What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking facility support services for the Naval Research Laboratory, with a total small business set-aside under NAICS 561210. This opportunity is a sources sought notice, indicating that the government is gathering information rather than soliciting bids at this stage. Interested small businesses should focus on the current Performance Work Statement (PWS) and annexes for scope assessment, as no historical workload data or significant changes to reporting requirements are expected.
Analysis by Mindy, grounded in the SAM.gov notice.
Description
Q1: The notice indicates that no historical contract reference is available. To the extent permitted
during market research, is the Government able to clarify whether any workload information
(such as counts of facilities, historical volumes of service orders or preventive maintenance
activities) will be released later in the process, or whether offerors should rely solely on the
current PWS and annexes when assessing scope?
A1: The offerors should rely on the current PWS and annexes when assessing the scope.
Q2: The PWS includes substantial requirements related to MAXIMO (e.g., data reporting,
inventory updates, condition assessments). Should industry expect any refinements to these data
or reporting requirements prior to a formal solicitation, or should we assume the existing
structure in Annex 0200000 and related annexes will remain largely unchanged?
A2: The existing structure in annex 020000 and related annexes will remain unchanged.
Q3: Several annexes reference recurring work limits of liability and the circumstances under
which work transitions to non-recurring. For planning purposes, is the Government anticipating
any updates to these thresholds or processes as the acquisition progresses?
A3: We plan to leave the limits of liability and all thresholds the same.
