Description
SCOPE: Trident Refit Facility, Bangor, WA (TRFB), in support of the SSBN 737 USS Kentucky Extended Refit Period (ERP) maintenance availability, requires commercial thermal spray surface deposition repair services to restore the Induction Mast Standpipe outer surface as directed by Ref. 2.1. The outer surface of the Induction Mast Standpipe requires outer “wear” surface repairs due to wear and corrosion by products and defects that do not meet inspection criteria of the applicable NAVSEA Maintenance Standard document. Thermal spray repair of components removed from USN vessels shall only be conducted by thermal spray entities whose deposition processes and facilities have been certified by NAVSEA. The Induction Mast Standpipe outer wear surface was previously repaired in 2012 via thermal spray repairs conducted by Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) per Ref. 2.1. When TRFB engaged NNSY in FEB 2026 to query as to their capability to assist with thermal spray repair services, NNSY responded that they do not currently have the capability. TRFB then surveyed other USN shipyards, which resulted with no activity having the requisite thermal spray capability, thus commercial thermal spray services are required. Period of Performance: POP will begin at award. Required Delivery Date is 31 July 2026.
