About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command seeks to procure technical services for an applied Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) program focused on Navy-driven research needs related to at-sea compliance and permitting under environmental regulations including NEPA, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and the Endangered Species Act. The contractor will be responsible for generating communication products and providing meeting planning, facilitation, and documentation services as specified within a Performance Work Statement. The Government intends to treat this as a commercial service contract under simplified acquisition procedures, utilizing commercial service provisions and clauses per FAR 12.301(b)(1-4). The contract will be evaluated for best value through competition among eligible vendors. No specific deadline for questions or proposal responses is provided in this pre-solicitation notice, as this announcement serves as a regulatory compliance notice; the formal solicitation document (SF 1449) will be posted subsequently and will carry the same solicitation number.
This procurement is set aside exclusively for women-owned small businesses, with competition among eligible vendors to ensure best value selection under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. No prior contract or incumbent contractor exists for this new procurement. The contract structure includes a base period of one year commencing in 2026 with a minimum guarantee, followed by four option years, and potential extension of up to six months if a follow-on contract is not awarded timely. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC code F999 (Other Environmental Services).
Notice text
The Contractor will be expected to provide technical services to an applied Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) program. The RDT&E program focuses on Navy driven research needs related to at-sea compliance and permitting to ensure the Navy’s ability to conduct uninterrupted at-sea training and testing. Relevant laws and regulations include the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Marine Mammal Protection Act, Endangered Species Act (ESA), and other federal, state, and local mandates. This will be a new procurement. It does not directly replace an existing contract. No prior contract information exists. Examples of historical documentation and events can be found at the provided website below.
A commercial service contract is intended, to be specified within a Performance Work Statement (PWS), for the key tasks of: (1) Generating Communication Products, and (2) Meeting Planning, Facilitation, and Documentation. For reference, a Commercial Service Determination (CID301201336822325000) has been associated and recorded for these requirements, and use of provisions and clauses at FAR 12.301(b)(1-4) is intended. A women-owned small business set-aside is intended, but competition between eligible vendors will be conducted to ensure best value selection, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (ref: FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services).
The contract term will be for a base period of one year, starting in 2026, plus four option years; only the base period of the contract will offer a minimum guarantee. Additionally, if the Government does not award a follow-on contract in time, the Government may require the Contractor to continue performance for an additional period up to six months under the Option to Extend Services clause.
This advertisement is a Presolicitation notice for regulatory compliance. Once the Solicitation document (SF 1449) is posted, it will share the same Solicitation Number N3943025Q1001, and will contain pre-award evaluation procedures, proposal requirements for responsiveness and responsibility determinations, and a full set of objectives and standards for future contract performance. All responsible sources may submit pricing quotes and technical capability statements for consideration.
