The anticipated RFP will solicit proposals to provide non-complex GSR on all MSC and other Government ship classes primarily on the island of Guam. The Government anticipates making multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity awards under which firm fixed price delivery orders will be competed using the Fair Opportunity procedures outlined in FAR Subpart 16.5. The five-year ordering period is estimated to begin in May 2022. Each contract will have a guaranteed minimum of $3,500.00 and each contract will have a ceiling of $15,000,000.00. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 336611. The Government anticipates that award will be made to all qualifying offerors. A qualifying offeror is an offeror that is deemed responsible under FAR 9.104, submits a proposal that conforms to the solicitation requirements, obtains a technical proposal rating of acceptable, obtains a past performance rating of acceptable, and the Contracting Officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing for delivery orders.
