- Description
- The Office of Naval Research intends to solicit for requests for proposal for the Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) of Excellence. This announcement is a synopsis of the requirement. The Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program, managed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), provides a mechanism for the development of enabling manufacturing technology and for implementation of this technology for the production, repair, and maintenance of Navy weapon systems to support the Fleet. The program is aimed at achieving affordability in weapon systems acquisition by inserting manufacturing process solutions early in acquisition to reduce life-cycle costs, improve schedules, and ensure quality. For the past eight years, the Navy ManTech Program has been focused on affordability improvements for key acquisition platforms. Currently, ManTech is focused on affordability improvements for the VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS) / OHIO Replacement Program (ORP), the DDG51 Class Destroyer, the CVN 78 Class Carrier, the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). ManTech helps these Navy programs achieve their respective affordability goals by transitioning needed manufacturing technology which, when implemented, results in a cost reduction or cost avoidance. Navy ManTech works with defense contractors, the Naval Research Enterprise, Navy acquisition Program Offices, and academia to develop improved processes and equipment. The Program is structured to promote timely implementation to strengthen the defense industrial base. The Navy ManTech Centers of Excellence (COEs) play a key role in the definition and execution of the Program. With their expertise in specific technology areas, the COEs provide focal points for the development and technology transfer of new manufacturing processes and equipment in a cooperative environment with industry, the acquisition community the Naval Research Enterprise, and academia. The NMC CoE contractor will perform all supporting functions for the Center of Excellence (CoE), which includes serving as a corporate repository of expertise, performing special projects, conducting industry surveys, planning and conducting outreach activities to increase awareness of the NMC, and disseminating manufacturing technology throughout the nation's shipyards and industrial base. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be posted on/around 10 Aug 2015. The solicitation will be posted to FedBizOpps. The anticipated award date is on/around 15 Feb 2016. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered.
