Tender Details
This is a sources sought announcement in accordance with FAR 10.001 and DFARS 210.001 in anticipation of a potential future procurement program. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing the FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) availability of the USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) under a homeport-restricted (West Coast) solicitation. NAVSEA is especially interested in determining small business capability and interest.
The Government is seeking responses from sources that can perform dry-dock and pier-side maintenance, repair, and alterations anticipated to be 11/15/2027 - 06/19/2029 (subject to change).
This availability is the second ship in an acquisition initiative pilot for early award called “Signature Availability, ” targeting an A-240 contract award. Signature Availability (SA) refers to a longer complex availability that will benefit from early contract award yielding an extended period of planning, material procurement, and industry coordination. The SA strategy is designed to increase the coordinated planning between industry and the Navy maintenance team to reduce the impact of unplanned work once execution starts. Benefits of this strategy include a longer runway for the awarded contractor to build the Integrated Production Schedule (IPS) / resource loaded schedule, engage with sub-contractors for increased integration, and address issues early prior to start of execution.
Signature Availability Pilot Milestone (Sample)
Initial Proposals Received from Offerors: A-375

The Government has provided an outline of some of the work anticipated to be completed under the expected FY28 DSRA as an enclosure to this sources sought document (see Enclosure (1)). The anticipated contract type will be firm-fixed price.
