5. REQUEST FOR SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATION #63

SPECIFICATION ITEM NO.: N32205-15-R-1009, PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO: Bid due date from Amendment 0002.

TITLE: SOLICITATION – BLOCK 9

QUESTION:

The offeror is experiencing slow responses from potential vendors and subcontractors who have been solicited for this proposal and requested to provide quotes, due to the Thanksgiving Day Holiday celebrated on November 24 & 25 (many offerors will be closed). Additionally, West Coast offerors require at least two (2) business days to deliver the hard copy proposal to MSC Norfolk. While the offeror appreciates the value of the ship check accomplished on 9, 10 & 11 November, 2016, unfortunately, the travel consumed a week of production time.

Therefore, the offeror respectfully requests a solicitation closing date to be extended from 2, December, 2016 to 9 December 2016.

The above requested extension is necessary to allow an offeror time to disperse information obtained during from the ship check to major subcontractors and finish submitting clarifications (RFCs) to MSC. In addition, this would provide MSC time to respond to clarification questions and give an offeror time to assemble and submit a proposal that will be clear, unambiguous and the best value to MSC.

The Solicitation closing date is hereby extended from 2 December, 2016, to 9 December, 2016, by 2:00 pm, Eastern Time. This will be changed via Amendment 0005.
