UPDATE AS OF 4 SEPT 2020: Interested parties are advised that updated draft documents have been posted on the Bidder's Library. In addition to a draft solicitation, a set of specific questions have been uploaded to the Bidder's Library to solicit feedback regarding the draft solicitation and acquisition. The Navy is also currently inviting industry to schedule individual 1-on-1 meetings with the Government to discuss the feedback requested. Companies who do not wish to request a 1-on-1 meeting are still encouraged to provide feedback on the posted questions and solicitation. Industry 1-on-1s are open to those companies which are interested in participating in the competitive acquisition either as the prime contractor, or as part of a teaming arrangement to a prime subcontractor (not a typical subcontract arrangement). Companies interested in requesting a 1-on-1 should also submit a capability statement AFTER reviewing the draft solicitation (if one has not been submitted already), briefly describing company experience and why the company believes that it can meet the Navy requirements as either a prime contractor or teaming as/with a prime contractor. The Government is seeking to schedule industry 1-on-1 meetings the week of Aug 17-Aug 21, 2020. It is preferred that written feedback responses are provided to the government 24 hours in advance of the date/time of the scheduled 1-on-1. For companies interested in providing written responses but not requesting a meeting, feedback should be provided no later than 4:00PM EST Aug 21, 2020. Companies are encouraged to answer all questions, but responses to all questions are not required. Any questions regarding the draft solicitation or planned acquisition may be submitted via the question form provided in the Bidder's Library; however, all questions will be anonymized and answered publicly via either a beta.sam post or posted to the Bidder's Library. All materials submitted in response to the Bidder's Library questions should be UNCLASSIFIED.
