CVN 82 Advance Procurement & Detail Design & Construction (DD&C)

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has requirements for CVN 82 Advance Procurement and Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) as early as FY26. The requirements will be solicited from Huntington Ingalls, Inc., Newport News Shipbuilding (HII-NNS) located at 4101 Washington Avenue, Newport News, VA 23607. This requirement will be procured, without full and open competition, from the only qualified source capable of performing the detail design and construction of CVN 78 Class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements”. As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of CVN 78 Class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, HII-NNS is the only responsible source with the access, unique knowledge, experience, special skills, facilities, manufacturing techniques, and technical data required to fulfill the production requirements. Award to another source would result in duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.

Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should directly contact HII-NNS via e-mail at smallbusiness@hii-nns.com. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any money expended by interested parties before award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.
