6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable: The

Government intends to post a synopsis and a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Ship Repair

Availability at the Government Point of Entry, beta.SAM website, with the intent of awarding a firm-fixed-price contract to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror. Any prospective contractor will be required to use the OEM or OEM authorized vendor(s) as a subcontractor to perform the work on the related WIs.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost: The Contracting Officer will make a determination if the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR Part 15.

8. Market Research: The USNS PATUXENT (TAO-201) is home ported in Norfolk, VA and therefore, is known as an east coast asset. All non-emergent vessel repairs are conducted on the east coast. The basis for the market research was to collect historical information from the ship’s last four (4) vessel repair availabilities. Purchase Order’s N32205- 18-C-4003, N32205- 17-C-4003, N32205-16-C-4003 and N32205-15-C-1003 were the contract numbers identified.

In researching this information, similarities were discovered in that each of the (4) contracts were procured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS, 336611, with a standard business size standard of 1,000 employees and that all of the identified contracts were awarded as a FFP, type of contract.

9. A Listing of the Sources, if any that Expressed, in writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: A

Sources Sought Notification was posted beta.SAM on 12 December 2020. This was conducted in order to identify potential sources that were capable of performing the work identified in thework package. Gulf Copper and Manufacturing; GI Industrial-Marine, LLC; East Coast Repair and

Fabrication, LLC; Boston Ship Repair, LLC; BAE Systems Ship Repair, Inc.; and Alabama

Shipyard, LLC sent responses indicating they were interested and had the resources available to perform the work.

10. Actions to Removed Barriers to Future Competition: For reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, MSC has no plans at this time to allow prime contractors to solicit these requirements competitively, other than synopsizing the requirements. If another potential source emerges, MSC

Norfolk will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
