San Diego, California, March 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The US Navy issued a solicitation for small businesses who can provide labor, services, equipment and materials for the removal, overhaul and installation of a HVAC recirculating fan aboard the USS Boxer while the vessel is dry-docked in San Diego, California. They are only taking quotes from small businesses. The last day a small business can submit a quote is March 28, 2018. For assistance meeting this deadline with proper registrations and a strong offer, small businesses may use third-party government registration firm, US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR).
The requirements to fulfill the Navy's needs are found on the federal business opportunity solicitation which can be located on the Advanced Procurement Portal from USFCR. Businesses will see on the solicitation that the contractor is responsible for a rewind, repair and shop test of the removed HVAC Recirculating Fan Motor before reinstalling the unit. The contractor will be required to have a Southwest Regional Maintenance Center approved Quality System in place at the time of the contract award. The work must be completed no later than March 30, 2018.
This brief summary of requirements must be supplemented with a full-read of the actual solicitation where further specifications are located. Once a quote has been put together it should be sent to contracting specialists Sharon M. Young and Allison E. Alexander (allison.e.alexander@navy.mill, sharon.m.young@navy.mi). This very small window of opportunity gives businesses very little time to put together a quote and make sure registration is complete in the mandatory System for Award Management (SAM). It is important to have this registration set-up if interested in making offers to the government for work such as this.
SAM is the mandatory registration that all federal contractors must complete before making offers to perform any work for the government. This system can be tricky to handle, especially when trying to meet a deadline and put a quote together. For assistance with all of these matters, US Federal Contractor Registration is standing by to provide.
US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR) is the world’s largest third-party government registration firm. They have helped thousands of entities translate their capabilities into the U.S. Government’s language and systems with the Simplified Acquisition Program, bid training and proposal writing services. They not only register companies on their behalf in SAM, but also have pioneered the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP). APP shows active and historical federal business opportunity information in the same place, simplifying market research. Active federal buyers and vendors are not only cataloged in APP, but also are also using the system, creating a powerful network. Businesses who partner with USFCR will be able dedicate their complete effort toward their performance on a contract, rather than the acquisition of it.
