R -- REQUEST FOR INDUSTRY COMMENT ON THE INTEGRATED INSTALLATION CONTRACT -- DRAFT SOWS AND MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES The accompanying linked files are provided to industry for general review and comment and represent the DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW) requirements for the upcoming Integrated Installation procurement. All firms interested in this acquisition are invited to review the accompanying documents (see URL address below for link to Draft Documents) and provide comments in writing to SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston by 3:00 PM EDT on 28 May 99 (see e-mail/fax number below). SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston may incorporate industry comments in part or in whole into the formal Request for Proposal (RFP). The government is NOT soliciting proposals at this time. The intent of this Special Notice is to obtain industry comment on the Draft SOWs and conduct market research for potential offerors. In particular, SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston is interested in industry comments regarding: (1) Any areas in the Draft SOWs where the instructions, terms and conditions, and/or requirements are ambiguous, unclear, incomplete, or restrictive; (2) Any alternate approaches to the general format and structure of the draft SOWs; and/or (3) Any areas where requirements or services in the Draft SOWs can be better defined or described by commercial practices and result in a lower price to the government. It should be noted that the attached Draft SOWs are separated by area, i.e., Shore installations and Afloat installations. However, it is the government's intent to restructure these Draft SOWs into a single SOW that combines commonality. These Draft SOWs are available on the SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston Future Opportunities Web Site at the URL address noted below. Reference Solicitation Number N65326-99-R-0568. The proposed procurement is part of SPAWAR's acquisition streamlining initiatives. The proposed procurement is intended to result in a ship and shore installation contract(s) which will assist the government in accomplishing the objective of integrating and managing all aspects of installations to achieve maximum efficiency in cost, schedule, and quality of installs. More specifically, the government's objectives include consolidating individual installations into integrated packages of installs to take advantage of economies of scale in the use of contractor-provided services and minimizing the time required to accomplish installs, issuing fewer task orders resulting in reduced contractor management expenses, and reducing travel and per diem through the use of localized labor forces.
