Description

Desc: The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts Office intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Management Support Services for Naval Construction Force Table of Allowance Outsourcing. The solicitation will be advertised as UNRESTRICTED. The NAICS Code for this solicitation is 561990. The business size standard is $4M. This proposed Firm-Fixed Price/Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for material readiness will be awarded with a base year and four (4) one year options. The guaranteed minimum is the firm-fixed price portion of the contract. The contract will provide for management support services to ensure continuous availability of civil engineering support equipment (CESE) and other items of equipment in the Table of Allowance (TOA) for a possible future mobilization of certain Naval Construction Force (NCF) Reserve units, as well as the actual lease or procurement of this equipment if ordered by the Government. The project scope requires a contractor to maintain readiness to provide large quantities of CESE within a 65-day delivery period. Two option items to the contract require a similar effort for construction tools and equipment and camp support equipment. All of these items of equipment are part of the TOAs of the following six (6) Reserve units of the Naval Construction Force (NCF): four (4) Naval Mobile Construction Battalions; one (1) Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit; and one (1) Naval Construction Force Support Unit. These reserve units will be among the last NCF units to be mobilized in a contingency, and they would be given approximately 75 days to mobilize. The approximate value of the construction equipment that the contractor would supply, if mobilized, is in excess of $20M per mobilized unit. In the past, the NCF maintained material readiness for these units by stockpiling their equipment in warehouses. The approach for this proposed contract will allow for the provision newer, more efficient equipment on-demand, resulting in cost savings and greater efficiency. By leasing or procuring equipment only when actually needed, the NCF avoids the costs of stockpiling and is able to have state of the art equipment when needed. Because there is a low probability of actual procurement or lease of equipment under this proposed contract, the contractor will be paid a fixed price management fee for maintaining the readiness to perform. The contractor's management efforts are critical to the success of this contract. The contractor must always be ready to perform within the stringent timeframes allowed and must be able to demonstrate this readiness to the Government's satisfaction. The procurement or lease of the actual tools and equipment deployed during a contingency (or government test), will be provided for by use of the IDIQ portion of the contract. This solicitation includes the clause "Evaluation of Options" FAR 52.217-5. The evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, will be the BEST VALUE" to the Government, price and technical factors considered. Offerors will be evaluated on (a) Past Performance, (b) Technical Approach/Management Plan/Risk, and (c) Price.
