Questions and Answers #1 DATED 08/13/26
1. The synopsis references applicable provisions and clauses "by reference" but the full list isn't included on the notice. Can you confirm whether FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies to this requirement, and if so, which performance threshold governs?
ANSWER: I attached the full combined synopsis document that includes all the provisions and clauses as a word document. Please follow the link below and scroll to the bottom. You will se the document “Combined Synopsis_Solicitation N00244-26-Q-0027 LCAC CCI Cleaning” available for download. And yes, clause 52.219-14 applies.

2. Beyond price, is a technical approach, QC plan, or past performance references expected as part of a compliant quote, or is this a price-only evaluation?
ANSWER: The “Combined Synopsis_Solicitation N00244-26-Q-0027 LCAC CCI Cleaning” document available for download attached in SAM includes the Instructions to offerors and Evaluation criteria. Please download and make sure to read it in its entirety. Yes, technical evaluation will be done by using tradeoff evaluation. The solicitation document has the evaluation criteria.
3. Is a site visit being offered prior to close?

4. The synopsis notes the 20-LCAC/year figure is for estimation only. Can you confirm the CLINs are priced as a flat monthly rate regardless of actual craft volume?
