USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) Pre-Solicitation Synopsis

PAE Maritime intends to issue solicitation N00024-26-R-4421 for the execution of the USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA). Upon a contractor’s completion of this Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) availability, the ship shall be capable of carrying out its respective mission with a reasonable expectation of maintaining a satisfactory condition of readiness until the next CNO-scheduled depot Availability. 

USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD 8) FY28 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) will be approximately 19 months, beginning in November 2027 and completing in June 2029. 

If the Navy issues a solicitation for the CNO Availability, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Navy Marine Corp Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NMCARS) will guide the acquisitions. The anticipated contract, like all other CNO-scheduled depot Availabilities, is a supply contract. The supply that would be procured is a repaired, mission-ready ship, which shall be returned to service with the fleet. 

The anticipated scope of the procurement includes all labor supervisions, production, testing, and quality assurance necessary to prepare for and accomplish this CNO Availability. This CNO availability is expected to require a highly capable contractor with substantial human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair and modernization.  

10 USC 8669a allows for the limitation of competition for “short term” Availabilities (18 months or less) to the homeport, provided there is adequate competition. Given that this Availability will be greater than 18 months in duration, the Navy would compete the acquisition on a coast-wide basis (West), without limiting the place of performance to the ship’s homeport. 

The Navy will issue the solicitation electronically via PIEE and interested parties must comply with that solicitation. Interested offerors are hereby encouraged to monitor PIEE and www.SAM.gov for the anticipated release of the solicitation, and any associated amendments. Offerors shall be registered in the Solicitation Module in System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award. 

This synopsis is issued in accordance with FAR 5.203(a) and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Government will not accept proposals as a result of this synopsis. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided in response to this notice. 

The Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed Price contract around March 2027.
