The Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) is seeking a contractor for marine services to operate a Navy Pusher/Work Boat at various installations, including Naval Base San Diego, Coronado, and Point Loma. The contractor will oversee operational, administrative, and technical support, ensuring effective service completion regarding the government-provided boat. Operations will include the movement of various craft and conducting daily inspections, ensuring navigational safety, and reporting discrepancies. Crew members must meet specific qualifications, including U.S. Coast Guard licenses and training standards, ensuring they are cleared for base access. The contract prohibits the employment of active military personnel without prior approval to maintain clear separation between government and contractor staff. Deliverables include daily inspection logs, monthly fuel usage reports, and accident reports, with a stringent quality assurance program required to uphold contract standards. This performance-based contract emphasizes the importance of safety, maintenance, and operational effectiveness within naval port operations, reflecting the government's commitment to efficient maritime support services.

The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego is conducting a market survey for Pusher Boat Port Operations Support Services to identify capable businesses and enhance acquisition processes. This is a preparatory notice, not a solicitation, and responses from interested firms will aid in planning and assessing small business capabilities, potentially leading to set-asides for small businesses. The contract anticipated is a single award Firm Fixed Price type, with a base year and four option years, continuing a previous contract held by Pacific Maritime Group Inc. Interested parties must submit a Capability Statement, alongside qualifications and relevant experience related to the specified Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor will handle supervision, technical support, labor, and the operational inspection of government-furnished boats. Specific qualifications for personnel are required, including obtaining U.S. Coast Guard licenses and appropriate safety certifications. The submission should include detailed company information and examples of prior pertinent experience, while all responses must be submitted electronically by a specified deadline. This outreach aims to stimulate industry participation and gather feedback for improved procurement strategies.
