The Assault Craft Unit Five at Camp Pendleton, CA, has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the refurbishment of eight Bow Thruster Nozzles and the fabrication of additional parts, including sixteen C-shaped belt covers and eight V-shaped belt covers. Due to degradation from saltwater and environmental exposure, the thruster nozzles need extensive refurbishment to extend their service life by 10-20 years. The process involves cleaning, inspecting, and repairing damaged fiberglass structures, followed by repainting with specific markings. The contractor is responsible for the pick-up, refurbishment, and delivery of the nozzles, ensuring they are protected and properly packed. All replaced parts must be new, and salvaged parts need to be returned with proper tagging. The contractor must adhere to compliance and standards while on-site and will use the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system for invoicing and payment processing. This RFP underscores the need for quality service in maintaining military equipment, ensuring operational readiness and safety protocols for the U.S. Navy.
