About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document clarifying requirements for solicitation N4215826Q0036, an on-site core sampling procurement for Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The document addresses ten inquiries regarding core sampling specifications, testing requirements, scheduling, and administrative procedures.
Core sampling specifications require samples with approximately 4-inch diameter and minimum 6-inch depth to determine asbestos/building material (A/B) presence in wall samples. Testing must adhere to Virginia state standards, with asbestos as the primary analytical concern. Laboratory analysis results must be documented in a report identifying sample numbers and results per building sampled. The proposal submission deadline is 21 September 2026 by 1500 hours. Clarifications note that Building 268 was removed from the sampling scope due to eliminated work requirements, and the Statement of Work was updated to remove erroneous language regarding trailer removal or demolition requirements and to address CLIN structure information. Personnel requiring DBIDS cards and NAVSEA badges for site access should allow approximately 10 business days from documentation submission for security determination, relevant to Group 1 sampling scheduled to commence 10 October 2026.

CORE SAMPLING
Q&A
1. Required size/diameter of the core samples
0. Required diameter for core should be large enough to determine if A/B is present in sampled walls. Approximately 4” dia
1. Required depth of the core samples
1. A minimum depth of 6”
1. Type(s) of laboratory analysis required
2. Asbestos analysis is our primary concern
1. Specific assessments or testing to be performed on the samples
3. Primary assessment with the presence of A/B in the wall sampled.
1. Any applicable testing standards, reporting requirements, or other technical specifications
4. Testing standards should adhere to state standards. Reporting should be a document that states sample number and results per sample, a report is to be generated per building sampled.
1. Proposal Due Date/Time: The solicitation states that quotes are due “by the deadline,” but does not specify an actual due date or time. Could you please confirm the exact submission date & time?
5. Proposal deadline has been updated in SAM.gov to 21 September 2026 by 1500.
1. Building 268 (Group 3): The performance schedule identifies Group 3 as Buildings 61, 62, 260, 261, and 268; however, Building 268 does not appear in the core sampling quantity table.
6. Work for B268 is no longer needed. Sample quantity was removed from the table, but failed to be removed in the grouping.
1. Instructions to Offerors, Item 7: This item requests a “technical description of removal or demolition of the trailers” and related equipment (e.g., cranes, trailers). This requirement does not appear to align with the core sampling scope described elsewhere in the solicitation. Please confirm whether this requirement applies to this procurement or was included in error.
7. Statement of Work has been updated to reflect the correct information.
1. CLIN Structure: The solicitation requests pricing “with the assigned CLIN,” but a CLIN schedule or pricing table does not appear to be included. Could you please provide the applicable CLIN to prepare pricing accordingly?
8. Statement of Work has been updated to reflect the correct information.
1. DBIDS/Badging Lead Time: Group 1 sampling is scheduled to begin October 10, 2026. Could you please advise on the expected lead time for DBIDS cards and NAVSEA badges to ensure contractor personnel can obtain site access by the scheduled start date?
9. All personnel who currently does not have DBIDS and NAVSEA badges will require approximately 10 business days from submission of documentation before a determination of whether applied personnel are permitted DBIDs and NAVSEA badging via the security group.
1. Core Sample Analysis: Please clarify what hazardous material(s) or analyte(s) the core samples are required to be tested and the required laboratory analysis method or applicable standard.
10. Asbestos is the primary concern for core testing. Applicable standards or methods should adhere to those accepted by the state of Virginia
