The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue solicitation N0002423R4401 for the execution of the FY24 USS JAMES E WILLIAMS (DDG 95) Depot Modernization Period (DMP). Upon a contractor's completion of this Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability, the ship shall be capable of carrying out its mission with a reasonable expectation of maintaining a satisfactory condition of readiness until the next CNO-scheduled depot Availability.

USS JAMES E WILLIAMS (DDG 95) FY24 DMP will be approximately 23 months, beginning in November 2023 and completing in October 2025.

If the Navy issues a solicitation for these CNO Availabilities, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS) will guide the acquisition. The anticipated contract, like all other CNO-scheduled depot Availabilities, is a supply contract. The supply that would be procured is repaired, mission-ready ships, which shall be returned to service with the Fleet.

The anticipated scope of the procurement includes all labor, supervision, production, testing, and quality assurance necessary to prepare for and accomplish the CNO Availability. The CNO Availability is expected to require a highly capable contractor with substantial facilities and human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair, and modernization.

The availability is expected to be solicited on a coast-wide basis on the East and Gulf Coast under a single solicitation, and a single contract to complete the availability is expected to be awarded to one contractor.

The Navy will issue the solicitation electronically on www.sam.gov and interested parties must comply with that solicitation. Interested offerors are hereby encouraged to monitor www.sam.gov for the anticipated release of the solicitation, and any associated amendments. Offerors shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.
