26Q0036-RFC.docx

This is a Request for Specification Clarification (RFC) form template for SWRMC (Southwest Regional Maintenance Center) contracting activities. The form is designed to document contractor questions regarding federal contract specifications and requirements, with fields for the solicitation number, ship/hull identification, item numbers, and title of work. The form includes sections for contractor points of contact, the specific question being posed, and internal government review documentation areas for technical review, planner review, supervisor review, Code 230 review, advanced planning review, and specification/drawing/requirements/material change tracking. This particular instance references USS ANCHORAGE (LPD-23) under solicitation N5523626Q0033 for CIS-Scaffolding work, with SWRMC points of contact Esther Cing and Dayen Lagunas listed for question submissions.

The form serves as a procedural mechanism within the Navy's contracting process to allow bidders to seek clarifications on solicitation documents prior to quote submission. While this specific RFC document appears to be a blank or template form with placeholder information and attached images, it is part of the broader RFQ N5523626Q0036 for scaffolding labor, services, equipment, and materials for USS Anchorage scheduled for 02-13 March 2026. Contractors must submit questions using this RFC form directed to the Contract Specialist only, and all quoted companies must maintain an approved NAVSEA Standard item 009-04 quality management system to be eligible for award under this total small business set-aside solicitation.
