However, submissions will be accepted after this date, but feedback may not be as timely or contribute to NAVSEA’s strategic planning process. Information should be e-mailed to Brian Natysyn at brian.j.natysyn.civ@us.navy.mil. The Government is not obligated to respond to any or all questions or comments submitted in response to this RFI or information provided as a result of this request, but, the Navy will consider each question or comment received when making plans for the program or future information to be shared.

Responses are requested to be provided electronically, with no less than 10-point font and acceptable formats include Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint files.

The information provided will assist NAVSEA in future developments, procurements, and acquisitions.

Please clearly delineate in your responses any data that is shareable only with the U.S. Navy personnel and what can be shared with Navy support contractors and/or ship construction shipyards.

Partial responses to this RFI are encouraged; a respondent need not respond to all questions for their responses to be considered. Follow-up questions may be asked of responders for clarification, but this will not indicate a selection or preference. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP or other solicitation, if any is issued. Classified material will not be accepted.

Subsequent to receiving and evaluating responses to this RFI, one-on-one meetings may be scheduled for direct industry feedback on the materials discussed.

This RFI in no way binds the Government to offer contracts to responding companies. All small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and women-owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. This RFI is considered market research under Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NAVSEA may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements and may request a presentation and/or a site visit as deemed necessary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
