SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM 4) FY22 Docking Service Craft Overhaul (DSCO)

The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a solicitation, N00024-20-R-4309, for a firm-fixed price contract for the execution of the FY-22 Dry-Docking Service Craft (DSCO) Availability of the SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM-4) under NAICS 336611. The anticipated contract is considered a supply-type contract. The supply being procured is the overhauled, mission-ready vessel, which is returned to service with the United States Navy Fleet. Medium auxiliary repair dock SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM 4), homeport Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, CT, has a planned FY22 DSCO availability from February to August 2022 to accomplish maintenance, modernization, and repair tasks. This will be a short-term availability of approximately seven (7) months. (10 U.S.C. - 8669a defines a short-term availability as less than ten (10) months in duration.)
