About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for federal solicitation N3904026Q3151 for the rental of reefer/freezer boxes and maintenance services at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, with responses current as of September 14, 2026.
The document clarifies that this is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor currently providing these services. It is separate from two earlier solicitations (N3904026Q3042 and N3904026Q304A) posted in November 2025. Award will be made on a best-value basis in accordance with FAR clause 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items, rather than on a lowest-price-technically-acceptable basis. The required delivery date for the reefer/freezer boxes is October 19, 2026. The Q&A does not address specific pricing terms, set-asides, contract vehicles, or detailed service requirements, as it focuses solely on clarifying the competitive nature of the solicitation, incumbent status, and evaluation methodology.

Solicitation N3904026Q3151
Rental of Reefer/Freezer Boxes and Maintenance
Questions and Answers as of 9/14/2026
Q1: Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project?
A1: This is a new project.
Q2: Relationship to prior solicitations. We note that two earlier solicitations for what appears to be the same or a substantially similar requirement — N3904026Q3042 and N3904026Q304A
— were posted in November 2025 with a response date of December 12, 2025, under a different contract specialist (Christie Ashcraft). Could you confirm whether N3904026Q3151 is a re-issue of that requirement, and if so, why the prior effort did not result in an award (e.g., no compliant quotes received, budget/funding delay, or requirement change)? Understanding this would help us tailor our quote to address whatever issue prevented a prior award.
A2: This is a new requirement, separate from N3904026Q3042 and N3904026Q304A.
Q3: Current incumbent status. Is there a contractor currently providing refrigerator/freezer box rental and maintenance services to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard under an active contract or task order (including any multi-site IDIQ) that covers this requirement? If so, we'd appreciate confirmation of whether that arrangement is separate from this competition or whether it factors into your sourcing decision here.
A3: No.
Q4: Continuity of service. If an incumbent arrangement exists, will there be a gap or transition period between the end of that arrangement and the required delivery date of October 19, 2026, that offerors should account for in their delivery planning?
A4: This is a new requirement.
Q5: Basis of award. Given the "All or None" award language and CPARS evaluation mentioned in the solicitation, could you confirm whether award will be made on a lowest-price-technically-acceptable basis or a best-value/trade-off basis, and whether past performance on a specific past reefer/freezer rental contract (versus general equipment rental experience) is weighted more heavily?
A5: The basis of the award will be Best Value as can be found in 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items.
