What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE ARMY
Location: ALEXANDRIA, VA
NAICS: 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
Scope: Federal

This requirement is in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources.

The anticipated contract will be awarded using RFO Part 12 "Acquisition of Commercial Services".

The Government contemplates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract.

The primary emphasis of work efforts under this contract will be the compilation of vessel operating costs according to cargo vessel type and size or capacity classes typically of concern to USACE analysts when undertaking waterborne navigation project evaluations.

Integral to the needs for estimation of vessel operating costs will be the creation of a computerized application to support use, comparative audit and limited adjustment of estimates and estimation of bunkerage costs.

It will be an integral requirement that bunkerage costs be separably investigated and estimated as a critical input to operational costs of ocean-going commercial cargo vessels.

See the RFP and the PWS for additional information.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
