MTS 711 Ship-Alt SSN 4709K

The USS San Francisco (SSN 711) will be converted from an active submarine to a Moored Training Ship (MTS 711) as part of a combined Engineered Overhaul and Conversion project at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary tooling, personnel, equipment, and materials to complete the Ship-Alt SSN 4709 K work package, which includes handling and packaging radiological waste and coordinating space turnover with the ship’s crew. The contractor must develop a detailed plan and schedule, ensuring effective collaboration with both the shipyard and ship’s force throughout the process. The work involves operating on a nuclear system and will take place from December 2017 through September 2018, with on-board execution planned between May and September 2018, although specific dates have yet to be determined. Norfolk Naval Shipyard will support by providing temporary services and material disposal for the tasks performed. The contract highlights adherence to stringent safety and coordination requirements given the sensitive nature of the nuclear system and radiological material management. Key points of contact for the contract include the contracting officer and administrative personnel responsible for facilitating communication and oversight during the project.
