Information Technology Support Services; NSWCCD

The Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) is preparing to issue a task order under the SeaPort Enhanced multiple award contract for Information Technology Support Services (ITSS) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). This special notice serves to inform industry and encourage participation, particularly from small businesses, as the forthcoming request for proposals (RFP N00024-16-R-3125) will be a 100% small business set-aside. The government has posted revised draft documents—including the Performance Work Statement, solicitation sections, Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, and labor category information—to facilitate feedback and industry dialogue. Although comments and questions are invited to help refine the solicitation, the government does not intend to respond to submissions or inquiries regarding the status of the RFP. The contract opportunity is classified under NAICS code 541330 and will be performed primarily in West Bethesda, Maryland. Interested small business offerors are encouraged to submit their feedback via email to designated points of contact, Traci Pichler and Carlos Bernal, with phone communications explicitly discouraged. The acquisition is part of an ongoing effort dating back to an earlier sources sought notice posted in October 2015, aiming to ensure the solicitation fully meets Navy requirements while fostering engagement with the small business community. The anticipated release date for the RFP is mid-April 2016.
