Code P-223

Oakland, CA 94625-5010 or telephone (415) 466-4690 ships for the Ready Reserve Force (RRF), in order to meet its final force goal of 120 ships. On January 17, 1986, the Navy spent $206.7 mil- lion (U.S.) to purchase 13 merchant class ships to add to the RRF.

RFP N00033-86-R-4011 is sched- uled for release on or about July 7, with an offerors' conference planned for July 23 and proposals due on

August 15, 1986.

The Ready Reserve Force, a sub- set of the National Defense Reserve

Fleet, currently consists of 73 ships.

The Navy is committed to achieving a goal of 89 ships in the RRF by

October 1986 and 120 ships by the end of FY 1992.

MSC will buy the most advanta- geous mix of militarily useful ships from among those offered under the

RFP. The Navy will take delivery and become the owner of record of these ships not later than Septem- ber 30, 1987. In an emergency, MSC would take control of the ships for military use.

MSC's first priority is for clean product tankers, 20,000 dwt-50,000 dwt. Tankers are required in the

RRF to support surge and resupply requirements. MSC requirements for FY 92 include 20 tankers. There are eight tankers in the RRF at present.

The second priority is for fast breakbulk ships, which will be en- hanced by later modification to pro- vide underway replenishment of ammunition and cargo to Navy combatants.

The third priority is for semisub- mersible, heavy lift ships capable of lifting and transporting individual items weighing in excess of 200 long tons. Satisfying this priority will en- hance MSC's capability to provide equipment worldwide including over the shore areas where suffi- ciently sophisticated port facilities are not available. These semisub- mersible, heavy lift ships should be capable of lifting landing craft, off- shore petroleum discharge systems, floating waterfront facilities (e.g.

DELONG piers) and other outsize equipment.

The fourth priority is for contain- erships to be converted to auxiliary crane ships (T-ACS). The T-ACS objective for the RRF remains at 12 ships. Two crane ships are in the

RRF, one is under conversion, three are programmed for conversion in

FY 87, and at least two more for FY

The fifth and final priority for

MSC procurement is for roll-on/ roll-off (RO/RO) ships. These ships figure prominently in both surge and resupply roles because of their versatility. The priority of the RO/

RO's has been reduced from earlier

RFP's since 13 have been recently added to the RRF.

Tanker, heavy lift, and RO/RO ships can be foreign built, but must be reflagged with work done in U.S. shipyards. All other types of ships must be U.S. built and repair/layup work done in U.S. yards.

Detailed requirements for each ship type will define the minimal operational capabilities and charac- teristics acceptable to the Govern- ment. Requirements in RFP will ad- dress basic ship characteristics, e.g., age, carrying capacity, speed and range.
