MEMORANDUM FOR THE AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS

FROM: Christopher A. Jones Contracting Officer

SUBJECT: Solicitation 15M50023RA4400003 Amendment 0002 Summary of

Requirement Updates

PURPOSE: To provide industry with additional transparency and understanding of the change in required services for the subject solicitation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Solicitation 15M50023RA4400003 for National and International Vessel Seizure Services closed on February 21, 2023. During the review period of the submitted proposals the USMS AFD Program Managers were notified that additional, exceptional vessel(s) would need to be included within the scope of the subject solicitation. The inclusion of exceptionally large vessel(s) increased the scope to a scale requiring an amendment to the previously solicited requirement.

Currently there is only one exceptional vessel on hand, however the mission of the USMS AFD presents the real possibility that additional exceptional vessels may be seized at any time; or returned/disposed.

The current intent of the USMS AFD is to include exceptional vessel(s) within the first year or two (2) of scope of the resultant contract of the subject solicitation. After this initial period of inclusion of exceptional vessel scope, these exceptional vessel(s) will transition to a new contract.

This stated intent shall not be construed as a definitive promise of a future solicitation nor contract. Additionally, the USMS AFD reserves the right to change the acquisition plan; this memo is solely to aid in understanding the current changes in scope of this solicitation.
