FAIR OPPORTUNITY EVALUATION FOR AWARD The Navy will provide interested sources with a fair opportunity IAW FAR 16.507-4 using the procedures and evaluation factors described in this provision. It is emphasized that this is a FAR 16.507 fair opportunity process intended to streamline the source selection and be minimally burdensome for both the Navy and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) awardees interested in competing for this requirement. The policies and procedures of FAR Part 15 do not apply to the source selection. While not an all-inclusive list, some examples of FAR Part 15 requirements that do not apply are the late is late rule, competitive range determinations, and the rules for negotiations, formal evaluation plans, and formal evaluation documentation. The Contracting Officer will make the source selection using the following two-step process. STEP ONE: No later than 5:00 PM EST, 28 August 2026, interested sources must submit, on no more than two (2) (single sided) pages, a description of their experience on prior contracts they consider most similar to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Interested sources should use their judgement on how to best demonstrate through their two-page submission that they are a viable competitor. For example, a source with relatively limited experience related to the PWS could address how it has the commitment of key personnel or other contractors with more relevant experience. Step One submissions must also attest that the interested vendor is a Small Business SeaPort NxG Prime Contract Holder, and the SeaPort contract number must be provided within the submission. Submissions that do not provide such attestation may be determined ineligible to participate in Step Two. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each submission and determine which sources are viable competitors for award. The Contracting Officer may communicate with competitors, without regard to the rules of FAR Part 15 concerning competitive range determinations and negotiations, if such communications will enhance the Contracting Officer’s determination of whether the interested sources is a viable competitor for award. A determination that an interested source is nonviable does not necessarily mean the Contracting Officer believes the interested source cannot successfully perform the requirement. An interested source could be determined nonviable because of their experience relative to other competitors. The Contracting Officer will notify those sources determined nonviable that they are eliminated from further consideration, and invite sources determined viable to submit a quote in response to Step-Two. Step One submissions shall be emailed to kristen.m.dunlow.civ@us.navy.mil (CC: martyn.t.piggott.civ@us. navy.mil) in .PDF format. The deadline for Step One submissions is 28 August 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. STEP TWO: Upon the completion of Step One, the Contracting Officer will request the information detailed in Sections L and M of the Request for Quotations from the viable competitors. Refer to Section L for entirety of instructions and Section M for evaluation criteria. In addition to the information submitted by competitors, the Contracting Officer may consider other information reasonably related to the evaluation factors, to include the personal knowledge of the competitor’s commercial and Government customers, and past performance databases. The Contracting Officer is not obligated to evaluate all information submitted from each competitor. For example, the Contracting Officer may curtail evaluation of a competitor’s submission if at any point the Contracting Officer determines the competitor’s quote is unlikely to represent the best value. The Contracting Officer may communicate with a competitor at any time during Steps One and Two without regard to the FAR Part 15 rules concerning competitive range determinations and discussions. The Contracting Officer may also identify the competitor whose quote is likely to represent the best value and hold interchanges solely with that firm to finalize the order and/or obtain more favorable terms for the Government. Any quotations received from firms that were determined not viable during Step One and not invited to submit a quotation based on the review conducted during Step One will not be evaluated and will be immediately disqualified from consideration in this requirement.
