    Description

    The U.S. Navy is hosting an Industry Day event to engage with industry leaders and gather insights for an upcoming diving services contract. The event is a crucial step in the procurement process for specialized diving and underwater ship repair services.

    The Navy seeks to augment its diving capability and rapidly deploy contractors within four hours of receiving task orders. Services required include air and mixed-gas diving to specific depths, with contractors able to simultaneously execute three diving operations globally. Key tasks involve underwater inspections, maintenance, and specialized welding and testing.

    The contract emphasizes close collaboration between the contractor and the Supervisor of Salvage and Diving (SUPSALV), with stringent requirements for timely delivery of work plans, estimates, and reports. The Navy seeks a single vendor for this IDIQ contract, focusing on their technical capability, management approach, past performance, and cost. The evaluation process weights technical capability and management approach above cost considerations.

    To participate, RSVP by email is required by September 13, 2024, and attendance is limited to three individuals per organization. The Navy encourages vendors to present their most competitive offers and emphasizes that it may award the contract without discussions. The solicitation aims to award a contract representing the best value to the Navy, with an emphasis on technical merit.

    The Industry Day event will be held on September 18, 2024, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Virginia Beach. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for further updates.

    N0002418R4334_Section C_Statement of Work.pdf
    The U.S. Navy seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive diving services and engineering support under a single IDIQ contract. The primary objective is to augment the Navy's capability for diving, salvage, and underwater ship repair. The contract emphasizes the need for rapid response, with contractors mobilized within four hours of receiving task orders. The services required include air and mixed-gas diving to depths of 170 and 300 feet, respectively, along with a portable 600-foot saturation dive system for worldwide deployment. Contractors must have the capacity to simultaneously execute three diving operations anywhere in the world. Key tasks involve underwater inspections, maintenance, and repairs, often requiring specialized welding and non-destructive testing (NDT). The Navy specifies exacting welding procedures and qualification standards, with contractors to provide related facilities and equipment. Additionally, the contractor will undertake engineering tasks, develop work procedures, and maintain Government-provided inventory. The contract envisions a close collaboration between the contractor and Supervisor of Salvage and Diving (SUPSALV), with stringent deadlines for submitting work plans, cost estimates, and progress reports. Award decisions will partially hinge on the contractor's ability to meet these minimum essential requirements.
    N0002418R4334_Section L_Instructions to Offerors.pdf
    The US Navy seeks proposals for a single-award IDIQ contract to provide diving support services and solutions. The primary objective is to obtain a comprehensive range of underwater ship husbandry services, including mobilization and remote operations. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to conduct three simultaneous diving operations worldwide. The Navy requires detailed resumes for key personnel, a quality assurance plan, and operational and management approaches. Cost proposals must cover all aspects of the effort and include indirect rates, scheduled rates for personnel and equipment, and financial responsibility details. Offerors are expected to have the financial capability to absorb the costs of individual diving operations until reimbursed. The proposal deadline is July 30, 2019. The Navy intends to evaluate proposals based on technical merit and cost-effectiveness, with award decisions made without discussions, favoring comprehensive and superior responses.
    N0002418R4334_Section M_Evaluation Factors for Award.pdf
    The primary objective of this procurement is to select a single vendor for an IDIQ contract, focusing on their technical capability. The government seeks a comprehensive understanding of the Navy's requirements and the vendor's ability to deliver effective solutions. The evaluation criteria are segmented into four factors: Technical Capability, Management Approach, Past Performance, and Cost. Notably, the Oral Presentation and response to Sample Problems are weighted equally within the Technical Capability factor. Vendors must also propose viable solutions for simultaneous operations and mobilization. Past Performance is evaluated based on the relevance and quality of the vendor's previous work. The government emphasizes that it values technical prowess and management approach above cost considerations. Vendors are encouraged to present their most competitive initial offers, as the government reserves the right to award the contract without entering into discussions. The solicitation aims to award a contract that represents the best value to the Navy.
