About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding solicitation number N0017323QKN21 from the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research for the refurbishment of an anechoic chamber. Security clearance requirements can be waived for personnel on-site for less than one week to complete installation, demonstration of the chamber, reinstallation of absorber, and fixing of doors. If the vendor can complete all work within two weeks, the security clearance requirement can be waived entirely, though the Navy cannot provide escorts for more than one two-week period and will charge $4,000 per day for additional escort costs if the schedule is not met.

N0017323QKN21

N0017323QKN21 RFQ Q&A_v1
QUESTION:
In the Statement of Work dated 7/21/2023 under Attachment 2, line 2.1 it states:
QUOTE:
Attachment 2: Security and Work Restrictions
2.1 Security Clearance Requirements
All personnel working onsite on this project must have at a minimum a final SECRET clearance.
UNQUOTE
Neither the installation Technicians with (redacted), nor the anechoic VSWR testing Technicians of the 3rd party (redacted), will have SECRET clearance.
Is it possible to waive this requirement? If not, we will have to decline to submit a firm fixed proposal.
ANSWER:
The requirement can be waived for personnel that will be on-site for less than 1-week (VSWR Testing Technician) [This short duration exception is called out in the SOW].
If the company can complete the demo of the chamber and re-installation of absorber and fix the doors in less than 1-week, NRL can waive the requirement completely (Install + VSWR test can take 2 weeks).
NRL has a secure building and must provide escorts for the duration of the project. NRL cannot provide multiple escorts for a multi-week project.
If the vendor comes back with a schedule that completes in under 2-weeks, and can’t meet the schedule, the penalty shall be the cost of escorts. NRL’s escort cost is $4K/day (2 people/day).
