The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the operational requirements for the contractor managing the Norfolk Super Servmart at Naval Station Norfolk. It emphasizes that the contractor is responsible for supplying and distributing a wide range of items—including office supplies, industrial hardware, safety equipment, and tactical gear—while the government will provide the facilities and utilities at no cost. Notably, the Navy retains the right to procure items from other sources, meaning the contractor is not guaranteed sales volume. The contractor must ensure a 97% availability rate for cataloged items within the walk-in store and is required to maintain compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly regarding AbilityOne items. Operational hours are set from 0700 to 1600, Monday through Friday, with additional requirements for emergency operations. The contractor must also produce regular reports on sales, inventory levels, and small business engagement, demonstrating commitment to federal policies supporting small businesses. Overall, this contract serves to enhance supply distribution efficiency within Navy operations while ensuring compliance with pertinent federal laws and regulations pertaining to procurement practices.

The document is a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought Notice from the U.S. Navy, seeking insights for providing retail and logistics services to naval activities in the Virginia Hampton Roads area. This effort targets a commercial retail store operator to supply a variety of quality items at competitive prices, emphasizing customer delivery or pickup.

The deadline for submissions is December 2, 2024, and the document emphasizes that it is not a solicitation or commitment from the Government, with no associated costs payable for submission efforts.
