For bidding/proposal purposes, the estimated effective date of contract award is December 2026.
L-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS
THIS REQUIREMENT IS FOR SEAPORT CONTRACT HOLDERS ONLY.
(a) This is a competitive fair opportunity selection conducted In Accordance With (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.507-2. Orders placed under FAR 16.507-2 Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts are not subject to the policies in FAR subpart 15.1 Accordingly, issuance of an order under this Fair Opportunity, should an award be made, shall follow the ordering procedures outlined in FAR 16.507, as supplemented.
(b) The proposal shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Seaport NxG IDIQ Multiple Award Contract (MAC) and the requirements of this Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR), including all attachments. All claimed capabilities to meet the requirements shall be realistic and are subject to verification by the Government.
(c) All proposals must be UNCLASSIFIED. Proposals shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of stated claims. Offerors are cautioned that proposals should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements.
Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal.
(d) Statements that the Offeror will provide a particular service or objective without explaining how the Offeror proposes to meet that service or objective are generally inadequate and may adversely affect the Government's evaluation of the Offeror.
Also inadequate are the following types of statements, including but not limited to:
(1) unsupported statements that the Offeror understands the requirements and risks
(2) unsupported statements that the Offeror can or will comply with requirements
(3) unsupported statements that merely restate or paraphrase the requirements
(4) undefined or unexplained statements such as "best commercial practices will be used"
(5) undefined or unexplained statements such as "standard procedures will be used"
(6) undefined or unexplained statements such as "well-known techniques will be employed"
(e) Discrepancies. If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the Offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error.
(f) Definitions. In the context of task order procurements, as used in this provision --
"In writing," "writing," or "written" means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.
"Interchanges" are fluid interactions (written and/or oral) between the Government and offerors that may address any evaluation factor, or any aspect of the proposal. Interchanges may be initiated by the Contracting Officer to permit an efficient task order competition. The Contracting Officer may limit interchanges and/or proposal revisions to only those proposals that stand the greatest likelihood of representing the most advantageous to the Government. Interchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.
"Proposal modification" is a change made to a proposal before the FOPR's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.
"Proposal revision" is a change to a proposal made after the FOPR closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of interchanges.

"Time," if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.
"Complete Proposal" is a submission that includes all information detailed in the Proposal Format Tile Table L-2(b).
"Major subcontractor" is defined as any cost reimbursement subcontractor performing 49% or more of total labor hours in Section B.
"Minor Subcontractors" are all non-Major cost reimbursement subcontractors and all Fixed price (e.g., FFP, FPIF, or T&M) subcontractors. However, where otherwise minor cost reimbursement subcontractors cumulatively perform 20% or more of the total hours under CLINs 0001 - 4003, then all cost-reimbursement subcontractors are considered "major subcontractors" and must propose as such.
(g) Amendments to FOPRs. If this FOPR is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this FOPR by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).
(h) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.
(1) Offerors (prime and all subcontractors) shall submit their proposals electronically according to the instructions contained in this provision. Each electronic file shall be clearly named in accordance with FOPR provision L-2, and shall not contain classified data. Paper submissions will not be accepted for this FOPR. All text-based and signed documents, including the Cover Letter, Resumes, Letters of Intent, Cost Narrative, and the signed Standard Form (SF) 33, shall be submitted as searchable Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf) files. All cost data and spreadsheets shall be submitted as Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) files. Excel files must be fully operable, with all formulas intact and visible in all applicable cells. "Value-only" or locked spreadsheets are strictly prohibited. All files shall use file formats compatible with Windows 10/Microsoft Office and use naming conventions in accordance with the Table in provision L-2. No files shall be password protected.
(2) Proposals are due by the date and time specified in block 9 of the SF 33.
(3) Electronic Submission Required: Proposals shall be submitted electronically via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment Capabilities (PIEE) Solicitation Module to Ashleigh Becker. Electronic files shall be compatible with Microsoft Excel (*.xlsx), Microsoft PowerPoint (*.pptx), and /or Adobe (*.pdf) format. Faxes, e-mails, and/or responses through the System for Award Management (SAM) or any other method are not acceptable.
PIEE Registration: Offerors must have an active PIEE account and be registered as a "Proposal Manager" to submit an offer. Offerors are strongly encouraged to register and verify their access well in advance of the proposal due date.
Timeliness: The PIEE system will automatically record the date and time of proposal receipt. Offerors are responsible for ensuring all files are completely uploaded and the submission is finalized prior to the exact time and date specified in Block 9 of the SF-33. The Government highly recommends initiating the upload process at least 24 hours prior to the deadline to account for any technical delays or file size processing times.
SF-33 Completion: The Offeror must complete Blocks 12 through 18 of the Standard Form 33 (SF-33) and sign the document. The signed SF-33 must be included in the submission package via PIEE.
(4) Any major subcontractor (defined as performing 49% or more of the total proposed labor hours, or subcontractors cumulatively performing 20% or more of the total hours) is required to submit a fully detailed, unsanitized cost proposal. To protect proprietary data, subcontractors shall NOT provide this unsanitized data to the Prime Contractor. Instead, subcontractors must submit their unsanitized cost proposals directly to the Government using the PIEE Solicitation Module, using Attachment 0004 Cost Proposal Template.
System Access: The Subcontractor must have their own active PIEE account with the "Proposal Manager" role.
Submission Process: The Subcontractor shall navigate to the PIEE Solicitation Module, search for solicitation number N6600126R3608, and upload their files as a separate offer.
File Naming Convention: The Subcontractor must clearly name their uploaded files to identify their role and the Prime Contractor they are teaming with. (Example: "SUBCONTRACTOR COST VOLUME - [Insert Subcontractor Name] - Prime: [Insert Prime Contractor Name]").
Subcontractor Deadline: Subcontractor submissions are subject to the exact same deadline as the Prime Contractor's proposal. Late subcontractor cost submissions will render the Prime Contractor's overall proposal incomplete and subject to rejection.
(5) All questions, concerns, or requests for clarification regarding this solicitation must be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist, Ashleigh Becker, at . Questions must be submitted no later than June 9, 2026, at 18:00 Pacific Time. ashleigh.n.becker.civ@us.navy.mil The Government makes no guarantee that questions received after this deadline will be answered.

(1) Mark the cover letter with the following legend:
This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed -- in whole or in part --for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a task order is awarded to this offeror as a result of -- or in connection with -- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting task order.
This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction.

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.
(j) Task Order award.
(1) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.
(2) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities/omissions in proposals received, or allow for the correction of these issues through interchanges.
(3) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Offerors shall use the labor categories provided above in Attachment 0004. If the Offeror's internal labor category designations do not align precisely with the Government's, the Offeror shall provide a cross-reference map. Any unburdened direct labor rate proposed the Government's estimated below hourly rate (including applicable escalation for out-years) will be adjusted upwards to the estimated rate during the Government's cost realism analysis.
Direct Labor Rates
The proposal shall identify: (i) proposed labor categories and hours; (ii) direct unburdened hourly rates; and (iii) the source/basis of the rates. Rates shall utilize a 40-hour work week and exclude loading factors.
To verify realism, the Offeror (and subcontractors) shall submit a cost narrative with substantiating documentation. Acceptable documentation includes (in order of preference):
Current Payroll: The most recent payroll run for named individuals. The payroll data must clearly and mathematically link to the proposed rate. (e.g., If proposing $60/hr, the payroll document cannot demonstrate a $70/hr actual rate without explanation).
Letters of Intent: Signed letters for contingent hires indicating agreed-upon annual salary/hourly rates.
3. Forward Pricing Rates: Copies of current DCMA FPRA/FPRR or DCAA audit reports.
If proposed rates are not supported by the documentation above, and are lower than the Government Estimated Minimum Direct Rates in the table above, the Government will adjust the rates upward to the Government's estimated rate during cost realism analysis.
Do not submit average or composite labor rates for named Key Personnel. For option years, Offerors shall not propose a direct labor escalation rate lower than 2%. Proposing less than 2% may result in an upward cost realism adjustment.
Indirect Rates
Identify the proposed indirect rates, the cost pools they are applied to, and the source of the rates (e.g., FPRA, FPRP, Provisional Billing Rates). If approved rates do not exist, submit historical actual incurred rates for the three years prior to the current fiscal year. If a proposed rate is below the three-year historical average, provide a narrative justifying the discrepancy.
Fee
Identify the fee rate and total amount. Do not propose fee on FCCOM, Other Direct Costs (ODCs), or on indirect costs applied to ODCs. Per the SeaPort NxG basic contract, maximum fee on CPFF orders is 8%; however, Offerors may propose a lower competitive fixed-fee amount.
Other Direct Costs (ODCs)
Offerors shall propose ODCs EXACTLY as specified below. No fee may be applied to ODCs; however, standard indirect expenses (e.g., G&A, M&H) may be applied in accordance with disclosed accounting practices.
CLIN Period Total ODC Estimate
0002 Base $50,000
1002 Option Year 1 $50,000
2002 Option Year 2 $50,000
3002 Option Year 3 $50,000
4002 Option Year 4 $50,000
Subcontractors
The Prime Offeror shall list all subcontractors, specifying contract type and business size. Subcontractors receiving CPFF awards must have an adequate accounting system. For FFP or T&M subcontracts, the Prime must explain why another contract type is appropriate and provide the fair and reasonable price analysis (FAR 52.244-2).
Major subcontractors must submit separate, unsanitized cost volumes directly to the Government via the PIEE Solicitation Module prior to the proposal deadline to protect proprietary data.
Uncompensated Overtime
Of the total staff-hours of direct labor set forth above, the estimated competitive uncompensated overtime is zero (0) staff hours.
Accounting System
Offerors and CPFF Subcontractors must have an adequate accounting system to be eligible for award. Ensure DCAA/DCMA proof of adequacy is included in the Cover Letter/Proposal.
L-1 NOTICE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (DEC 1999)
(a) The Offeror's attention is directed to FAR Subpart 9.5 as this FOPR contains a clause relating to organizational conflicts of interest.
(b) If the Offeror or any proposed subcontractor believes it may have an actual, potential, or mitigated OCI, they shall submit an OCI Mitigation Plan.
(c) If the Prime determines no potential OCI exists at any tier, include a statement to that effect. Each subcontractor with no identified OCI shall state such on company letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, and included in the Prime's proposal.
L-3 SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC PROPOSALS
(a) PIEE Requirement: Offerors (Prime and all Major Subcontractors) shall submit their proposals electronically via the PIEE Solicitation Module.
Paper submissions, faxes, and email submissions will NOT be accepted for this FOPR.
(b) Timeliness: Proposals are due by the date and time specified in block 9 of the SF-33. The PIEE system timestamp will act as the official record of receipt. Proposals will be considered "late" unless the offeror's COMPLETE PROPOSAL (including any required subcontractor PIEE submissions) is finalized in the PIEE system prior to the closing date and time.
(c) File Formatting: Each electronic file shall be clearly named in accordance with the table in FOPR provision L-2 and shall not contain classified data. The files shall be in original searchable text format; and Microsoft Excel for all spreadsheets. All Excel files shall be operable (i.e., formulas should be included and visible in all applicable cells). All signed documents shall be submitted as searchable Adobe Acrobat .pdf files. No files shall be password protected.
(d) Subcontractor Coordination: Subcontractors shall send a sanitized proposal directly to the Prime Offeror for inclusion in the Prime's Cost Volume.
The Prime Offeror shall not include a copy of the subcontractor's unsanitized proposal in their submission. Major subcontractors are solely responsible for ensuring their unsanitized cost volumes are uploaded directly to the PIEE Solicitation Module prior to the deadline.
