Installation of handling system(s) for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations and modification to the aft deck to support ROV operations - Installation of a satellite dish and electronics to support broadband satellite transmission of optical data - Installation of oceanographic winches and J-frame - Installation of new laboratory and work spaces - Rearrangement of existing habitability spaces Overhaul of other ship systems and components will also be required based on condition assessment. The conversion design will be completed within a 6-8 month timeframe with drawings and data available for the government's evaluation at periodic design reviews throughout this step. The conversion of the vessel is expected to cover a twelve (12) to fifteen (15) month performance period during which the contractor will execute the vessel's conversion design. It is anticipated this requirement will be 100% set-aside for small business.
