Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVFACSYSCOM NORTHWEST has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Shipyard Infrastructure and Optimization Program (SIOP) P454 Multi-Mission Dry Dock (M2D2). This RFI seeks industry capabilities for the construction of a reinforced concrete multi-mission dry dock designed to support USS FORD (CVN-78) and USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) class nuclear aircraft carriers, as well as all fleet nuclear submarine classes. Responses are due by April 17, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project involves the construction of a reinforced concrete pressure relieved multi-mission dry dock with a caisson. Key construction elements include upland groundwater cutoff walls, cofferdam systems, bulkheads, quay walls, stairs, enclosed utility galleries, and various utility tunnels (electrical, mechanical, drainage, discharge). It also encompasses saltwater system intake(s), a closed loop cooling system, flooding and dewatering systems, passenger and freight elevators, vessel mooring hardware, bollards, capstans, perimeter safety railing, temporary services support hangers, and area lighting.
Additionally, the scope covers fire protection, information technology, automated control systems compatible with the Shipyard and Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA), a dry dock process water collection system, and a process water/oily waste treatment system. Infrastructure will include 40-foot gauge portal crane tracks, sanitary sewer, mechanical and electrical utilities, saltwater and freshwater fire protection, information and communications systems, and lighting. Procurement of equipment, such as a ship-style floating caisson gate and electrified 40-foot gauge portal cranes, may also be included.
