This is a sources sought announcement in accordance with FAR 15.201 in anticipation of a potential Request for Proposals (RFP). This notice updates the original 4-ship announcement and changes the announcement to a potential 2-ship package. NAVSEA is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing the FY19 Modernization Period (MODPRD) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability for the USS VICKSBURG (CG 69) and the FY20 Modernization Period (MODPRD) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability for the USS ANZIO (CG 68). A Government provided outline of the anticipated work under the expected MODPRD Availabilities was included with the original 4-ship sources sought announcement. Please see the original posting for details. The purpose of this market research is to inform how the two availabilities may be solicited and to determine industry interest in proposing for these availabilities. - NAVSEA may compete both availabilities under a single solicitation on a coast-wide (East & Gulf Coasts) basis. The FY19 USS VICKSBURG (CG 69) MODPRD would be the base work package in the resultant contract, and the FY20 USS ANZIO (CG 68) MODPRD work package would be an option in the resultant contract. - The anticipated contract type for each of the availabilities will be fixed price. - The anticipated RFP may potentially be released by 30 November 2018.
