Navy NAVFAC EXWC (Port Hueneme, CA) plans to award a multiple-award IDIQ contract (up to four winners) for support services on shore-based manned hyperbaric (pressurized human-occupancy) systems at Navy and Department of War sites worldwide. This is an advance notice only, not the solicitation. The term is a 60-month base plus a possible 6-month extension, with an estimated value of $25,600,000, and it is a follow-on to an existing contract.
Watch out for
- No small business set-aside. Market research found too few capable small businesses, so a small firm must compete with larger companies on a $25.6M, worldwide scope.
a small business set-aside is not feasible
- Specialized technical scope and worldwide travel. Work on pressure vessels for human occupancy and diving systems at sites worldwide, including overseas, needs specialized experience and a Key Personnel plan.
The work will be performed worldwide at all shore-based locations where
- Small Business Utilization is evaluated. Even though this is not a set-aside, a plan for using small business subcontractors is part of the proposal.
- Entrenched incumbent. This is a follow-on to a current contract, so the incumbent has an advantage.
This is not a new requirement and will be a follow-on requirement.
