About this file

This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation 1305M226Q0097, issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Eastern Administrative Division (EAD-OMAO) office in Norfolk, Virginia. The amendment was effective April 24, 2026, with quotes due by 1100 ET on May 11, 2026.

The amendment provides government responses to five questions submitted by potential offerors regarding the solicitation. Key clarifications include: (1) confirmation that this is a 100% Small Business set-aside opportunity, not unrestricted; (2) confirmation that NOAA requires the successful offeror to provide machinery and operators to offload spools (each weighing approximately 30,000 pounds) and move them into storage position at an undeveloped storage yard facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi at the end of Krebs Avenue; (3) clarification that the successful offeror must coordinate delivery schedules with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and NOAA facility manager, with deliveries accommodated at any time during normal business hours when preferred; (4) confirmation that NOAA's storage yard has no heavy machinery or cranes available, so the offeror must provide all equipment and certified operators for offloading and storage; and (5) reiteration that the offeror is responsible for providing all equipment and operators for these services. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

Amendment 0001 is issued to provide the

Government's responses to questions received for this Solicitation.

The Government's responses are as follows:

1). It appears that this has been updated to reflect unrestricted as opposed to small business set aside. Is this correct?

Answer: No, this opportunity is a 100% Small

Business set-aside. It has not been updated to

Unrestricted.

2) Is NOAA actually requesting machinery and operator to unload and store product in their outdoor yard? And if so, what logistics are needed to provide work and services in a government storage facility?

Answer: NOAA wants the spools stored at their own facility in Pascagoula. It's an undeveloped storage yard at the end of Krebs Ave in

Pascagoula. There's no equipment available here that could handle those spools. We don't have specific requirements for unloading and transport. The successful Offeror shall provide equipment and operators to offload spools and move them into storage position at the storage facility.

3) Because this is likely to be an import product and shipping times are estimates, will there be contact with storage facility staff to establish a window of time to facilitate the offload and storage as requested?

Answer: The successful Offeror will provide a schedule of deliverables to the Contracting

Officer's Representative (COR). All deliveries shall be discussed in advance with the COR and

NOAA facility manager. NOAA can accommodate a delivery at any time, normal business hours are preferred.

4) Does the NOAA storage yard have access to heavy machinery for manipulation on this product? Each spool will weigh approximately

30,000lbs, that will need to be moved at some time.

Answer: The successful Offeror shall provide equipment and operators to offload spools and move them into storage position at the storage facility.

5) If the storage yard has heavy machinery available with certified staff, perhaps the RFQ should reflect this. (example would be personally I could be on site to label and help with dunnage, though I am not comfortable operating the heavy machinery in an offsite location like this.)

Answer: NOAA does not have any cranes or lifts heavy enough to unload the spools. The successful Offeror shall provide equipment and operators to offload spools and move them into storage position at the storage facility.

All other terms and conditions of Solicitation

1305M226Q0097 remain unchanged.

Quotes are due by 1100 ET on May 11, 2026.
