The Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) issues a Total Small Business Set-Aside solicitation to procure the production and delivery of Shipboard Lithium Battery Storage Lockers in support of the USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7) FY-23 Selected Restricted Availability (SRA). This will be a single award, firm-fixed price contract as a Total Small Business Set-aside. Award will be based on a best-value procurement utilizing past performance, technical acceptability, and price as evaluation factors. FAR 52.216-27 Single or Multiple Awards (OCT 1995) applies. The offeror(s) is responsible for the use of the latest revision of all references, specifications, and NAVSEA Standard Items. The applicable NAICS Code is 335910, Business size: 1,250 employees. This solicitation documents and incorporates provisions and clauses that are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-08 (Effective 23 September 2022) and DFARS Publication Notice 20220929. A three-Fold Amendment - 0001 has been issued to provide the following: Update the Contract Specialist point of contact. Answer a pre-proposal question: Question: Can you advise us manufacturer name? Answer: There is no Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the required Lithium Battery Lockers. The vendor who receives the award for RFP#N55236-22-R-0021 will be required to manufacture the required Lithium Battery Lockers as identified within the Product Description and in accordance with the following Drawing numbers: 803-8603356_B, 803-8603354_C, and 803-8603355_C. Remove OEM verbiage from Offeror Instructions/Proposal Preparation Instructions. A three-Fold Amendment - 0002 has been issued to provide the following: Answer a pre-proposal question(s): Question No. 1: Section C2 of the Solicitation (Page 6 of 61) specifies the drawing number and revision for each locker. Section M2.0(b) restricts the permissible conditions that may be requested in an Offeror’s bid. Based on our past performance experience, there are known issues with some of the BOM/subcomponents of the drawings specified. We understand these issues are pending incorporation into the next drawing revision. For one example, part 104 on drawing 803-8603354C is specified as a self-locking nut; however, the self-locking nut height is such that it does not get full engagement with the bolt. Per discussion with Navy inspectors, this self-locking nut was changed to a regular nut. In addition, several MIL-SPEC components are long lead items and these several, long lead components could be replaced with commercially available and equivalent components in order to accelerate delivery. For multiple previous locker builds for NSWCPD, the NSWCPD TPOC has approved the requested variances to correct known drawing issues and accelerate delivery. We request clarification if use of the request for variance process will be acceptable to SWRMC? Note: The requested list of variances will be identified in the proposal. Answer: Yes, use of the request for variance process will be acceptable to SWRMC. Question No. 2: Section C4 of the Solicitation (Page 6) specifies a Required Delivery Date of 18 April 2023. Section M2.0(b) restricts the permissible conditions that may be requested in an Offeror’s bid. We request to clarify if bids that offer a later delivery date will be accepted? Answer: Desired Required Delivery Date (RDD) is 07 July 2023. Revise the Required Delivery Date from 18 April 2023 to 07 July 2023. Attached are the following documents: Solicitation: SF 33 Attachement 1: Request for Clarification (RFC) Form Attachment 2: Past Performance Questionnaire Attachment 3: Drawing numbers : 803-8603356_B , 803-8603354_C, and 803-8603355_C Attachment 4: SF30 - Amendment0001 must be signed by the quoter to acknowledge receipt and acceptance Attachment 5: SF30 - Amendment0002 must be signed by the quoter to acknowledge receipt and acceptance Drawings are hereby incorporated and are a part of this solicitation. Drawings will only be provided to companies with the capabilities to build the required Lithium Battery Lockers as identified within the Product Description. Please request the drawings from Contract Specialist, Jamie Devera: jamie.m.devera.civ@us.navy.mil and Contracting Officer, Cynthia Urias:cynthia.y.urias.civ@us.navy.mil.
