View moreThe United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), through the Directorate of Procurement under Special Operations Forces (SOF) Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (AT&L), intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with United States Marine, Inc. (USMI) for the production of Combatant Craft Assaults (CCAs). Located in Gulfport, Mississippi, USMI is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the existing fielded fleet. This requirement involves the manufacture of craft as part of a scheduled life cycle replacement, along with the procurement of spare engines, sustaining and developmental engineering services, training, shipping, and travel.
The anticipated contract includes Firm Fixed Price and Cost-type line items, featuring a minimum order of two craft and a maximum total value of $108 million if surge production options are executed. The government cited FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) and 6.302-1(b)(2) as the basis for the sole-source award, noting that USMI possesses proprietary data and unique manufacturing processes necessary to meet performance specifications. Transitioning to a new manufacturer is expected to result in a minimum 12-month delay for qualification and approximately $18 million in non-recurring engineering and testing costs, which the government does not anticipate recovering through competition.
This pre-solicitation notice is categorized under NAICS code 336612 for Boat Building and PSC code 19. Initial delivery orders will utilize Fiscal Year 2020 procurement-type funds. While the agency intends to negotiate with the sole source, responsible parties may submit capability statements for consideration in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responses and inquiries must be submitted in writing to the designated points of contact by the deadline of April 22, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
