The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Sea Systems Command, intends to issue a sole-source solicitation for the operation, maintenance, protection, and certification of the U.S. floating dry-dock SHIPPINGPORT (ARDM-4) at the Naval Submarine Base in New London, Connecticut. The contract will be awarded to General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation, the only private nuclear-qualified shipyard certified for this operation, and will cover a one-year base period with four additional one-year option periods. This procurement is critical for ensuring the operational readiness and safety of naval vessels, as the floating dry-dock plays a vital role in ship maintenance and repair. Interested firms may express their interest and capability to respond, but the solicitation documents are not yet available; inquiries can be directed to Angel Jaeger at angel.jaeger.civ@us.navy.mil.
