Description: The Pacific Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Acquisition Department, intends to issue a solicitation for an OMB Circular A-76 Cost Comparison Study for work currently being provided by the Navy Public Works Center, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

This acquisition will comply with the procedures prescribed in Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76, the Commercial Activities program. This A-76 cost comparison study will examine the possibility of converting Government in-house operations to contractor operations. This solicitation may result in the award of a combination Firm Fixed-Price and Indefinite Quantity type contract. This solicitation will be issued on an unrestricted basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 562211 (previously SIC Code 4953). The applicable size standard is $10.5 million. The period of performance includes a 12-month base period with 4 options to extend the term for a total period not to exceed 60 months.

The Government may make an award based on initial proposals without conducting discussions if the Contracting Officer determines discussions are not necessary. If the best value contractor is the successful service provider as a result of the cost comparison, the estimated date of contract award is January 2005 with full performance starting May 2005.

Following the selection of a best value contractor, a cost comparison to determine the feasibility and economy of converting the work currently performed by Government personnel to contract performance will be conducted. A contract will not be awarded unless the costs of contracting are lower than the costs of continued Government performance by a minimum cost differential of the lesser of 10% of in-house personnel-related costs or $10 million over the performance period. Government personnel adversely affected by conversion of Government-performed services to contract have the Right of First Refusal for jobs for which they are qualified.

The services required are: (1) Maintenance of Government facilities used for environmental services; (2) Services for waste paper recycling program; (3) Bilge water/oily wastewater and used oil collection, storage, treatment and disposal; (4) Industrial waste collection, storage, treatment and disposal; (5) Bio-solid and oily waste bioremediation; (6) Solid waste collection, storage, minimization and disposal; and (7) environmental laboratory services.
