Transportation, Dismantling, and Disposal of Ex-Long Beach (CGN 9)

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks potential sources capable of transporting, dismantling, de-militarizing, and disposing of the ex-Long Beach (CGN 9) ship, including its defueled reactor plants. All work must be performed within the United States. The Navy is conducting market research to understand industry capabilities for this complex project, which involves managing hazardous materials, radiological waste, and compliance with various regulations. The Navy anticipates holding an Industry Day in mid-June 2026, followed by a formal RFI response submission two weeks after the event. The RFI requests detailed technical approaches, company experience, and risk assessments related to vessel transportation, reactor plant dismantling, and non-radiological component recycling. Specific considerations include transportation methods, facility requirements, safety protocols, and environmental compliance.
