PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The contractor shall provide engineering and engineering management expertise, corporate guidance and technical
support required to support this PWS. The contractor shall commit the resources necessary to staff the applicable
tasks and ensure tasks are accomplished efficiently, satisfactorily, cost effectively, with the highest standards and
meet the product delivery schedule specified in the applicable task.
BACKGROUND
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) Code 200 (Engineering
Department) has had a long history of having a Marine Design and Engineering Services contract in place. The
driving force behind this is, essentially, a fluctuating workload such that available Government resources in place at
PSNS & IMF do not have the capacity to handle large surges in workload associated with ship repair and
conversion. These contracts have given PSNS & IMF the flexibility to maintain a lean workforce, and still be able
to fulfill the needs of its customers, in spite of workload surges. This requirement was previously fulfilled via
contracts N4523A-19-D-1301 (Tridentis), N4523A-19-D-1302 (Gryphon Marine), and N4523A-19-D-1303
(Huntington Ingalls Industries). However, contracting regulations now require all engineering service type contracts
to be solicited on SeaPort NxG. Contracting regulations clearly define pre-award contract administration timelines
for contracts solicited on SeaPort NxG: 150 days for contracts costing under $10M and 180 days for contracts
costing over $10M. These administrative timelines will not support the timelines for Code 200 engineering work.
Most Code 200 engineering work can only allow for a maximum of 60 days for pre-award contract administration.
Therefore, this contract shall be a five-year single-award level-of-effort contract, which will allow for expeditious
contractor engagement on any task which may be assigned during the five-year lifetime. Once the contract has been
awarded, any and all contracting tasks will be assigned via Technical Instructions, which has very minimal contract
administration time to issue. This contract vehicle is based off of Norfolk Naval Shipyard contract N0017819D8073,
Delivery Order N4215821F3000. That contract has proven to be successful in providing contracted services for
NNSY Code 200 engineering support from 2019 to present.

programming and support services, and technical document preparation, publication and reproduction. Planning
Yard requirements include ship checks, drawing development, Ship Alteration Record (SAR) and Ship Change
Documents (SCD) development, Ship Selected Record (SSR) upkeep, and fleet technical support. The requirements
include the need to install, monitor, test and troubleshoot equipment and minor installation/repair/replacement of
components, equipment, and systems associated with various assessments and inspections.
1.4 The required services may be in support of the following Puget Sound Naval Shipyard
Engineering and Planning Department (EPD) Disciplines:
1.4.1 Code 244C Carrier Project Engineering & Planning Division - C-244C provides various
support services to waterfront projects and EPD including work packaging for nuclear and non-nuclear work
on various submarine and carrier projects, project engineering services and material support to EPD in support
of QA 1-3 material as well as non-standard QA-4 material.
QA 1. MIC Level I Material (Nonnuclear) or Level I material used in a DSS/SOC MCD A application.
QA 2. Non Level I Controlled Industrial Material (CIM) or Certified Structural Material (CSM) that requires
TRI (Technical Receipt Inspection). QA 2 material requires TRI to an established, commodity- specific
Receipt Inspection Procedure (RIP). As a minimum, material per any of the specs shown as CIM or CSM in
