The solicitation is for Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) for the MSC fleet of ships.

It is expected that a solicitation will be made available through www.fbo.gov on or about July 12, 2019 with a possible closing date of August 12, 2019.

5/30/2019 The government requests that industry provide feedback on the following both options for pricing structure:

Option1:
CLIN 0001 Third Fleet Division
SUBCLIN 0001AA Section 1 (This section will be a pre-determined area within the thrid fleet)
SUBCLIN 0001AB Section 2... etc.

Each CLIN will have a separate fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR) to match the US Navy's. Within each CLIN we can have subdivisions, as shown above.

The idea behind this option is to be able to price the charts required upfront but at the same time allow for purchase of only the charts needed and also have flexibility with emergent moves.

Option2:
CLIN 0001 South American Ports
SUBCLIN 0001AA (Usual ports visited)
CLIN 0002 African Ports
SUBCLIN 0002AA (Usual ports visited)
Vendors will provide pricing based on most traveled ports (based on historical data).

The idea behind this option is to only buy the areas needed within the usual ports visited by MSC. 

Please provide feedback on which option is practical prior to the closing date.

This is a DRAFT RFQ in order to obtain feedback from industry on the government's intent to acquire Electronic NAvigational Charts (ENCs). Submit any questions or feedbeack prior to closing of this notice.

Send any questions or comments to manuel.e.miranda@navy.mil.
