The procurement is a competitive 8(a) set-aside under GSA OASIS, fixed-price task order.

Place of performance is Norfolk, Virginia (Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek). The base period runs 8 months (September 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027) with four optional 12-month periods and a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, totaling up to 64 months. The incumbent contractor is Mainstream IP Solutions.

Offerors must possess a current Secret facilities security clearance verified by DCSA no earlier than 30 days before closing. All contractor personnel require Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIS) enrollment with T1 background investigations and favorable trustworthiness determinations.

The government estimates preventative maintenance inspections at 93 riser locations every four months and projects corrective maintenance not to exceed 40 hours annually.

Non-price factors are significantly more important than price; technical approach is more important than past performance. Proposals must be submitted electronically in four volumes: Volume I (no page limit), Volume II-Technical (20 pages combined for Performance and Staffing/Management subfactors), Volume III-Past Performance (12 pages), Volume IV-Price (no page limit).
