SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE - MSC Engineering Drawings.pdf

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This is not a solicitation or request for quotes and no contract or purchase order will be awarded from this notice. There is no solicitation, specifications or drawings available at this time.

Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking information on potential sources concerning the ability to provide professional engineering services for analysis/calculations, ship checks, engineering system design, and professional AutoCAD drafting in order to develop and revise engineering drawings. The Contractor shall accurately prepare AutoCAD drawings for designated systems in accordance with the standard drawings provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI) and listed in Section 3.2 of this PWS. The Contractor may be required to perform surveys, ship checks, and analyze as built drawings, red line mark ups, work packages and other correspondence in order to develop or revise drawings for various engineering disciplines, including, but not limited to, marine engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and naval architecture. MSC manuals predominantly composed of drawings such as Engineering Operating Manuals and Damage Control Books shall be updated under this contract. The Government will not provide neither the tablets and associated software nor AutoCAD software for performance under task orders issued against the contract.

All Small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Certified HUBZone, Woman Owned and Certified 8(a) Small Businesses are encouraged to respond. The Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government's best interest. The appropriate NAICS Code is 541330. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE OR PROPOSAL. This is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential small business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of an award. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis.

The interested firms shall submit to the MSC Contracting Office a brief capabilities package demonstrating the ability to provide some or all of the requested items or alternative solutions.

This document shall address, as a minimum the following: (1) Company Profile to include number of employees, office location(s), DUNS number, CAGE code and a statement regarding small business designation and status; (2) The facility where the work will be performed; (3) Partnership agreements with any large businesses. Proprietary information, if any, should be minimized and MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED. To aid the Government, please segregate proprietary information. Please be advised that all submissions will not be returned. Include the following information in your capability statement submission:

- Respondents may provide comments for this acquisition strategy including, but not limited to, other possible solutions to maintaining the equipment, and feedback on the draft PWS or contract type.

- Respondents shall provide a capability statement that includes an overview of how their Company intends to perform the requirements of the PWS.

- Respondents should note that this contract is generally performed on a worldwide scale (for the shipcheck), but if a company cannot perform services worldwide then it should indicate which locations it can perform the required services. (CONUS/OCONUS)

- Respondent should provide information on their contract-holder status on Government contract vehicles that may provide support for the required services. (ie. GSA, SeaPort, etc.).

- Respondents shall provide past experience of government contracts updating Selected Record Drawings (SRD’s) or other commercial Record Drawings. Providing 1-3 contracts will suffice as evidence of past experience.

- An estimated Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) per ship.

- Submissions are to be no more than 10 pages and no less than 12-point font.

RESPONSES ARE DUE by 12 October 2026 by 2:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.

Responses shall be sent via email. Email submissions of the capabilities packages shall be sent to Andrew MacDonald at andrew.p.macdonald2.civ@us.navy.mil. Hard copy mail and Fax submissions of the capabilities packages WILL NOT be accepted.

The Government will evaluate capability statements solely for the purpose of determining the appropriate procurement strategy, including whether to conduct a competitive small business set-aside (such as a HUBZone set-aside) or to proceed with a sole-source procurement. Respondents must provide sufficient detail to demonstrate their technical capability to perform the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Failure to provide a satisfactory capability statement may result in the Government determining that there is insufficient competition to warrant a set-aside, and the Government may proceed with an alternative acquisition strategy.

The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice. In accordance with FAR part 12, responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government does not intend to host an information exchange meeting to discuss this sources sought with interested potential respondents. Questions or comments regarding this notice may be addressed to Andrew MacDonald at the above addresses via email. Again, this is not a request for a proposal. Respondents will not be notified of the results and the Government is not required to answer any questions submitted in regards to this Sources Sought Notice. Please note the information within this Sources Sought Notice may be updated and/or may change prior to an official synopsis/solicitation, if any.
