Defueled Ex-Long Beach (CGN 9) Transportation & Disposal

This is a Request for Information (RFI) as defined in FAR 15.101(c), and in accordance with FAR part 10. The Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the capability to transport, dismantle, de-militarize, and dispose of ex‑Long Beach (CGN 9), including the defueled reactor plants in accordance with the attached Draft Summary Statement of Work (SOW), with all work done within the United States of America. This notice is not a request for proposals or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the future. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. The Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information provided, or administrative costs incurred, in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the Respondent’s expense. The Government will retain all RFI responses, which will be protected as business sensitive and will not be released outside of the Government. The Government may use program support contractor(s) and Government will follow up with interested parties to obtain consent, as required. Defense and commercial contractors, including small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUB Zone small businesses, and woman-owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If an RFP is subsequently issued, the Government intends to synopsize it on the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor for additional information pertaining to any future requirement.
