Background

Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) Ranges, Engineering, and Analysis Department, Waterfront Operations Branch (Code 7212) supports at-sea testing for advanced underwater weapons, launcher systems, unmanned underwater vehicles, oceanographic systems, and acoustic communications. Branch personnel maintain expertise in safely conducting at-sea exercises and in the deployment and recovery of various test equipment and devices. Often, supporting tests of this nature requires assets to be used which are not owned by the government. Examples of such equipment include fixed and rotary wing aircraft, ocean-going vessels, commercial diving support, vessel mobilization support, and use of various pieces of oceanographic equipment.

Requirements

The contractor shall provide services to meet the following:

  • The contractor shall provide operational and associated logistics support for a variety of open ocean special projects where NUWC resources are not available.
  • The purpose of this contract is to acquire equipment, related services, and the logistics support necessary for supporting the Navy and other Department of Defense (DoD) projects both locally and worldwide.
  • This contract also supports all NUWCDIVNPT Departments. Aircraft are typically used for identifying marine mammals in preparation for torpedo exercises, for locating expended torpedoes on the ocean surface at the completion of the run, as well as for torpedo recovery (rotary-wing).
  • The vessels are used to support any manner of ocean testing.
  • Specialized equipment can include but not be limited to oceanographic sensors and devices, remotely operated vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and underwater cameras.
  • The shore-based support will include the mobilization and demobilization of vessels (including crane services, forklift services, ship agent services, welding and painting services, ship chemist services (to certify ship fuel tanks are gas-free before welding operations), etc.) and other logistic support as required for the preparation or conduct of ocean testing
