The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to utilize other than full and open competition to award a contract modification to the existing awarded contract N00024-20-C-5608, which modification will extend the period of performance through fiscal year (FY) 2027. The base contract was awarded to Management Services Group, Inc. doing business as Global Technical Systems (GTS) (421 South Birdneck Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) for the manufacture, assembly, and test of Network, Processing, and Storage (NPS) equipment, spares, and associated technical services, including logistics product development in support of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) 1.0.

The Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support the requirement for accomplishment of DDG 51 Class Post Shakedown Availabilities (PSAs) for four (4) DDG 51 Class Ships at the homeport of Norfolk, VA. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 336611 Ship Building and Repairing.
THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred.
PSAs are intended to accomplish correction of Government responsible trial card deficiencies; new work identified between ship custody transfer and the start of the PSA; and the incorporation of approved engineering changes which were not incorporated during the construction period and not otherwise the shipbuilder's responsibility. PSAs can vary in scope and complexity. 180,000 to 225,000 man-hour PSAs are common for DDG, and typically include additional work scope that is performed by Alteration Installation Teams (AITs) and other outside activities. The PSA is normally accomplished within a period of approximately 16 weeks, depending on the size of the PSA work package.
The Contractor is expected to provide for the necessary program management in order to adequately manage, integrate, and support the entire PSA work scope, including that work scope that is not the responsibility of the contractor to perform. In support of this, a resource-loaded Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that provides for accomplishment of the total availability work package, including AIT and other outside activity installation modifications will be required.
The Contractor will be expected to provide adequate facilities for the execution of the PSA. The executing facility should have a security clearance issued by the Defense Security Service at the SECRET level. Contractor is to provide anti-terror/force protection measures employed at the Contractor's facilities in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009-72. The Contractor is required to have the capability to dry dock a DDG-51 Class ship and sufficient resources to execute the PSA at the contractor’s facility. Warehouse/storage facilities are required to accommodate material. Additionally, the Contractor must provide indoor and outdoor production facilities capable of performing marine pre-fabrication, repair, and machining onsite. Power, compressed air, water, and sewage must be available and operational for the entirety of the PSA industrial effort. Secure, environmentally controlled facilities should be available for combat systems and electronics equipment. The Contractor shall complete work in a manner which affords for Naval Supervisory Authority certification of the PSA.
Per OPNAVINST 4700.8K, conducting the PSA at or near the ship's homeport is desirable to minimize impact on crew training and quality of life. The homeport location is Norfolk, VA.
If your organization has the potential capacity to perform the above described efforts in any or all of the locations listed above, please provide the following information: 1) Organization name, address, e-mail address, web site address, telephone number, and size and type of ownership for the organization; 2) Specific points of contact for one or more company individuals that can answer follow-up market research questions; and 3) Tailored capability statements addressing the particulars of this effort, with appropriate documentation supporting claims of organizational and staff capability. If significant subcontracting or teaming is anticipated in order to deliver technical and industrial capability, organizations should address the administrative and management structure of such arrangements.
The Government will evaluate market information to ascertain potential market capacity to 1) provide efforts consistent in scope and scale with those described in this notice and otherwise anticipated; 2) secure and apply the full range of corporate financial, human capital, and technical resources required to successfully perform similar requirements; and 3) implement a successful project management plan that includes: compliance with tight program schedules; cost containment; meeting and tracking performance; hiring and retention of personnel and risk mitigation.

2. EVALUATION FACTORS
The Government intends to award a FFP contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to
the terms of the RFP notice, is determined fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government as determined through a BVTO, Source Selection Evaluation Approach. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced or the highest rated non-price offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001, unless corrected through discussions, should the Government decide to conduct discussions. The Contracting Officer anticipates that the Solicitation will include the following evaluation factors:
Non-Price Factors
Factor 1 – Past Performance
Factor 2 – Project Approach
Factor 3 – Small Business Participation Plan
Factor 4 – Price
It is anticipated that the relative order of importance of evaluation factors is non-price Factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance to each other and each is more important than Factor 3. All non-price factors (1, 2, and 3) when combined will be approximately equal to price. However, the importance of price will increase if the offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal's superiority to the Government.
The solicitation will be issued via a bifurcated approach and amended to incorporate the following elements:
The government will initially request responses to Factors 1 and 2. When the amended design package becomes available (approximately February 2025 and March 2025), the solicitation will be amended to include the completed design documents and the offerors will be provided a revised proposal due date. At this time, responses to Factors 3 and 4 will be requested. The Government will not undertake to compare or conduct a selection decision until after all factors have been evaluated. Offerors are cautioned that the design and construction requirements may continue to evolve, particularly in this case, until all Ready To Advertise (RTA) complete construction documents are released by amendment.
In consideration of the final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) on 22 December 2023, to implement Executive Order 14063, use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on Federal Construction Projects mandated the use of PLAs where the total estimated cost of the construction contract is expected to be $35M or more. “Offerors shall submit an offer subject to Project Labor Agreement (PLA) requirements in accordance with FAR 22.504, General requirements for project labor agreements. Any PLA reached pursuant to the PLA requirements in the solicitation does not change the terms of the contract or provide for any price adjustment by the Government.”

Evaluation of Quotes
Basis for Award: CBP intends to make a single award from this RFQ. An award shall be made to the best value quote utilizing a tradeoff method between price and non-price factors, determining the quote most beneficial to the Government. Please read each section below carefully for the submittals and information required as part of the evaluation. Failure to provide the requested information below shall be considered non-compliant and your quote could be removed from the evaluation process.
Quotes need to be submitted VIA email in the following format:
Subject line of email shall read: Vendor Name, PR Number (ex. Doug’s dogs - PR 20141111) and accompanied with completed Attachment 3- Canine Proposal Information.xlsx
Failure to provide the requested information as stated shall be considered non-compliant and your quote could be removed from the evaluation process.
Quotes shall be evaluated under FAR Part 13.106-2(b) -- Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the lowest priced quoter. The Government may award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government with price and other non-price factors considered.
Quotes will be evaluated in the following a phased approach, with Phase I being pass/fail, Phase II being trade-off, and Phase III being a pass/fail technical evaluation of canines brought to CBP for physical inspection against the requirements established in Attachment 1.
Phase I
This phase will be Pass/Fail. Quotes will be evaluated based on the following factors:
Factor 1: Breed Conformance- Offerors quoting breeds other than those specified in the Statement of Work will fail this factor and be removed from further consideration for award. Offerors quoting breeds that matches those identified in the Statement of Work will pass.
Factor 2: Availability Date- Offerors quoting an availability date longer than 60 days from estimated Notice to Proceed date (see bottom of this announcement for date) will fail this factor and be removed from further consideration for award. Offerors quoting an availability date 60 days or sooner from estimated Notice to Proceed date will pass this evaluation factor.
Any offeror who fails either of the factors in Phase I will be removed from consideration for award and will not be evaluated as part of Phase II.
Phase II
Upon removal of offerors that fail either of the Phase I factors, this phase will rank offerors based on a trade-off the following non-price and price factors, listed in the order of importance:
Factor 3: Open Order/Active Notice to Proceed- Higher preference will go to those offerors who have no open CBP canine orders where delivery is not yet fully complete or open Notices to Proceed (i.e., offeror obligated to provide canines under existing order or recently authorized to provide canines for medical, physical & behavioral evaluation within the last 60 days). Lower preference will go to those offerors who have open CBP orders or Notices to Proceed.
Factor 4: Past Performance- After consideration of Factor 3, higher preference will go to those offerors who have successful past performance providing canines to CBP. Offerors who have failed to deliver sufficient number of acceptable canines under previously CBP issued orders or Notices to Proceed dating back to previous three (3) years will be given lower priority. Offerors who have succeeded in delivering acceptable quantities and quality of canines under previous CBP orders will be given higher priority.
Factor 5: Price- After consideration of Factor 3 & 4, the Government will consider price. For offerors of similar rankings in terms of Factors 3 & 4, price will become more of a consideration in determining the offeror issued a Notice to Proceed for Phase III evaluation.
Phase III
Factor 6: Canine Evaluation- Upon completion of evaluation of Phase II, the top-ranked offeror will be issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP). The NTP will require the offeror to deliver the required number of quoted canines to the location identified at the bottom of this announcement for medical, physical & behavioral evaluation as identified in Section 3 of Attachment 1- Statement of Work. The contractor is responsible for all transportation arrangements for shipment and retrieval and costs associated with those shipment and retrieval of the canine(s).
Award Decision
If at least one (1) of the delivered canines are determined acceptable per the requirements established in Section 3 of Attachment 1- Statement of Work, the offeror will pass Factor 6 and CBP will proceed to issue a purchase order for the full quantity of required canines established in the RFQ to the offeror issued the NTP at the total price quoted in Attachment 3. All other offerors evaluated in Phase II will be notified of an unsuccessful quote. Any canine(s) that fail to pass the requirements or medical, physical & behavioral evaluation performed by CBP will not be accepted, and the contractor shall bear all expenses associated with the return of the canine to the contractor’s site within 7-days after receiving notification. CBP will not be responsible for the disposition of canines that have not passed all phases of selection. The vendor is responsible to remove the canines from CBP location within 7 days of notification to do so. Replacement canines may be presented per Attachment 1- Statement of Work, Section 2(b).
Should no canines presented by the offeror issued the NTP pass the requirements or medical, physical & behavioral evaluation performed by CBP, the offeror will fail this phase, the quote will be determined unacceptable, and the presented canine(s) will be returned to the offeror, who shall bear all expenses associated with the return of the canine(s) to the contractor’s site within 7-days after receiving notification. CBP then intends to issue a NTP to the next ranked offeror from Phase II, and the process repeats until a quote passes Factor 6. This process will continue until no Phase II offerors remain. If no Phase II offeror passes Factor 6, CBP intends to cancel the RFQ.
