CNRSE Port Operations Support Services

This solicitation, N6883626R0002, is a combined synopsis and request for proposal issued under FAR Part 12 for commercial services to provide comprehensive Port Operations Support Services at five U.S. Navy installations across the Southeast Region: Naval Air Station Pensacola, Naval Support Activity Panama City, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Naval Station Mayport, and Naval Air Station Key West. The scope encompasses the operation and maintenance of watercraft and waterfront equipment, harbor security, facility repairs, and administrative support, with all work governed by the Performance Work Statement and aligned to industry standards such as ABYC, NSTM, OSHA, and EPA regulations. The acquisition is fully set aside for small businesses and is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with not-to-exceed ceilings totaling between $3.9 million and $4.65 million across base and optional periods spanning from February 2027 through January 2032, including six-month extension options. Performance is primarily managed from Jacksonville, FL, but services are executed at all five waterfront locations, with mandatory 24/7 waterborne patrols, emergent repair capabilities, and oil spill response readiness required. Proposals must be submitted in four PDF volumes—Price, Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Contractor Responsibility—by August 21, 2026, via email only to designated Navy points of contact. Technical capability is the most critical evaluation factor, requiring all three subfactors—Staffing Maintenance Plan, Staffing Operations Plan, and Personnel Qualifications—to be rated acceptable, as failure in any one results in automatic disqualification; past performance and price follow in importance, with award to be made through a best-value trade-off analysis, not on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis. Offerors must comply with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including restrictions on subcontracting (no more than 50% of total contract value to non-small business subcontractors), personal identity verification for personnel, reporting of executive compensation, proper government property management, hazardous materials handling, and compliance with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130 for labeling and unique item identification. Participation requires current SAM registration with a valid Unique Entity Identifier, full socioeconomic representations, and adherence to wage determinations specific to each geographic site. Invoicing must be completed exclusively through WAWF, and all documentation—ranging from maintenance logs to accident reports—must be submitted electronically to a commercial maintenance program as specified
