Shipboard Fairbanks Morse Diesel Engine System Sustainment Plan (SSP)

lability across multiple Fairbanks Morse Defense Diesel engines ship classes, and geographically dispersed maintenance activities. The contemplated scope includes maintenance, technical expertise, materiel, rotable inventory management, engineering, logistics, training, and emergent field services. The Government is considering a range of acquisition approaches, which may include a single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, multiple contracts, or coordinated capabilities from multiple sources. No final acquisition strategy has been selected. Respondents may describe capabilities they can provide individually, through existing or proposed teaming arrangements, or as part of a broader sustainment solution. 2.0 CONTEMPLATED SUSTAINMENT CAPABILITIES The Government is seeking information on the capabilities summarized below. Respondents may address any one or more capability areas. For each area addressed, identify current capabilities, how the work would be performed, and any relevant limitations, dependencies, or capability-development needs. 2.1 Diesel Materiel Support This capability includes identifying, sourcing, procuring, managing, and delivering "Pit Stop" CONEX boxes, including configuration-specific repair parts, assemblies, and overhaul materiel for planned maintenance, emergent repairs, casualty response, and restoration of Fairbanks Morse Diesel engines. This capability includes establishing and managing rotable inventories and Overhaul Parts Packages (OPPs), including storage, configuration control, issue and return, repair or overhaul, replenishment, transportation, and positioning inventory to support geographically dispersed maintenance activities. This capability may include configuration-specific engineering and technical assistance, technical data and documentation, maintenance procedures, failure and root-cause analysis, technical dispositions, reliability and maintainability support, obsolescence management, and other Integrated Product Support. 2.2 Embedded Fairbanks Morse Diesel Engine Technical Expertise at SIMAs The Government is considering embedded Fairbanks Morse Diesel engine technical expertise at designated Navy Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activities (SIMAs) to support Sailor training and Navy-led maintenance activities. Support may include hands-on instruction, troubleshooting, maintenance planning, and technical oversight. 2.3 Fairbanks Morse Diesel Engine Overhaul and Unit Exchange Fairbanks Morse Diesel Engine Overhaul and Unit Exchange include comprehensive plant assessment, troubleshooting, corrective maintenance, component repair or replacement, core removal for refurbishment, in-place engine overhaul, testing, and restoration of the engines to operational condition within US Navy Fleet Concentration areas within the United States. Major Engine Overhaul and Unit Exchange must be completed within a mandatory maintenance window of 45 days or less. Respondents should identify relevant experience, available personnel and facilities, configuration coverage, and demonstrated ability to meet this schedule. 2.4 Global Unplanned and Emergent Field Services This capability includes responsive technical troubleshooting, on-site assessment, engineering assistance, repair recommendations, identification and sourcing of required materiel, and other field services needed to restore diesel engine capability at Navy locations worldwide. Respondents should describe geographic coverage, response capability, and the ability to support emergent work while meeting scheduled maintenance commitments. 3.0 CAPABILITY CERTIFICATION MATRIX AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE Respondents should identify their ability to fulfill each capability area addressed. For each area, identify the proposed method of performance: organic capability, existing OEM or license arrangement, subcontractor or teaming partner, or capability to be developed. Respondents may identify capabilities available through subcontractors, teaming partners, suppliers, license agreements, or other third-party arrangements. Clearly identify the organization responsible for each capability and whether the relationship is established or would need to be formed. Distinguish current capabilities from those that would require additional agreements, licensing, qualification, investment, or development. Provide concise, specific, and verifiable supporting information for each response, as applicable. Useful evidence may include: Relevant contracts or programs, customers, periods of performance, and scope of work; Fairbanks Morse Defense Diesel engine configurations or comparable equipment supported and geographic locations served; Personnel, facilities, tooling, diagnostic or test equipment, inventory, and logistics infrastructure; Demonstrated maintenance capacity, schedule performance, response times, and relevant past performance; and Access to technical data, licenses, specialized resources, or other arrangements necessary to perform the work, including any material limitations. Respondents are not expected to provide a detailed technical proposal or develop a new solution in response to this notice. Concise statements sufficient to describe the respondent�s capabilities and approach are encouraged. 4.0 RESPONSE FORMAT Responses should not exceed 3 pages. Respondents need only address the capability areas relevant to their organization and proposed approach. Please include: Company name and address, UEI, CAGE code, and business size/status; Primary point of contact, including email and telephone number; A concise description of the capability areas addressed and the proposed method of performance; Specific supporting statements for each capability area response, including relevant past performance where available; and Identification of any relevant teaming, subcontracting, licensing, technical-data access, or other third-party arrangements and their status. Responses may be submitted by a single organization or describe capabilities provided by a joint venture, contractor team, subcontractors, suppliers, licensors, or other partners. For proposed teams, identify the participating organizations, the capabilities each would provide, and whether the arrangement is currently established or contingent on future agreement. 5.0 GOVERNMENT USE OF RESPONSES This notice is for market research and is not requested for competitive proposals or quotations; it does not constitute a solicitation. The Government may use responses, together with other available market research, to assess the availability of sources capable of satisfying individual requirements or combinations of requirements; the feasibility of a single-source, multiple-source, or integrated-team approach; and the appropriate acquisition strategy and contract structure. The Government has not made a final determination regarding the acquisition strategy or source selection approach. The Government will not reimburse respondents for costs incurred in preparing or submitting a response and is under no obligation to use information received. Questions should be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist and/or Contracting Officer identified in the SAM.gov notice. Submitted materials are intended for Government use in acquisition planning. Authorized Government support contractors assisting PAE Maritime or the applicable
