NAVSUP FLC Norfolk notice of a Pre-Solicitation Conference (Industry Day) for HAZMAT 3PL Support Services

The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk will hold a Pre-Solicitation Conference (Industry Day) to solicit ideas and information on the most cost effective method to contract for HAZMAT 3PL services capable of meeting the Government’s demand and delivery requirements. The purpose of the Industry Day is to gather market research for FLC Norfolk to make decisions regarding the acquisition strategy for Mid-Atlantic HAZMAT 3PL services. Background Information: Currently, FLC Norfolk does not have a separate pool of money to fund any labor costs associated with services provided. Therefore, all costs need to be recovered through the sale of HAZMAT material under the resultant contract. FLC Norfolk is holding an industry day to solicit information and share ideas on how to reduce risk and procure HAZMAT material through a 3PL provider in a matter that is beneficial to both the Navy and industry. It is not the intent of FLC Norfolk to limit the discussion to acquisition strategies without separate funding for labor; however, the Government does not anticipate separate funding will be provided. For additional information on the requirement, a copy of the draft Performance Work Statement is included as Attachment I. Registration Details: The one-day conference will be held in the Jack Room on 27 March 2013, at FLC Norfolk, Building W-143, 1968 Gilbert Street, Norfolk, Virginia 23511 from 9:00 AM to approximately 1:00 PM ET. All registrations to attend the conference must be sent to [email protected] by NLT 18 March 2013. Registration emails should include the name of each attendee. Each company is limited to three (3) attendees. Any attendees requiring a day pass to access Naval Station Norfolk must complete Attachment II and return it to [email protected] NLT 3 PM ET on 18 March 2013. Attendees will have access to the conference room by 8:30 AM ET to allow time for arrival and registration. Disclaimer: This announcement is not a contract, request for proposal, a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government. The Navy will not assume liability for costs incurred by an attendee or for travel expenses or marketing efforts; therefore, attendee cost in response to this notice is not considered an allowable direct charge to the Government.
