It should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than to gain the information requested. Interested parties are encouraged to respond to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government will not pay for information, materials, and/or demonstrations received in response and is in no way obligated to respondents by or for any information received. BACKGROUND, SCOPE, AND CAPABILITY REQUIREMENTS: The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (FLCN) is requesting information to identify possible sources to provide planning, design, execution, analysis and assessment, and reporting/product delivery support for operational experimentation in Navy, joint, multi-service, and/or Allied environments. A śDRAFT ť Performance Work Statement (PWS) is posted in conjunction with this Sources Sought Notice. The anticipated period of performance for each of the above-mentioned, separate requirements is a base period of one year with four (4) one-year option periods. Anticipated NAICS Code The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541990 “ All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services and the Size Standard is $15.0 million. The Government has not yet determined whether an existing strategically sourced vehicle will be used to satisfy this requirement. If it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to utilize Seaport-E, then the applicable NAICS code and size standard will be 541330 “ Engineering Services and $15.0 million. Respondents should provide their business size in both potential NAICS. Again, THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. This is a market research tool. The input provided will help the Navy ascertain the interest, capability, and capacity of potential businesses both small and large. If you are an interested business, FLCN would appreciate your assistance in providing a Statement of Capabilities to include the following: 1)Full business name; 2)Cage code and Duns Number of business; 3)Name, phone number, and e-mail address of a company representative the Government may contact for additional information; 4)If the services can be solicited from a GSA schedule, please provide the following information: a.GSA Contract number; b.Contract period of performance (PoP) to include all options; c.List of labor categories applicable to contract; and d.If a Contract Teaming Arrangement (CTA) is required, please indicate the Company Name, Contract Number, PoP, and list of labor categories for all team members. 5)If the services can be solicited from SeaPort, please provide the following information: a.SeaPort Contract number; b.Contract period of performance (PoP) to include all options; c.List of labor categories applicable to contract; and d.If a Contract Teaming Arrangement (CTA) is required, please indicate the Company Name, Contract Number, PoP, and list of labor categories for all team members. 6)Size of business - Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantage, 8(a), Hubzone, Woman-owned and/or Service Disabled Veteran-owned; 7)Statement as to whether business is actively registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov); 8)Statement as to whether business is domestically or foreign owned (if foreign owned, please indicate country of ownership); 9)Capability statement displaying the contractor ™s ability to provide the services, to include past performance information.

If a requirement is determined to be a small business set-aside, FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting will apply. Therefore, small businesses that want to be considered for a small business set-aside should demonstrate how they could comply. Potential sources are encouraged to submit recommended small business utilization requirements as a percentage of total contract value for consideration, in the event the acquisition is not set-aside for small business. If there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small business contractors, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. If it is determined that a small business set-aside is appropriate, and your company anticipates submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for a small business set-aside, please provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. If this effort is not set-aside for small business, small business utilization will be considered. Large and small businesses should provide a reasonable expectation for small business utilization as a percent of total contract value as well as supporting rationale for the recommended percentage.
