Description
Amendment 0001 - please read carefully! The purpose of this amendment is to formally update the solicitation and extend the proposal submission deadline as detailed below:
- Change Set-Aside Status: This requirement is hereby converted from a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside to Full and Open Compeition (Unrestricted). Offers from all responsible commercial sources (large and small) will be considered.
- Extended Closing Date: The proposal submission deadline is extended from 26 October 2026 to 07 December 2026 at 1:00pm CST.
- Restructured CLINs: The solicitation is updated from 7 CLINs to 10 CLINs to align one-to-one with the 10 Categories in the Purchase Description
- NAICS Code Registration Instruction: Added explicit guidance requiring offerors to hold the associated NAICS code in SAM.gov for any Category they wish to qualify for (see updated Section L, Paragraph 4).
- Subcontracting Clauses Added: Incorporated FAR 52.219-8 (Utilization of Small Business Concerns) and FAR 52.219-9 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan).
All updated attachments (Purchase Description, Attachment 0004) are uploaded below. Offerors must submit their revised proposals in accordance with these updated terms. Section a – solicitation executive summary 1.
THREE-STEP PROCUREMENT FRAMEWORK The Government will procure the Rapid Acquisition Sustainment Program (RASP) supply requirements utilizing a three-step process: Step One (Combined Synopsis/Solicitation): A separate Pre-solicitation Notice will not be issued; this synopsis is combined with the solicitation on SAM.gov in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6. Individual order-level Request for Quotes (RFQs) under this Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) will be competed exclusively within the qualified pool and will not be synopsized, ensuring rapid execution.
Clauses are in effect through FAC 2026-01. The primary NAICS code is 332710 (Machine Shops; Size Standard: 500 employees). Other codes are listed in Attachment 0001 - RASP BOA Purchase Description, and the Product Service Code is 5340 (Hardware, Commercial).
Step Two (Master BOA Execution): The BOA Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released once for qualifications. The Government will execute no-cost, multi-award BOAs to responsible offerors whose proposals are compliant with Section L and rated "Acceptable" under Section M. BOAs are valid for up to five (5) years. NOTE: This RFP is the only opportunity to obtain a RASP BOA.
Proposals will not be accepted or executed at any other time. If a contractor wishes to participate in any future RASP orders, they must respond to this initial RFP. Step Three (Order-Level Competition): As recurring supply needs arise, the PCO will issue competitive, order-level RFQs to the BOA pool.
To participate, contractors must hold an active master BOA as of the RFQ closing date. Orders will result in individual, competitive Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contracts (Orders) under FAR 16.703. 2. SCOPE Contractors will provide commercial products supporting Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA) operations across the categories defined in Section B. Items ordered may include detailed specifications from controlled technical data packages referencing military specifications (MIL-SPEC) or restricted technical drawings.
3. SUBCONTRACTING FLEXIBILITY Offerors must demonstrate technical capability within the scope of Attachment 0001- RASP BOA Purchase Description. Capability may be achieved with or without subcontractors.
In Step Three order-level proposals, contractors are not bound to the subcontractors proposed in Step Two but must propose resources necessary to perform each individual order. 4. BASIS FOR AGREEMENT EXECUTION The Government will execute no-cost, multi-award BOAs to responsible offerors with compliant proposals (Section L) rated "Acceptable" (Section M).
NOTE: The Government reserves the right to waive the Compliance Review if in its best interest. The Government intends to execute BOAs on initial proposals without discussions. It reserves the right to negotiate if in its best interest but will only do so with offerors whose proposals do not contain significant informational deficiencies.
LEGAL NOTICE: This master BOA process is not a competitive acquisition; the source selection procedures of FAR Part 15 do not apply. No pricing is requested or evaluated at this stage. Execution of a BOA does not constitute a contract or guarantee future orders.
SECTION B – CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS (CLINS) The following unfunded CLINs are established at the master agreement level for administrative categorization only: CLIN 0001: Machined and Fabricated Metal Parts (NAICS 332710 / 332999) CLIN 0002: Plastics and Injection Molded Components (NAICS 326199) CLIN 0003: Wooden Containers and Pallet Manufacturing (NAICS 321920) CLIN 0004: Ammunition and Nuclear Ordnance Boxes, Packages and Special Containers (NAICS 332439, 321920) CLIN 0005: Corrugated Fiberboard (Made and fabricated to specific dimensions) (NAICS 322211) CLIN 0006: Miscellaneous Fabricated Nonmetallic Materials (NAICS 326199) CLIN 0007: Chemicals (NAICS 325199, 325180) CLIN 0008: Paints and Coatings (NAICS 325510) CLIN 0009: Miscellaneous Hardware & Tools (NAICS 339991, 314994, 327910, 332510, 332613) CLIN 0010: Other Class IX Sustainment Products and Supplies (NAICS 423710) SECTION C – CAAA RASP EXECUTION BUSINESS RULES 1.
GENERAL RULES A BOA is not a contract (FAR 16.703(a)). An order becomes a binding contract upon Government acceptance and award. The ordering period shall not exceed five (5) years from initial execution (DFARS 216.703(c)).
Each BOA will be formally reviewed by the PCO annually (FAR 16.703(c)(2)) and revised as necessary. BOAs shall be changed only by modifying the agreement itself, not by individual orders. Modifications do not apply retroactively to active orders.
