This RFI does not constitute a request for proposals. Submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary. The government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred, and it shall not be construed as any commitment by the Government to execute this requirement. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a need for in-service engineering in support of the DCS systems to include system modernization and technical support. The DCS is USSOCOM�s current solution for a surface-launched, dry, diver lock-in/lock-out (LI/LO) vessel capable of inserting and extracting Special Operations Forces (SOF) and/or payable loads into denied areas. DCS has obtained Full Operational Capability (FOC) with the fielding of three hulls, and currently has outstanding conditions on the DCS Conditional Fielding & Deployment Release (CF&DR), based on approved user requirements, which the DCS Program Management Office (PMO) is working to fulfill through in service engineering support. Having reached FOC, USSOCOM now has a need for new contract to support modernization of the system to meet updated NSW requirements; to include but not limited to program management support, reach-back support, additional field support, sustainment support, and modernization/related developmental efforts. This contract will be executed in accordance with FAR part 15 requirements and will support the DCS systems produced under USSOCOM IDIQ H92222-16-C-0096 which is currently set to expire in July 2026. All the products to be included in this new effort are continuations of design, development, and integration efforts that USSOCOM has previously invested in the testing, integrating, certifying and ultimately fielding under this current contract. All future technology enhancements to DCS will be designed and manufactured to meet International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) classification requirements. The Government contemplates award of a single/multiple award contract for five years with a maximum ceiling value not yet determined.

NOTE: Capability statements may also demonstrate the ability to provide alternate capabilities that not only meet all of the key capabilities listed above and possesses the required level of technical expertise, but also offers increased capabilities that outweigh the substantial duplication of cost to the Government and significant delays in fulfilling our mission requirements that would be associated with introducing alternate capabilities at this time on a competitive basis.

Format: Responses should be formatted to print out legibly as follows: A) paper size 8.5 x 11-inch paper; B) margins 1�; C) spacing � Single; D) Font � Times New Roman, 12 Pt; and E) Microsoft 2010 or later and/or PDF format.
