J--Worldwide Waterborne Hull Cleaning, Inspection, Repair and Associated Ship Husbandry

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to issue a bridge extension to the existing contract N00024-02-D-4001 with Seaward Marine Services, Inc. This extension is intended to ensure seamless continuation of services involving worldwide waterborne hull cleaning, inspection, repair, and related ship husbandry tasks while a new competitive contract is being finalized. The extension will begin on June 1, 2009, and will last for up to five months or until the successor contract is awarded, whichever happens first. This temporary measure guarantees that critical maintenance and repair operations on naval ships will not face interruptions during the transition period between contracts. Seaward Marine Services, based in Fairfax, Virginia, will continue performing these specialized services under the current terms. For any correspondence or inquiries related to this extension, Mr. Tom Higgins is the designated point of contact and can be reached via email. The overarching goal is to maintain operational readiness and support for naval vessels worldwide without delay.
