B -- Cancellation of A-76 Commercial Activities Study, Budget and Financial Program Support

The solicitation N61331-03-R-0035, related to the A-76 Study for Budget and Financial Program Support at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, has been officially cancelled. Originally, 14 potential offerors requested and received the solicitation, but only three proposals were submitted. After evaluating the proposals based on cost realism and best value criteria outlined in the solicitation, the lowest adjusted offer was $2,686,465, which did not meet the required threshold of being at least 10% lower than the government’s in-house performance estimate of $2,845,743. As a result, the decision was made to perform the work internally rather than awarding a contract to an external vendor. For further inquiries regarding this cancellation or the study, the Contract Specialist Mr. Mark P. Ross can be contacted at the Naval Surface Warfare Center through the provided phone number or email. This cancellation reflects the Navy’s adherence to cost-effectiveness standards and the A-76 Study evaluation regulations, ensuring that in-house performance is selected when it is more advantageous than outsourced proposals. The contract was posted as a pre-solicitation under NAICS code 921130, and all relevant questions should be directed to the designated contracting officers.
