J--Presolicitation Synopsis for Vessel Maintenance service requirement at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI.

The notice was posted to determine the availability and capability of businesses to perform the Vessel Maintenance requirement. The Vessel Maintenance Industry Day was conducted on Friday, November 13, 2015 on Ford Island, Hawaii. All interested firms were required to submit a Capabilities Statement in response to the sources sought by 23 November, regardless of Industry Day attendance. The Government determined that sufficient competition will likely be realized because there are enough interested small business concerns that can potentially provide quality service on a requirement of this size and scope. In consideration of the thorough market research conducted, NAVSUP FLCPH intends to solicit and award a commercial services contract for Vessel Maintenance support as a 100% total small business set-aside, utilizing firm-fixed price provisions and IAW FAR Part 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiations. The NAVSUP FLCPH Office of Small Business Programs concurs with this decision. The selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15.101-2; offers will be evaluated through the lowest price technically acceptable source selection process.
