The NAVSUP FLC Sigonella Naples Office has issued an amendment to solicitation N6817125Q0015, effective January 21, 2025. The amendment aims to clarify a work item related to the MSD (Marine Systems Data) unit's human-machine interface (HMI) and to correct the solicitation's small business set-aside status, which has been removed. Attached photos illustrate the HMI issues, highlighting communication errors preventing the #3 MSD unit from effectively interacting with other systems. The contractor is tasked to coordinate with the OEM to resolve programming issues or potentially replace the HMI and PLC if necessary. The amendment stresses that all previously established terms and conditions remain in effect. This document emphasizes the need for rigorous oversight and intervention to address technical deficiencies that impact operational efficiency within the fleet.
