The Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements for the Military Sealift Command (MSC) regarding the calibration, repair, and replacement of essential gauges, meters, thermometers, and test equipment utilized aboard its vessels. The primary objective is to ensure the vessels maintain operational readiness through accurate monitoring of machinery performance. Calibration services will typically occur "In Place," while repairs can be performed both aboard the ships and at contractor facilities. Contractors must possess specific accreditations, maintain updated certifications, and ensure their personnel meet security and training regulations.
Key tasks include supplying qualified technicians, delivering comprehensive service reports, maintaining compliance with industrial safety standards, and conducting necessary calibrations and repairs to manufacturer specifications. The contractor is also responsible for effective communication with ship personnel through briefings at the start and end of service calls. Moreover, all technical data generated will become property of the MSC. The document emphasizes the importance of adherence to regulatory requirements and proper management of resources, including the utilization of government inventory when possible, to support efficient operations across MSC's global fleet.
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) issued a Sources Sought Notice to gauge interest and capability among potential contractors for the calibration, repair, and replacement of various shipboard gauges, meters, thermometers, and test equipment. This initiative supports MSC's mission of maintaining operational readiness in its fleet. The work involves both on-site and off-site repairs, with a focus on high-voltage systems requiring specific safety training. Interested businesses are invited to submit capabilities packages detailing their qualifications, relevant experience, and socioeconomic designations by March 7, 2025. Additionally, a set of market survey questions aims to gather feedback on the draft performance work statement and assess available contract vehicles. The overall goal is to identify capable vendors and ensure compliance with safety and operational standards in service support for government-owned vessels.
