The Government has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of services under the identified Tasking Areas. If other potential sources emerge, the Government will assess whether the addition of those source for future requirements is feasible by using the "Ramp-on" process. As on ramps are implemented, new sources may be awarded new contracts in one or more task areas. The Government will determine if it is in Government's best interest to "ramp-on" and reopen the original IDIQ to conduct an evaluation process that may result in the addition of new contractors. The Government reserves the right to reopen IDIQ for awardees in any of the task areas at any time during the term of this acquisition. In the event an on-ramp procedure is used, the Government will advertise the reopening of the IDIQ on www.fbo.gov, and awardees shall meet the CAD/PAD technical criteria established in the advertise. The Government will conduct a technical evaluation that may result in the additional of new contractors. The anticipated number of awards for any task area will be announced in the reopening announcement posted on and www.fbo.gov. Any new awardees will be added to the pool with the remaining contractors in their applicable task areas for task order(s). The period of performance for new awardees will not extend beyond the terms specified from the initial IDIQ contract(s) that were awarded based on the initial solicitation.

The NAICS Code is 541330 with a size standard of $38,500.000. The FSC Code is R425.

Paper copies of the solicitation, amendments, drawings and maps will be provided to only the identified vendors above. Once the RFP has been sent, all technical/contractual questions must be submitted in writing to: amy.anokye@navy.mil. In the email, please clearly indicate your company name, section and paragraph number of the RFP or specification as applicable.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Previously, offerors were required to register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database and have an active registration in CCR prior to completing their Reps and Certs (Section K of the RFP) in the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) prior to award of a contract. Offerors are now required to complete their registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database via the website https://www.sam.gov. If an offeror previously had an active CCR/ORCA account, the offerors' information has automatically been incorporated into the SAM database. Offerors are strongly encouraged to review their information in SAM to be current and up to date.

Failure to register in SAM makes an offeror ineligible for award of Department of Defense contracts.
