Combined Synopsis and Solicitation

This action will utilize commercial procedures in accordance with DFARS 252.215-7013 Supplies and Services Provided by Nontraditional Defense Contractors. This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 –Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation will be posted for less than fifteen (15) days in accordance with FAR 5.203(a)(2).

Request for Quote (RFQ) number is N66604-25-Q-0293. This requirement is being solicited as a 100% small business set-aside, as concurred with by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334511. The Small Business Size Standard is 1,350 employees.

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) purchase order on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. The contractor shall provide manufactured Radar Absorbing Surfaces model G745256-1, H HDR 1/2 Rnd (PN 7010-001), G745256-2, H HDR V-pc (PN 7010-002).

An award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable.

TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE

The Government will calculate the total evaluated price for each CLIN as follows:

The Government will multiply the unit price by the maximum quantity for each range to derive the extended price for each range.

Next, the Government will add the extended prices for all ranges of each CLIN and divide by the sum of the maximum quantity of all ranges of that CLIN to find the average unit price.

The Government will multiply the average unit price by the maximum number of units of the highest range of the CLIN per year to arrive at a total evaluated price for the CLIN.

The following is an example:

CLIN Description From

Quantity To Quantity

Unit Price Extended Price

0001 G745256-1, H HDR 1/2

Rnd

1 4 $60.00 $240.00

5 8 $50.00 $400.00 9 12 $40.00 $480.00 Total 24 $1,120.00

The total line item amount for CLIN 0001 is $1,120.00.

Average unit price = $1,120.00/24 = $46.67 Total evaluated price for CLIN 0001 = $46.67 * 12 = $560.04.

The Government will repeat the above for all years and all ranges for CLINs 0001 and 0002.

TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE:

The Government will add the multiple quantity range CLIN amounts to the total quoted prices for CLINs 0001 through 0002 to arrive at the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for the contract to determine lowest price.

**NOTE: The above step ladder ranges and prices are EXAMPLES ONLY. This example does not obligate the Government to purchase these quantities; it is simply to demonstrate the method the Government will use to calculate the total evaluated price.

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
