This listing will be inactivated tomorrow. Thank you for everyone that attended the site visit and I apologize for the wasted effort. We just received notice of the requirement cancellation today. UPDATE 26 February 2025: Questions are now due 6 March 2025, end of day. Submit questions to Brandon.Jump@dla.mil. Bids are now due 19 March 2025, end of day. See Attachment 4 - Continuation Page_rev1. Bids shall be submitted to show BASE BID Pricing as well as BASE BID PLUS OPTION 1 pricing. The Government will select whether we will proceed with the BASE BID pricing or the BASE BID PLUS OPTION 1 pricing. There will be no ala carte selections between the two bids. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: Performance and Payment Bonds: Could you confirm the exact timeline for submitting these after the contract award? – 5 days from contract award. DBIDS Pre-enrollment: Are subcontractors required to complete individual DBIDS registrations, or can they be registered under the prime contractor? – no, every individual requires DBIDS enrollment. Bid Guarantee: Are there any alternative forms of bid guarantee acceptable beyond the 20% bid price cap?—no Work Hour Extensions: The solicitation notes 7 AM - 5 PM work hours—is there a process for requesting extended work hours if necessary? -- yes, but on a limited need basis as determined by the work and schedule Liquidated Damages: Are there any conditions or scenarios under which the $500 per day penalty may be waived? – no Emergency Utility Cutovers: The contract requires 14 days’ notice for utility interruptions—is there a process for expediting emergency cutovers? – no Submission via DOD SAFE: Is the proposal required to be submitted through DOD SAFE, or is this platform strictly for bid submission? -- DOD SAFE is for bid submission. Any docs that you would submit with your bid may go through there (ex/ bid price document as well as non-price proposal documents). That is the official place to submit your docs, because it timestamps the submissions with both the government’s notice and your notice. Submission Requirements: If the proposal must be uploaded to DOD SAFE, please confirm any specific instructions, required documents, or additional steps necessary to comply. -- I will annotate contractor attendance at the site visit, as well as make an update to SAM asking for industry participants to reach out to me with their email addresses so I can open the DOD SAFE link for them to submit bid docs. There are limits on how early I can do that with DOD SAFE, so the link will not be opened until after the site visit. Deadline Compliance: Is there a specific cut-off time for submission on March 19, 2025, or will proposals be accepted until 11:59 PM ET? -- The due date is 11:59pm Eastern. You have the full day to submit bids through DOD SAFE. If there are any changes to this plan, I will notify everyone publicly via SAM, and likely offer an extension for fairness. Confirmation of Receipt: Once submitted, will we receive an official acknowledgment, and who should we contact if we encounter any technical issues? -- Yes, DOD SAFE will sent confirmations to both you and I. This is the most transparent and mutually accountable process that I was able to find.

The solicitation number SP4703-25-B-0003 is to be issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The resulting contract will be a firm-fixed price award with an expected Period of Performance of one year from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. This acquisition is set-aside for 100% small businesses. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 236220 (Miscellaneous Building Renovation). The small business size standard is $45M. Department of Labor Wage Determination based on location of the service provided (Chesterfield County, VA). Partial proposals will not be accepted. For an offer to be considered for award, the contractor must have a physical office from which mobilization occurs within 120 miles to DSCR. The contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. If not already registered in SAM, go to the SAM website www.sam.gov to register prior to submitting your quote. Access to Defense Supply Center Richmond is dictated by the language at the following location: https://www.dla.mil/Aviation/Installation/Visitors-and-ID-Office/ A new system will be implemented on 3 January 2023 to screen visitors and contractors for installation access at DSCR. The new system is designed to increase efficiencies, enhance the protection of personal information during the vetting process and eliminate the use of hard copy DLA Form 1815s. The screening system will require visitors and contractors to pre-enroll in DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System). To begin the process, visitors and contractors will complete registration through the pre-enrollment website: https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil. Upon entry of their information, visiting personnel will be provided an electronic form to download, which will have an individualized barcode and alpha numeric code. The codes will be electronically sent to the visiting person’s sponsor. Once in receipt of the barcode, the sponsor will email Security and Emergency Services and provide the barcode and sponsorship information. Once the visitor/contractor is vetted and approved for installation access, Security & Emergency Services will notify the sponsor that the visitor/contractor can go to the DSCR Visitor Center to obtain his/her pass. At the Visitor Center, the visitor provides the barcode and code provided earlier in the process and completes the credentialing process. DBIDS enrollments shall be completed with five (5) days before the site visit.
