-------

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is pleased to release a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for its Antarctic Research Vessel (ARV) Integrator requirement. It represents a functionally complete RFP with sections A through M. NSF-s intent is to provide transparency and early exposure for what is a robust requirement. NSF desires feedback from industry on the whole of the RFP, be that technical or contractual requirements, instructions to offerors and evaluation criteria, or small business engagement. By inviting questions NSF desires to enhance mutual understanding by reducing ambiguity.

This draft release includes a Question and Answer (Q&A) matrix on which interested parties must submit their questions. After the conclusion of this release, all questions and answers will be provided via SAM.gov - the identity of parties who submitted questions will not be provided.

During industry-s review, internal efforts related to ARV acquisition planning will be ongoing. All elements of the RFP are in draft form and subject to change according to NSF need, in addition to industry feedback. This includes the contents of the associated attachments, such as the drawings, reports, and studies. NSF-s desire for feedback is measured against its inability to tailor requirements to the benefit of a specific interested party. NSF reminds interested parties that responsiveness to questions or inclusion of any suggestions is at NSF-s discretion. To maximize fairness, only feedback received on the provided matrix will be reviewed and considered.

As a reminder, this is a draft RFP and we are not soliciting proposa...
