Phase 1 Breakwater. This contract involves constructing the initial phase for the restoration of Deer Island, specifically restoring the extension of the rock breakwater structure known as Katrina Key, approximately 12,000 feet, to soften the effects of normal wave erosion. This restoration includes placement of armor layer stone or bioengineered reef as the breakwater and associated geocomposite placement to return Katrina Key to near historical 1850's dimensions. Offerors are hereby advised that all references to the FAR and DFARS within this solicitation pertain to the new Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide). While much of the verbiage has remained consistent with the previous version of the FAR and DFARS, there are notable differences. It is incumbent upon the contractor to be fully aware of these changes and ensure their proposal complies accordingly. Furthermore, this solicitation includes specific cybersecurity requirements. The scope of work requires the contractor and/or subcontractor(s) information system to process, store, or transmit Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Consequently, the contractor and/or subcontractor(s) must comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. The Contractor shall have and maintain for the duration of this contract, order, or agreement a current CMMC status at the following CMMC level, or higher: CMMC Level 1 (Self) for all information systems used in performance of the contract, task order, or delivery order that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI. For complete details, see DFARS 252.204-7021, "Contractor Compliance With the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements," which outlines the definitions, requirements, reporting, and subcontract information for this contract/order/agreement. NOTE: Phased implementation of CMMC is expected as follows: From 10 Nov 2025 through 9 Nov 2026: CMMC Levels 1 and 2 (Self Assessments) may be required in solicitations. From 10 Nov 2026 through 9 Nov 2027: Levels 1 and 2 (Self and C3PAO) may be required. From 10 Nov 2027 through 9 Nov 2028: Any CMMC Level may be required in solicitations if the Project Manager (PM) / Requiring Activity (RA) has provided a CMMC level for the specific requirement. Prior to 10 Nov 2028, the PM/RA has sole discretion to determine if CMMC will be applied to a contract requiring the use of information systems for FCI/CUI. However, beginning 10 Nov 2028, the clause will be prescribed for use if PMs/RAs determine that the contractor will be required to use contractor information systems in the performance of the contract, task order, or delivery order to process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI, excluding awards solely for the acquisition of COTS items.
