Introduction: This is a Sources Sought Notice issued for market research and planning purposes only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), is seeking to identify qualified and experienced business entities capable of providing comprehensive industrial, administrative, and logistical support for the SEA21I Inactive Ship Maintenance Offices in each of its three locations (Philadelphia, Bremerton, and Pearl Harbor). The selected contractor will manage the secure custody, maintenance, and disposal of decommissioned, conventionally powered U.S. Navy vessels. Scope requirements include preserving reserve hulls in a water- and weather-tight status, executing complex inactivation/activation cycles, installing and monitoring dehumidification and cathodic protection systems, and preparing stricken assets for final disposition via foreign military sales, SINKEX, reefing, or dismantling. Operations require a SECRET facility clearance and a multi-disciplinary workforce of licensed operators to manage heavy weight-handling equipment (M&WHE) in strict compliance with NAVFAC P-306/P-307. The contractor must perform hazardous material remediation (asbestos, PCBs, mercury, and legacy PFAS/AFFF systems), provide 24/7 physical security, and supply Marine Chemist-certified gas-free engineering. Additionally, the contractor must execute a rapid-response material reclamation program, which may require sourcing and leasing a 75,000-square-foot(minimum) commercial, climate-controlled warehousing facility for harvested fleet assets.
