The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime seeks approval for a sole-source acquisition of a Specialized Cofferdam Protective Enclosure for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, valued at approximately $4.5 million. Due to the unique nature of the enclosure, which protects equipment from environmental impacts, competitive bidding is being bypassed under statutory authority permitting such actions. A market survey identified four small businesses, but only one, Reynolds Welding & Fabrication LLC, is a certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) eligible for the direct procurement under the WOSB Program. The justification notes the enclosure, while commercially available, requires specific engineering drawings accessible only to approved vendors. The procurement process will follow simplified acquisition procedures to maintain efficiency. This action prioritizes meeting military needs while complying with federal regulations for small business participation, particularly within the WOSB framework. The necessary steps have been taken to ensure fair pricing and the solicitation excludes others that do not meet specified criteria.
This document is an amendment to a solicitation concerning the procurement of a cofferdam protective enclosure for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, aimed at supporting VIRGINIA Class overhauls. The amendment extends the closing date for submitting offers from September 6, 2024, at 3 PM EST to September 12, 2024, at the same time.
The solicitation is being managed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and involves a procurement strategy in alignment with the SBA Certified Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) program, specifically targeting Reynolds Welding & Fabrication LLC. Vendors are instructed to submit their quotations via email to the designated addresses while ensuring receipt confirmation.
Additionally, the document includes updates to the required supplies and details pertaining to the project, specifically emphasizing adherence to the Statement of Work and applicable distribution requirements (DD2345).
