A written solicitation will not be issued. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to modify previously competed Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract No. N00024-22-D-2270, awarded to MetalCraft Marine, Inc. on 9 March 2022, located in Watertown, NY, for an estimated eighty two (82) Force Protection Small/Large boats. The Navy uses Force Protection Boats for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection at US Navy Installations, which includes patrol, interrogation of other waterborne assets, and escorting large vessels in and out of port in various weather and water conditions, throughout the year, day and night. Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) operates these boats as part of their shore installation management responsibility, in support of Naval Operations. The subject contract action will modify the Force Protection Large boat design currently procured under the subject contract in order to create a standardized Force Protection Boat. This contract action will include the Government purchase of the TDP for the modified boat design. The Navy requires a single, standardized Force Protection Boat design to replace the multiple variants currently in service, which were procured from various vendors with differing specifications. Maintaining these various boat designs is a significant financial burden due to the need for unique parts inventories, specialized maintenance procedures, and tailored training programs for each variant. This strains resources and adds unnecessary complexity to the supply chain. This consolidation is critical for streamlining logistics, training, and interoperability across the global fleet. Crucially, the desired design must closely align with existing vessels to maximize compatibility with current US Navy infrastructure and personnel. A new competitive contract that utilizes the purchased TDP to support a Government-issued specification is in development. The intent of this notice is not to solicit competitive offers. However, interested parties may submit a capability statement that can meet the key requirements to the Contracting Officer for consideration.
