From the notice

1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND PAE Maritime is conducting market research to identify responsible sources capable of providing some or all the sustainment capabilities required to support U.S. Navy surface-ship centrifugal, reciprocating, and rotary air conditioning (AC) plants worldwide. The information received will help the Government assess available industry capabilities and determine an appropriate acquisition strategy, contract structure, and number of sources. The Navy’s AC Plant System Sustainment Plan (SSP) establishes a standardized, scalable approach intended to improve materiel condition and operational availability across multiple AC plant configurations, 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 and detailed in the Capability Certification Matrix (Table 1). Respondents may address any one or more capability areas.
