Sources Sought - NNSY Calibration & Repair IDIQ

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought (SS) for information and planning purposes.  The Service Contract Division, C410,  Norfolk, Norfolk Naval Shipyard  (NNSY), Portsmouth, VA, 23709-5000 intends to issue a sole source Firm Fixed-Price, Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract to Keysight Technologies Inc and will utilize procedures under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisitions to issue a contract to provide contractor services for thirty-four (34) pieces of government owned equipment as defined by the attached Statement of Work (SOW).

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

This contract will consist of one (1) base year and one (1) option year. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals.  This notice is for informational and planning purposes only, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government, nor will the U.S. Government pay for information solicited.  The Government will not return any information submitted, nor will the Government compensate any company who responds to this notice.

The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 811210, which has a corresponding size standard of $34 million.  The Government anticipates issuing a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract for the required services. This contract will consist of one (1) base year and one (1) option year.   This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources outside of the suggested sole source, Keysight Technologies Inc for information purposes only.

The Government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Responsible sources may identify their interests and capability by responding to this requirement in accordance with the posted opening and closing dates.  Please provide a capabilities statement and a description of any similar previous work.
