AI Contract Overview

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to issue a Request for Proposal to General Dynamics NASSCO and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated for continued industry involvement in the LX(R) Amphibious Ship Replacement program. These contracts focus on design engineering services, potential test sample fabrication, and special studies aimed at improving affordability in ship design, construction, and total ownership costs. The effort builds on existing contracts with these two shipyards, extending their scope through fiscal year 2016. Both companies are uniquely qualified as the only U.S. shipyards equipped with the necessary facilities and resources to design and build a large deck amphibious ship of this size. Modifications to the contracts will be awarded without full and open competition, based on statutory authority that limits exceptions to responsible sources capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements. The goal is to engage shipbuilding industry insights to identify major cost drivers and opportunities for cost reduction or avoidance, refining cost estimates accordingly. While this notice serves only as an informational pre-solicitation and is not a commitment to issue a solicitation or award contracts, interested subcontractors are encouraged to reach out directly to the prime contractors. Any future solicitations will be publicly announced, and the government will not reimburse contractors for costs incurred in response to this pre-solicitation.
