GOVERNMENT PRE AWARD INQUIRY FORM

BLUF: we are requesting that the PP requirement for the SB prime to use a SB subcontractor be removed, and replaced with "subcontractor" only, removing the distinction that the Sub be a

SB.

Over the years, having followed several NAVFAC procurements in NAICS 561210, we have been stopped short of responding to the RFP with our SB prime because the RFP dictates that first-tier subcontractors be SB.

Lastly, something critical in NAVFAC RFPs we see is the annual contract value threshold for past performance consideration. For this RFP it is $12M.

The question we always consider is what if a firm had $11M?

Would they be any less qualified if they met the size, scope and complexity requirements? One suggestion we have seen from other agencies is to simply edit your PP template to require contractors to show what they have done, PER ANNEX, on each PP reference. It seems logical (from our perspective) to see if someone is qualified if they detail the scope from another contract, to demonstrate compliance to your requirement(s).

The non-price/technical factors included in the solicitation do not require that first-tier subcontractors be small businesses, nor do they prevent the use of large subcontractors. The Corporate Experience and Past Performance Factors are written to comply with the following Small Business Administration regulations, which apply when a Small Business Prime Contractor is unable to meet the experience and/or past performance requirements of the RFP on its own:

13 C.F.R. 125.2(g), says: "When an offer of a small business prime contractor includes a proposed team of small business subcontractors and specifically identifies the first-tier subcontractor(s) in the proposal, the head of the agency must consider the capabilities, past performance, and experience of each first tier subcontractor that is part of the team as the capabilities, past performance, and experience of the small business prime contractor if the capabilities, past performance, and experience of the small business prime does not independently demonstrate capabilities and past performance necessary for award."

13 C.F.R. 125.11(c)(4), says: "Evaluation. When evaluating the past performance of a small business concern that elected to use a rating for its offer on a prime contract, a contracting officer shall consider the concern's experience and rating of past performance as a first-tier subcontractor. This includes where the small business concern lacks a past performance rating as a prime contractor in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), or successor system used by the Federal Government to monitor or rate contractor past performance."

Please note, as a small business set-aside and a services contract (NAICS 561210), there are certain limitations on subcontracting dictated by the clause at FAR 52.219-14 (DEV 2021-O0008), included in the solicitation (see the clause for the full text).

In regards to the relevancy size requirement, the factor will remain unchanged. The Agency has taken into consideration the estimated annual value of the recurring work for the solicitation, the minimum annual dollar value used in the prior solicitation, as well as the complexity and magnitude of the procurement in order to establish the minimum size required to ensure successful performance without unduly restricting competition.

2 11/13/2025

In the RFP, the PP req states in (1) Factor 1, Corporate Experience: (a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: ... An offeror may rely on the prime contractor experience of the first-tier small business subcontractor(s) to demonstrate experience if the experience of the small business prime does not independently demonstrate the capabilities necessary for award, provided the offeror submits the following: (i) Specifically identify the proposed team of first-tier small business subcontractor(s) (ii) Teaming agreement/Letter of commitment.

We have seen this PP model exclusively with NAVFAC in the past. We are trying to understand how, or why, in a SB set aside contract, the SB prime has to use a SB subcontractor. We are not aware of any FAR regulations or other federal agency which dictates who a prime must use as their subcontractor, when the focus is on ensuring the prime meets the limitations on subcontracting to be complaint as a SB themselves.

See Response to GPI #1

10 12/2/2025 60-61 RFP, Section M M.4.3.b.1.a Would the Government please confirm that the requirement to provide a Teaming Agreement/Letter of Commitment does not apply to first-tier large business subcontractors?

Factor 1 only requires the submission of a Teaming Agreement/letter of commitment if the offeror proposes to rely on the prime contractor experience of corporate affiliates or first-tier small business subcontractors.

However, the Responsibility Determination Binder requires signed letters of commitment from significant subcontractors (subcontracts exceeding 10% of the total contract value).

M.4.3.b.1

The submittal instructions appear to limit corporate experience and past performance references from subcontractors to "first-tier small business subcontractor(s)." The Amendment 0001 GPI Response #1 state that this was not the Government's intention, stating "The non-price/technical factors included in the solicitation do not require that first-tier subcontractors be small businesses, nor do they prevent the use of large subcontractors."

Would the Government consider revising Section M to clarify this point, specifically by changing the references to "first-tier small business subcontractor(s)" to state "first-tier large or small business subcontractors"?

This will clearly allow offerors to demonstrate the capabilities brought to the team by their large business subcontractors.

No. This is a small business set-aside. Refer to GPI Response #1. The non-price/technical factors included in the solicitation do not require that first-tier subcontractors be small businesses, nor do they prevent the use of large subcontractors.

The Small Business Administration regulations do not allow the use of/reliance on large business subcontractor experience when a Small Business Prime Contractor is unable to meet the experience and/or past performance requirements of the RFP on its own.

If maintenance of GFI is "at no additional cost to the Government," does that mean all costs of labor and materials to perform such maintenance should not be captured in NAVFAC Maximo? Please clarify what data should be captured in NAVFAC Maximo for GFI maintenance.

C-1606000 Water 3.1

Spec Item under Related Information on page 238 states in part, "Operation consists of “watch-standing” or attendance type work by a sufficient staff of qualified persons during a specified time period to ensure safe, reliable, efficient production and distribution of drinking water." Then on page 240 it states, "The water treatment plant shall be operated 8 hours a day between 0700 and 1630 during the week and 4 hours a day on weekends and holidays."

Does the Navy want physical presence for only 8 of the 9.5 hours during the 0700 - 1630 daily time period? This is a bit confusing.

Please clarify.

The water plant operator hours should be 0700-1600 with one hour for lunch for a total of 8 hrs & 4 hours a day on weekends and Holidays. See updated Section C Annex 1606000 Spec Item 3.1 Operation via Amendment 0003.

Section F.2;

Section M.4.3.a.2.c;

J-0200000-23 ELINs

Section B includes CLINs 0017 and 0018 which are Option 8, extension. This totals 9 years.

Section F.2, CONTRACT TERM, states:

"The estimated start date is 01 January 2027. The initial contract term of performance is for one year. The entire duration of the contract if all options are exercised is eight years (96 months).

There are seven option periods and each option period has a term of performance of one year (12 months). If the Government requires a shorter term or exercises an option for a period shorter than 12 months, the proposed monthly ELIN prices will be used as the basis for establishing the reduced term. The Government may extend the term of the contract in accordance with FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract incorporated into the resulting contract."

Section M.4.3.a.2.c (page 59) states that, "The Government will evaluate the proposal for any inconsistent pricing submitted within Section B and the Section J attachment, and correct any discrepancies in accordance with Section M.3 of the solicitation, or through clarifications, discussions or other means consistent with applicable regulation."

J-0200000-23 ELINs includes the Base and 8 Options (7 options and the extension).

Section F.3, TRANSITION PERIOD, states:

"The Government intends to make contract award no later than 02 November 2026 to allow the successful offeror 60 days to mobilize and transition into place. Sixty days prior to completion of the contract term the current contractor will be expected to commence demobilization and support the transition of the follow-on contractor."

Section F.2, CONTRACT TERM, states:

"The estimated start date is 01 January 2027. ....."

Please provide direction on where pricing for the 60-day transition should be included in the proposal. J-0200000-23 ELINs has a Base Period which is 12 months and begins on January 1st so it would not include Transition.

Please confirm that transition pricing is NOT part of the TEP.

Section L.8 states pricing shall include applicable Phase-In and Phase-Out costs. As there are no separately priced phase-in or phase-out CLINs, it is at the discretion of the offeror how to allocate those costs across the CLINS/ELINS included in the solicitation.

66 12/3/2025 4 C-100000 1.7

During the site visit briefings and in Section C - 0100000 Paragraph 1.7, it is indicated that all facilities, systems and assets shall be accepted by the Contractor in "AS IS" condition. Site visits are, at best, a very limited snap shot of the existing assets.

Based upon that snapshot, there seems to be many old and obsolete assets that will require repair/replacement during the term of this contract. Does the Government expect a contractor to take on all of the risk in the bid for recurring services and limits of liability?

See Section C Annex 0100000 General information, Spec Item 1.7; All facilities, systems, and assets identified in this contract shall be accepted by the Contractor in "AS-IS" condition. The Contractor is fully responsible for all work up to and including the limits of liabilities specified.

67 12/3/2025 26 C-200000 2.8.6.1 Will the Government provide a list of buildings that require an escort? Will service call response times be adjusted when the Government does not provide an escort?

Please clarify what disaster preparation and recovery actions shall be performed at no additional cost and what more extensive efforts might be performed as non-recurring work? Please provide a historical list of personnel required to remain on board the base during disasters? Please provide a historical list of how many days per year essential personnel were required to remain on board the base.

See NASJAXINST 3440.8E for clarification of disaster preparation and recovery actions. Updated Section J Attachment 0200000-06 Directives, Instructions, and References via Amendment 0003.

Historically, the list of personnel required to remain on board the base during disasters is determined by the KTR & KO.

There is no historical data as to how many days per year essential personnel are required to remain on board the base, as disasters do not occur on an annual basis.

2.2.2 2.2 2.2.2

The Government wants the Contractor to use a systems approach in the management of the inventory under this contract. "Specific equipment adds or deletes upon initial contractor inventory assessment and Preventative Maintenance (PM) program development will not be grounds for Contract modification." The Government wants the Contractor to take on all of the risk associated with 1) unknown quantities/pieces of equipment included within the system, and 2) unknown assets that the Government either doesn't know exists or failed to annotate in J- 1502000-03. What constitutes a system? The definition provided is very broad, "any mechanically and/or electrically interlocked parts". That really gives the Government a broad brush to include assets into a "system" without modifying the Contract.

How are we to estimate labor and materials without knowing how many supporting pieces of equipment are within the system?

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is based on a Systems Approach. The Contractor is responsible for the Systems described in the PWS and all mechanically and electrically interlocked parts, equipment, and components forming the systems.

There is available cost or pricing information that permits realistic estimates of the probable costs of performance based upon information published in industry standard estimating sources. The Government will not dictate an offeror's estimating practices and expertise.

Please clarify the limit of liability. Is it direct labor plus materials up to $3500? In other words, if a work order requires $2,600 in direct labor and $1,200 in direct material cost, the Government would issue a task order for $300 in accordance with the Non-recurring Work portion of the contract?

Yes. Refer to Section C Annex 1502000 Spec Item 3.1, "The Contractor has full responsibility for any work up to the E/U/R limit of liability of $3,500 in direct labor and direct material cost per work order.

The Government will only pay for the portion of direct labor and/or direct material that exceeds the E/U/R work order limits of liability."
