SOURCES SOUGHT VIRGINIA & OHIO-CLASS LARGE VERTICAL ARRAY (LVA) BACK-FIT INSTALLATION

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to identify qualified sources to serve as the Alteration Installation Team (AIT) for back‑fit installation of the Large Vertical Array (LVA) acoustic system on in‑service U.S. Navy submarines. Work will be performed during scheduled submarine availability periods at public naval shipyards and will involve installing government‑furnished arrays, fixtures, processors, and transport carts using provided SHIPALT/TRID drawings, NAVSEA Technical Specification TS9090‑310H, and OEM manuals. Respondents must possess a SECRET facility clearance, have personnel cleared to SECRET, and demonstrate experience (or a detailed compliance plan) with SUBSAFE/Level I submarine work and installation of SHT/Mold‑In‑Place (MIP) polymers. Additional requirements include proven integration with LMAs and shipyard stakeholders, a documented approach to recruiting, training, and retaining skilled trades, and robust supply‑chain management for complex government contracts (including HAZMAT). Interested parties must submit a white‑paper capability statement (Microsoft Word or PDF, ≤15 pages) that includes company and point‑of‑contact data, current facility clearance level, classified mailing address, staffing levels at the identified shipyards, past performance (2‑3 recent, similar projects with contract details), business size under NAICS 336611, and any special contract clauses required. The response is for informational purposes only; it does not constitute a solicitation, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with the submission. Virtual briefings will be conducted via Microsoft Teams with separate links for breakout sessions.
