- Description
- Points of Contact: Joetta Bernhard, Contracting Officer, 315/330-2308 (Joetta.Bernhard@rl.af.mil); David Ferris, Program Manager, 315/330-4408 (David.Ferris@rl.af.mil). BAA 99-04-IFKPA is amended as follows: Delete all information under "General Information" and substitute the following: "GENERAL INFORMATION: Prospective offerors should first submit a 5 - 10 page white paper that describes their technical approach, an estimate of the cost, a schedule, a description of the deliverables (i.e. final report, breadboard, brassboard, etc.) and whether the proposal is intended to be short-term or long-term technology development. Based on the technical, financial and schedule content of the white paper the government will decide whether to request a proposal. Offerors are required to submit an original and (5) copies of their white paper with a cover letter indicating whether the offeror is a large, small, woman-owned small business, Historically Black College or University, or Minority Institution, to AFRL/IFEM, ATTN: David Ferris, 32 Brooks Road, Rome, NY 13441-4114. White papers may be submitted throughout the life of this BAA. Contract awards will be made throughout the life of this BAA as funding becomes available. Also, small business only should send one (1) copy of the cover letter only (1st Class Mail, Unclassified only) to ATTN: Ms Janis Norelli, Director of Small Business, AFRL/IFB, 26 Electronic Parkway, Rome NY 13441-4514. Options are discouraged and unpriced options will not be considered. Offerors must mark their white papers with the restrictive language stated in FAR 15.609(a). Multiple white papers may be submitted in different areas of technology. White papers are limited to a total page count of 10 pages and shall be double-spaced with a font no smaller than 12 pitch. NIJ has budgeted approximately $4.0 million in FY99. Additional funding will be available in FY00, FY01, FY02 and FY03. The total value of all efforts awarded under this BAA will not exceed $15 million. Proposals should be for up to 24-months of effort, and range in value between $500,000 - $1M. This effort should include those tasks necessary to get to a breadboard system (in the case of long term technology) or a brassboard system (in the case of near term technology). It is anticipated that the effort will be modified via an engineering change proposal for continued technology development with the ultimate goal of a demonstration. The demonstration will depend on the type of technology developed and whether the technology is considered near term or long term. Only government evaluators will make selections under this BAA. Personnel from the Air Force Research Laboratory and the National Institute of Justice, as well as other federal agencies and state and local police agencies will evaluate proposals. The cost of preparing proposals in response to this announcement is not an allowable direct charge to any resulting contract or any other contract, but may be an allowable expense to the normal bid and proposal indirect cost in FAR 31.205-18. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear significant concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. Routine questions are not considered to be "significant concerns" and should be communicated directly to the Contracting Officer, Joetta A. Bernhard, and (315) 330-2308. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the Contracting Officer or Program Manager, but to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. The Ombudsman for this acquisition is Lt. Col. Reid S. Lerum, Chief, Contracting Division, AFRL/IFK at (315) 330-7746. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of the proposals or in the source selection process. This BAA is open and effective for twenty-four months from the date of the publication of this notice. To receive a copy of the AFRL "BAA & PRDA: A Guide for Industry," Sep 1996 (Rev), write ATTN: Mrs. Carol Furgol, AFRL/IFK, 26 Electronic Parkway, Rome, NY 13441-4514, or fax her at FAX 315-330-4728, or the guide may be accessed at: http://www.rl.af.mil/div/IFK/bp-guide.html. All responsible firms may submit proposals, which shall be considered. Respondents are asked to provide their Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) number with their proposal(s) and reference BAA 99-04-IFKPA. Only Contracting Officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (28-AUG-2001).
