- PWS LCS Execution Planning Sources Sought THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT FROM RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY INTERESTED PARTIES IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY AND NO MONETARY COMPENSATION WILL BE PROVIDED FOR RESPONSE PREPARATION. INTRODUCTION The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Washington DC, is seeking information from potential sources able to provide engineering and technical services to support the U.S. Navy's Surface Ship Maintenance, Repair and Modernization (SSMRM) requirements. The results of this Sources Sought will be utilized to determine whether any Small Business set-aside opportunities exist. All Small Business set-aside categories will be considered. In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, Small Businesses concerns are reminded that in the performance of contracts awarded under small business set-aside procedures, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern. BACKGROUND PMS 505, Fleet Introduction and Sustainment, is responsible for the life-cycle management of Littoral Combat Ships in the US Navy. In-service life cycle support of these ships comprises: integrated planning, programming, and execution of the maintenance; repair and modernization, and the provision of all technical and logistics support required to maintain, repair, modernize, and improve performance of these ships. PMS 505 is evolving its surface ship modernization and maintenance/repair contracting strategy to implement a "family" of contracts that will maximize competition and the use of fixed price type contracts across the spectrum of surface ship availabilities. This strategy will leverage multiple types of contracts "right-sized" to best complete each type of ship availability, reflecting the specifics of the volume of work for each class and the industrial base in each port. This approach is intended to improve cost, schedule and quality while maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to the Fleet. Specific engineering and technical requirements that are covered under this Sources Sought notice include, but are not limited to: General Requirements, Availability Planning Support, Availability Execution Support, Availability Assessment Execution, Integrated Logistic Support (ILS), Special Projects and Long Lead Time Material (LLTM). A draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) with specific details is provided as an attachment to this notice. ACQUISITION STRATEGY The Government is contemplating procuring this effort under one (1) Class applicable Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Level of Effort (LOE) contract, with a contract duration of one (1) 12-month base year and four 12-month option years. The contract size is estimated by total planned product (or depot level work item) development volume. This volume is defined by work items that typically support Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) type availability planning, and work items that support Continuous Maintenance (CM), Window Of Opportunity (WOO), and Emergent Availability planning. Littoral Combat Ship Class Execution Planning (LCS 1 & 2 variants): Fiscal Year CNO Availability (Work Items) CM Planning(Work Items) Total Planning (Work Items) 2017 1000 3375 4375 2018 1000 4455 5455 2019 1000 5535 6535 2020 2000 6345 8345 2021 3000 7425 10425 NOTE: The above workload estimates do not include service life enhancing shipboard material assessments that may be executed in support of depot level work item development.

(2) An outline of resources available to accomplish each proposed contract. Submittals must clearly distinguish in-house resources from sub-contracted resources and include the following: • Infrastructure and organization sufficient to process substantial volumes of complex engineering data; operate at high volume, provide rapid turnaround of administrative and technical products; implement project management controls; execute significant multi-tasking; and control costs. • Key Personnel: identify appropriate levels and types of expertise in a manner that demonstrates understanding of the requirements in the Statement of Work. Interested parties shall address the following positions: Program Managers, Project Managers, Quality Assurance Managers, Logisticians, Cost Analysts, Planners, Estimators, Schedulers, and Assessors; and the following technical disciplines: Marine Engineering, Naval Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Computer Engineering, and Software Engineering. • Identify all property, equipment, and facilities necessary to perform the requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, including an approach for accessing or maintaining technical information that supports the planning process, material warehousing capacity, and capability for shipping/receiving government furnished material. • Interested parties shall be able to provide planning and engineering efforts nationwide, including conduct of system/equipment validation ship checks in all homeports for each assigned vessel. If the firm is not able to provide planning and engineering effort nationwide and/or conduct validation ship checks in all homeports for each assigned vessel, explain the reasons for this inability. • Provide relevant examples of a quality system defining the capability and approach to ensure quality assurance for all required planning products and processes.
