The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Undersea Special Mission Systems Office (PMS390) is hosting an industry day to discuss operations, maintenance, and modernization of the US Navy's Submarine Rescue System (SRS) and maintenance of in-service Dry Deck Shelters (DDS). The intention of this event is to provide industry an overview of the anticipated operations, maintenance, modernization, and support requirements for these assets. The Navy is interested in understanding industry perspectives and innovative ideas in achieving the best balance of capabilities and cost for the requirements. The Government intends to issue multiple solicitations for development, procurement, maintenance, and life-cycle support services in support of these programs and anticipates releasing formal Request for Proposals (RFP) in FY24/FY25. The formal RFPs are anticipated to be released on the Solicitation module in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) at https://piee.eb.mil/. PIEE will interface with www.SAM.gov. Mission & Vision PMS390 sustains our nation's elite underwater warriors. We deliver unmatched capability that enables mission accomplishment and survival in the most extreme conditions. PMS390 combined with our industry partners will create a specialized team of trusted professionals delivering relevant capability on-time and in-line with Fleet needs. Overview Requirement #1 - Submarine Rescue Operations and Maintenance Program, NAICS: 336611, PSC: J099 The U.S. Navy's SRS is located at the Undersea Rescue Command, Naval Base Coronado, San Diego, CA. The SRS is a highly portable and mobile submarine rescue and recompression system capable of transferring personnel from a Distressed Submarine (DISSUB) under pressure from depths up to 2,000 feet seawater. The SRS is composed of the Assessment/Underwater Work System (AUWS), the Submarine Decompression System (SDS) and the Pressurized Rescue Module System (PRMS). The AUWS is composed of the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), and Side Looking Sonar (SILOS). The AUWS also mobilizes with the Light Weight Mooring System (LWMS). The SRS is able to be deployed with the SDS to provide the Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) capability. The SRS is further comprised of ancillary support and connectivity equipment in order to effect different phases of submarine rescue operations. The COMNAVSUBFOR OPORD 2137 provides a concept of operations representative of a submarine rescue scenario. The intent of the scenario is to establish a general understanding of the expected roles of submarine rescue equipment and personnel during operations for preparing a staffing plan, employee call-out list, transportation and Mother Ship (MOSHIP)/Vessel of Opportunity (VOOs) database, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that meet the mission requirements of submarine rescue. PMS390 is also investing in submarine rescue system modernization technology areas to support the modernization of the Submarine Rescue System, for instance micro-electronics redesign, integrated cross deck communications, acoustic positioning systems, and launch and recovery systems. The Submarine Rescue Operations Maintenance Contractor (SROMC) will perform operations, maintenance and repairs services primarily at the Undersea Rescue Command, San Diego CA; however, the SROMC shall also be capable of providing sufficient operational, technical, logistic and program coordination services necessary to support multi-day 24 hours cycle rapid worldwide deployment rescue/training events ensuring appropriate and sufficient material, qualified personnel, and support services are available, as required by the CO URC to support two stand-alone watch stations/shifts (13 hours each to allow for watch turn over) at all times. The SROMC is maintained in accordance with Deep Submergence System Scope of Certification Requirements and requires vendors be listed on NAVSEA Notice 5000. Requirement #2 - Dry Deck Shelters (DDS), NAICS: 336611, PSC: J020 The DDS program consists of six DDSs that are operated by the US Navy. A DDS is a portable module that mates with specially modified host submarines in order to allow divers and other personnel to enter and exit the DDS while the host submarine is submerged. The DDS is made up of a spherical hyperbaric chamber, a spherical transfer trunk, and a cylindrical hangar with an ellipsoidal door at the aft end to allow entry and exit to the ocean. Offerors will conduct periodic maintenance and overhauls, emergent repairs, and design, kit, and install configuration changes. Additionally, Offerors will fit-up DDSs to host submarines, maintain a DDS rotatable pool spare parts program; and maintain training closure and hatch assemblies, transporters, and host submarine interface systems. Dry Deck Shelters are maintained in accordance with Deep Submergence System Scope of Certification Requirements and require vendors be listed on NAVSEA Notice 5000. The contractor will perform maintenance services and repairs primarily at the contractor's facility; however, the contractor may also perform maintenance at one of two shore-based maintenance facilities in Pearl City, HI or Virginia Beach, VA. There is a potential for maintenance and repair activities to be conducted at the submarine homeport locations in Pearl Harbor, HI; Groton, CT; Kings Bay, GA; and Bremerton, WA, as well as at specific OCONUS designated maintenance locations. Schedule: The Navy intends to conduct an industry day on May 16th, 2024, beginning at 0830. The event will be hosted by NAVSEA and KMS Solutions/Serco, the Team Submarine support contractors. The industry day will be held at KMS Solutions/Serco's office, located at 1100 New Jersey Ave., SE, No. 200, Washington, DC 20003.
