NSRP ASE Request for Information

The NSRP Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise (ASE) is soliciting abstracts that propose project ideas focused on technological advancements or process improvements to help achieve its mission of reducing the costs associated with building and maintaining U.S. Navy ships. The program emphasizes industry-wide adoption of innovative solutions that address common cost drivers by leveraging best commercial practices, implementing new technologies, and fostering industry-specific initiatives. Projects must demonstrate clear value, promote technology transfer and acceptance across multiple U.S. shipyards, and contribute to lowering total ownership costs through reductions in both acquisition and fleet life-cycle expenses. This Request for Information (RFI), identified as RFI01_01 and posted on June 30, 2016, is unrestricted and available on the NSRP and Federal Business Opportunities websites. It may be updated to reflect evolving government and industry priorities. Submissions should align with the program’s goal of broad industry impact and cost-efficiency in naval shipbuilding. The point of contact for this opportunity is Lisa A. Fisher, Contracts Manager, who can be reached via email or phone for inquiries related to the RFI details.
