The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) is soliciting proposals to fabricate second generation (Gen II) Internal Locking Devices (ILD). The GEN II ILD is a new design and has not previously been placed into production. There is no predecessor contract or incumbent. NAVFAC EXWC intends to award an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ), multiple award contract (MAC) with a total capacity of $6,500,000 and a 60 month ordering period. Delivery orders will be issued as firm-fixed price and competed among the MAC holders. Two or more awardees are anticipated. All work must be completed by US citizens and US owned companies. All contract work will be unclassified For Official Use Only (FOUO).
In all cases, work must be performed in accordance with federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and instructions.

The market research results demonstrated that there were eight small business firms that are capable of meeting the requirements of this acquisition.
The purpose of the contract is to obtain the following supplies or deliverables:
1. First Article Testing of GEN II ILD assembly units
2. Quality Control Plan for production of GEN II ILD assembly units
3. Production runs of GEN II ILD assembly units
Delivery orders will include the following requirements:
1. Performance Work Statement (PWS) that includes minimum production quantities, mandatory specifications, reporting requirements, and delivery instructions
2. Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) that includes performance requirements, standards, acceptable quality level, assessment methodology, and incentive/remedies
Each MAC contractor will be awarded an initial delivery order at the time of award of the basic contract for first article testing, in accordance with in FAR Subpart 9.3.
First article testing ensures that a contractor furnishes a product that conforms to all contract requirements. Subsequent delivery orders under this contract will include the production of GEN II ILD assembly units in typical lot sizes of twenty-five (25).

Delivery orders will be firm fixed-priced, normally in the range of $10,000 to $100,000 per delivery order; however, larger or smaller dollar delivery order projects may be required. The minimum delivery order amount is $10,000 (excluding the first delivery order for first article testing.)
The Government intends to evaluate and select best value offers using the tradeoff source selection process.
This process allows for a tradeoff between non-cost/price factors and price, and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award.
The Government-furnished design drawings and specifications for GEN II ILD assembly units are unclassified For Official Use Only (FOUO). Based on this classification, this technical data will be NOT be furnished as part of the solicitation, but will be available to offerors upon request in Adobe .pdf format and will be sent electronically via AMRDEC SAFE (Army’s Safe Access File Exchange).
