    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Department of the Navy's Program Executive Office Industrial Infrastructure (PEO II), is seeking information regarding the construction and operation of a FORD-class dry docking capability on the West Coast of the United States, specifically in California, Oregon, Washington, or Hawaii. The Navy aims to establish a dry dock that can accommodate FORD-class aircraft carriers and other Navy vessels for scheduled maintenance and emergent repairs, with specifications including a length of 1,210 feet, a width of 210 feet, and a docking displacement of 100,000 long tons. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the Navy's maintenance capabilities and may involve a public-private partnership where a commercial entity would build, own, and operate the dry dock, while also allowing for commercial use when not servicing Navy vessels. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses and inquiries to Majella Stevenson at majella.d.stevenson.civ@us.navy.mil or Anthony O'Rourke at anthony.c.orourke.civ@us.navy.mil, with no specific deadline mentioned for submissions.
