Tender Details
This notice is a synopsis and does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), Port Hueneme, California intends to issue a request for proposal (RFP) under solicitation number N3943026R4001 for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), single award contract. The work involved includes operation, maintenance and repair of the Motor Vessel Independence (M/V Independence) which is owned by NAVFAC EXWC. NAVFAC EXWC is responsible for providing Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) of undersea surveillance systems, load handling systems, acoustic array systems, cable system components, cable and system survivability studies, installation methods, test vessel support, and training range establishment and maintenance. NAVFAC EXWC is also tasked with assisting other Government agencies with ocean vessel support, oceanographic surveys, environmental data collection, naval exercises, tests, range area support, and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) operations. The M/V INDEPENDENCE is the primary vessel used in support of these operations and is typically berthed at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme CA. It is expected that the contractor-s services will be rendered primarily in the coastal waters of California, Oregon, and Washington. However, prosecution of voyages in other areas, or temporary berthing at other Government and commercial ports, both domestic and foreign, may be required. More details of the requirement can be found in the attached Performance Work Statement.
