Sources Sought/Request for Information for the Follow-On AUTEC Operations and Maintenance Contract

The U.S. Navy is issuing an RFI to gauge industry interest and capability for a follow‑on, Firm‑Fixed‑Price (FFP) operations and maintenance contract supporting the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) on Andros Island, Bahamas. The effort is split into three functional areas—Base Operations (public works, logistics, housing, food services, emergency services, waste management), Enterprise Operations (program management, data‑exchange, security, environmental and water management, air‑passenger support), and Test Operations (range‑system operation, test planning, post‑mission analysis, marine and acoustic equipment support). Respondents must confirm interest in performing each area on an FFP basis, disclose any reservations, provide insight on eight‑year‑plus pricing strategies, and suggest risk‑allocation mechanisms for variable‑demand services. Access to detailed PWS and workload factors is controlled and requires active SAM registration, CMMC Level 2 certification, and appropriate SAM roles. • Scope covers full‑range base, enterprise, and test support for a deep‑water undersea test facility. • Contract is anticipated to be a long‑term (≥ 8 years) FFP award. • Key capabilities needed: technical workforce for tracking/instrumentation systems, facilities management, logistics, security, and test‑range operations. • Potential contractors must have active SAM registration, CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification, and be able to submit CMMC UIDs per DFARS 252.204‑7025. • No deadline is listed; interested firms must request access to attachments via SAM.gov and submit responses directly to the listed contacts.
