MSC worldwide paint program

THIS IS A SYNOPSIS NOTICE ONLY for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format and procedures in FAR Part 15 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This is not a Request for Quote/Proposal/Bid and no contract or purchase order will be awarded as a result of this notice.

The Department of Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No. N32205-19-R-0054 for the world-wide provision of paint, coatings, solvents, preservation products, and technical services for the Military Sealift Command (MSC) Fleet-wide Paint Program. The Government is contracting not only for specific products and services, but also for the availability and delivery of these products and services on a world-wide basis within specific time constraints defined for each main port or geographic zone. An integral part of supplying products and services under this Contract is the technical support the Contractor provides to ensure all ships and equipment are preserved and maintained properly. The Contractor shall provide products and services, on a world-wide basis, for MSC ships and any other Government owned or Government chartered ships designated by MSC.

The anticipated action will be a single award indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a firm, fixed-price pricing arrangement. The ordering period will be for five (5) years. As a result of market research, there is not a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two (2) or more small business concerns; therefore, this requirement will be solicited as Full and Open Competition. All responsible small businesses and large businesses may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation which shall be considered by the agency.

The solicitation will only be available electronically. Electronic copies of the RFP may be obtained from the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website under Solicitation Number N32205-19-R-0054. Hard copy versions of the RFP and any subsequent amendments will not be available. Firms are encouraged to review the website regularly for important solicitation information. Disclaimer: This pre-solicitation notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis. If a competitive solicitation is issued in the future, it will be announced via FBO, and interested parties must comply with that announcement. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice. This is not a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation, and this information is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract.

The appropriate NAICS code is 325510. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. There are no responses due based on this pre-solicitation notice. Questions comments regarding this notice may be addressed to Derek Willis at derek.l.willis@navy.mil.
