A02.10 Questionnaire for IWR DDVOCs.docx

This file is a questionnaire for potential respondents to the USACE Mission Support Battalion's sources sought notice regarding the compilation of ocean-going self-propelled deep-draft vessel operating costs (DDVOCs). The questionnaire does not address specific required products or services, but rather serves as a market research tool to gather information from interested industry sources about their capabilities and capacity to perform work related to vessel operating cost compilation. Respondents are expected to complete this questionnaire along with their submission describing their qualifications to execute the tasks outlined in the accompanying Performance Work Statement. The questionnaire responses are to be submitted separately and are not subject to the 15-page submission limit established for the primary proposal documents.

As part of the sources sought process, the Government intends to use questionnaire responses to determine whether a sufficient pool of qualified small businesses exists to warrant a small business set-aside, or whether full and open competitive procedures will be necessary. All submissions should be in PDF format, single-spaced using 12-point font with one-inch margins, and submitted by the deadline specified in the solicitation announcement. Oral communications will not be accepted, and the Government will not rank submissions or reimburse respondents for preparation costs.
