Radar Depot Mast Thermal Spray Services

2: Posted: March 3, 2026, 12:25 p.m. EST The Regional Maintenance Center at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) is conducting market research to determine industry capability and interest in performing restoration of SSN 774 Class, SSN 21 Class, and SSBN 741-743 Class submarine variants of the AN/BPS-16 radar mast sub-assembly. Each AN/BPS-16 radar mast sub-assembly variant is comprised of three distinct radar mast tubes: one Outer Housing, one Radar Mast, and one Rotary Tube detailed in page 3 of the Statement of Work (SOW). Scope: The Trident Refit Facility Bangor Radar Depot performs restoration of mechanical radar components installed on the various classes of submarines for US Navy Submarine Projects at Shipyards and maintenance activities, in addition to supporting Navy Supply System NSN Depot Level Repairable (DLR) asset restorations. During restoration of radar mast components, the outer surfaces of radar mast tubes typically require surface finish refurbishment due to wear and corrosion defects that do not meet inspection criteria of the applicable NAVSEA Maintenance Standard document, which requires NAVSEA certified thermal spray deposition processes and facilities be used to affect refurbishment of the radar mast tube surfaces. Radar mast tubes must maintain their SUBSAFE/Level 1 certifications at all times, and repairs must be performed by NAVSEA certified SUBSAFE entities listed in NAVSEANOTE 5000, Ser. 07/056 DTD 29 OCT 2024. Barring available qualified SUBSAFE activities to affect thermal spray repair services, TRFB, a NAVSEA qualified SUBSAFE Certifying Activity , will provide SUBSAFE oversight, via Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) in accordance with (IAW) TRFB Engineering Memorandums 410/214M-21 Rev-A and 410/215M-21 Rev-B, for the repair process required by contract for SUBSAFE/Level 1 work performed by contractors not previously certified to perform SUBSAFE work by NAVSEA. Period of Performance: The estimated period of performance consists of a five-year ordering period with performance commencing in August 2026.
