Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This is a market research notice for preventative maintenance and emergency repairs on seven Facility Response Team vessels and their trailers for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The anticipated contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement with a one-year base period and one one-year option. All primary work is to be performed at the contractor's own facility, though capability for water-based pickup and delivery is required. The work requires certified technicians for specific Honda and Yamaha outboard engines and Westerbeke generators, and personnel accessing the shipyard must be U.S. citizens. The government is seeking capability statements from qualified businesses to help determine its acquisition strategy.
