A request for clarification was submitted in response to the presolicitation synopsis for the USS Michigan FY19 ERP. Specifically, the question pertains to the following sentence contained in the synopsis:

Contractors performing preservation work shall be SSPC QP-1 certified (no equivalency allowed).

Question submitted is as follows:

Does the Prime Contractor need to be QP-1 qualified or is ONLY the contractor doing the preservation work being QP-1 sufficient?

Response to the question is listed below:

The requirement is for the contractor performing the preservation work to be SSPC QP-1 certified. Therefore, evidence of a subcontractor performing the preservation work holding the necessary certifications would be sufficient.
