Q&As ver.1

The Government continues to provide port security barriers to some, but not all Naval Ship Repair companies in Norfolk, VA, having paid for both the acquisition and installation of these barriers as well as covering ongoing maintenance. As a Category I Standard Item, all offerors are required to provide this level of protection for Navy ships at contractor facilities.

By providing required facility equipment free of charge to some, but not all potential offerors, and not also providing a mechanism in a solicitation’s evaluation of total cost to account for this inequity, the Government would be supporting an unfair competitive advantage that it created.

We request that the Government add the requirement for contractors to provide the price to support NAVSEA Standard Item 009-72 and have it subtracted from the offeror’s total evaluated price. Please add the appropriate information in the RFP and attachment J-4 for 009-72 to provide equity between offeror’s proposals. In lieu of this, the Government can pay for the acquisition, installation and maintenance of port security barriers at the facilities of all offerors who have not previously received this facility equipment from the Government in order to maintain competitive fairness on this and future solicitations. Attachment J-4 is updated to include the deduction associated with NSI 009-72. Offerors are encouraged to provide supporting documentation to provide supporting documentation for this value within their Volume 2 Price Proposal.
