About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command has issued a Special Notice regarding the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) P171 Weapons Magazines project at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Virginia. This notice announces the Navy's intent to use brand name or equal descriptions in the upcoming firm fixed price (FFP) construction solicitation, in accordance with Section 888(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 and Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 206.302-1(c)(2). The notice was posted on March 31, 2026, and serves to inform potential contractors of the specifications and approved manufacturers that will be used as the basis of design. This is explicitly not a request for proposal but rather a formal notification of the contracting approach the Navy intends to use for this project.
The Navy is preparing justification and approval documentation to specify approximately ten brand name or equal items across all design disciplines for the weapons magazines construction project. Interested parties have until April 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time to submit questions, comments, or additional information to contract specialist Kristy Gerrek at kristy.l.gerrek.civ@us.navy.mil. While the specified manufacturers and models establish the baseline for quality, characteristics, and performance requirements, contractors are permitted to propose alternative manufacturers during the bidding process provided their products meet or exceed the Navy's established standards. The detailed specification schedule for interior finishes, including items such as acoustical ceiling tiles, paint, wall tile, flooring, grout, and lockers from various manufacturers, is contained in the attached documentation. There are no specific eligibility restrictions noted, and the special notice serves to provide transparency regarding the brand name or equal approach that will be utilized in the forthcoming formal solicitation.
