Solicitation # N0002426R4412
The Naval Sea Systems Command is soliciting proposals for the Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) of the USS JOHN P MURTHA (LPD 26), a complex shipyard availability requiring comprehensive maintenance, modernization, and repair work across multiple ship systems. This procurement is planned as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract and is being conducted on a coast-wide basis along the West Coast, with no set-aside for small businesses due to market research indicating insufficient qualified small business capacity under FAR 19.502-2(b). The scope encompasses approximately 158,000 man-days of maintenance and 26,000 man-days of modernization, including critical work on the hull structure, propulsion plant, electric plant, command and surveillance systems, auxiliary systems, outfitting, and armament. Major modernization projects involve upgrades to the SSDG seawater piping system and the central fresh water system, while maintenance tasks include ballast tank preservation, structural repairs to decks and bulkheads, overhaul of ship’s service diesel generators, radar and mast replacements, non-skid surface restoration, and cargo/elevator repairs. The contractor must have substantial facilities capable of accommodating a San Antonio-class LPD, with minimum pier requirements of 684 feet in length, 33 feet of water draft, 8000 amps of 450-volt three-phase electrical capacity, 9500 gallons per day of potable water, 1250 gallons per minute of sea water at 150 PSI, and capacity to handle 10,000 gallons per day each of sewage and wastewater. Technical capability must include seasoned personnel skilled in structural welding, piping, electrical, and ventilation trades to coordinate and integrate overlapping work areas under a detailed integrated production schedule that accounts for Alteration Installation Teams, ship force work, and long lead time material procurement. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) to be eligible. All solicitation documents are issued electronically through PIEE, and prospective bidders are required to monitor both PIEE.gov and SAM.gov for updates and amendments.
