Pearl Harbor MSMO for FFG/DDG/CG Class Ships Solicitation: TBD Agency: Department of the Navy Office: Naval Sea Systems Command This is a sources sought announcement in anticipation of a potential future procurement program. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing maintenance, repair, and alterations of FFG 7, DDG 51 and CG 47 class ships homeported in and visiting Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The Government seeks responses from any source interested in performing the aforementioned work beginning at contract award (anticipated in early calendar year 2013) and continuing for a period of performance of 5 years. Non-docking availabilities will be at Naval Station Pearl Harbor and docking availabilities will be at the Naval Station Pearl Harbor Dry Dock. As part of its market research, the Government is interested in determining under what circumstances potential sources that currently don’t have a significant presence within of the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii homeport area could be interested in competing for the MSMO contract for FFG/DDG/CG Class Ships in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii? NAVSEA intends to procure execution planning, ship repair, modernization, and inter-availability maintenance (continuous and emergent maintenance) of FFG 7, DDG 51 and CG 47 class ships in the homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, utilizing Multi-Ship Multi-Option (MSMO) contracting. MSMO contracts target efficient and effective maintenance practices by allowing the executing agency the ability to better plan its work and take advantage of best repair capabilities. They provide long-term vendor relationships throughout ships' training/ deployment/ maintenance/ modernization cycles. In order to reduce costs through the benefits of advanced planning, MSMO contracts allow the contractor to respond to continuous and emergent maintenance requirements on short notice, and as the contractor is intimately involved with both the planning and execution, less time is spent evaluating prospective jobs. The MSMO contractor can also respond on short notice to voyage repairs required on deployed ships, giving the Navy the option of using the homeport-based contractors vice a foreign source, if needed. MSMO contracts cover repair and overhaul requirements for an entire ship class, or classes, and are awarded to a prime contractor for a base year, plus several option years. The MSMO contract provides continuity for planning and maintenance processes for Navy ships and the private sector teams awarded the work.
