The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is issuing solicitation N00024-23-R-4435 for the award of the Northwest Regional Maintenance Center (NWRMC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity-Multiple Award Contracts (IDIQ-MACs) for Emergent Maintenance (EM), Continuous Maintenance (CM), and short-term (10 months or less in duration) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) scheduled availabilities. This solicitation is for the procurement of maintenance, repair and modernization of non-nuclear surface ships (including DDGs, CGs, LCSs, LPDs, LSDs, LHAs, LHDs, PCs, MCMs, and FFGs) and may result in multiple contracts. Each contract will include five (5) one-year ordering periods. This solicitation is for a Firm Fixed Price type, supply contract with incidental service elements. The supply being procured is the repaired, mission-ready vessel, which is returned to service within the Fleet.

The requirement includes docking and non-docking CNO scheduled availabilities less than 10 months in production duration, CM, and EM ship availabilities that may include work on shipboard critical systems on vessels homeported in or vesting Everett, WA.

The Availability requirements are structured into two categories: Critical and Non-Critical.

• Critical (Lot 1) - EM/CM includes work on critical systems. Lot 1 also includes short-term CNO availabilities. Due to the nature of critical systems and the likelihood of urgent requirements with critical EM, the Government will require contractors with the capability and capacity to respond immediately to critical technical requirements. It is anticipated that this work would be available under full and open competition. However, if it is determined that two (2) or more small businesses are interested and capable of completing the scope of work under any given delivery order, contracting officers may use their discretion to restrict competition to small businesses.

• Non-Critical (Lot 2) - - EM/CM does not include work on critical systems, but will include systems and equipment requiring work certification. The scope of non-critical contract actions is expected to require less contractor capabilities, both in human resources and facilities. This Lot will be a small business set aside. In the event that there is no interest expressed for any given delivery order, this work may be competed under Lot 1.
