Military Sealift Command (MSC), Norfolk, has a requirement for a Contractor to provide material management logistics inventory management services, for ashore facilities in support of MSC as well as external MSC supported agencies and customers. The contractor shall provide planned, continuous, temporary and emergent work to support execution of assigned missions, functions and tasks, and be prepared to provide required Logistics services in all areas of the world where the Government has requirements to perform these services.

The Government is still determining the acquisition strategy and if this acquisition will be a small business set-aside, then FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies. Note that if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small businesses, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR clause 52.219-14. If the Government determines that a small business set-aside is appropriate and your company anticipates submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for a small business set-aside, please provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 will be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, and if subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of the effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large business subcontractors will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. The anticipated period of performance is one-year base period plus four (4) one-year option periods commencing on or around 15 August 2022. The NAICS Code is 541614: Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services. Again, THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE OR PROPOSAL. This is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of an award. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice. Respondents will not be notified of the results and the U.S. Government is not required to answer any questions submitted in regards to this notice. Please note the information within this notice will be updated and/or may change prior to an official synopsis/solicitation, if any. CAPABILITY PACKAGE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: It is requested that interested businesses submit a capabilities package demonstrating ability to provide the requested services.
