INDUSTRY BRIEFING TO DISCUSS IDIQ CONTRACTS AND CPAR'S FOR THE LEONARDO,NEW JERSEY AREA On 23 June 1999 (9:00AM) at Naval Weapons Station, Colts Neck, New Jersey SUPSHIP Portsmouth will conduct an "Industry Briefing" to discuss proposed Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to support U. S. Navy, AOE Class ships located in the Leonardo, New Jersey area. The purpose of this briefing is to discuss the procedures required for the solicitation and award of IDIQ contracts under Best Value Contracting and the Department of the Navy Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPAR's). IDIQ contracts are designed to satisfy our customers' many requirements for emergent ship repair; where the Government cannot predict those requirements,with a great deal of certainty. These contracts are usually for a base year and 4 option years and are structured so specifics on quantities, delivery and the statement of work are provided by an individual task order placed against the basic contract. Many of these solicitations may result in multiple awards. IDIQ contracts are being awarded utilizing Best Value Source Selection. Each contract will contain Minimum and Maximum values. CPAR's is a Government requirement to accomplish a past performance assessment of a contractor's performance on contracts exceeding $500,000 ( in accordance with FAR 42.15). All CPAR's information contained within the assessment may be utilized by the Government for future source selection. If your firm is interested in attending this briefing FAX a response with the number and names of people who will be attending to Mr. Dick Ydoyaga at (757) 396-7176 no later than 17 June 1999. If you have any questions I can be reached at (757) 396-5041 ext 425. Posted 04/30/99 (W-SN326204).
