- Description
- This is a reissue of sources sought N0002409R2216 with an emphasis on delivery schedules in anticipation of a potential future procurement program with the Government of Iraq. In support of the eventual turnover of security responsibilities to the Iraqi Government, expedited deliveries of these vessels is of paramount importance. Due to the vital need of this request, the Government is seeking responses from sources that can provide an accelerated delivery schedule even if the existing boat or boat design does not fully meet the characteristics listed below. As a part of the response to this RFI, interested sources should indicate which characteristics can and cannot be met. Interested sources are encouraged to propose delivery schedules that can realistically be achieved while keeping in mind the vital need of this request. The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting market research to determine the existence of a Coastal Patrol Boat possessing the characteristics listed below (same characteristics as the original N0002409R2216). We will also consider existing boats or proven designs that come close to possessing these characteristics if this will help to accelerate the delivery schedules.
