- Description
- The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to acquire technical engineering and management support services in a timely and quality manner for its Office of Coal and Power Systems. These services will be acquired through the award of multiple performance based, task order contracts under which Cost-Plus-Award-Fee, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee and Firm-Fixed-Price task orders will be issued. Request for Proposals (RFP) DE-RP01-03FE67602 will be available on the Department of Energy's website at http://doe-iips.pr.doe.gov 15 calendar days after the issuance of this FedBizOps announcement. All proposals must be received through the Department of Energy's Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) by 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, November 18, 2002. Any inquiries regarding the RFP or the submission of proposals must be submitted in writing via IIPS or e-mailed to Barry Page, Contract Specialist, at barry.page@pr.doe.gov. Telephone inquiries will not be answered. Pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 52.219-6 entitled "Notice of Total Small Business Set Aside", these requirements are 100% set aside for small business concerns. The NAICS code for these requirements is 541330, and the small business size standard is $23 million pursuant to the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. All contracts that are awarded for these requirements will consist of a three-year base period and a two-year option period. The Government anticipates that 72,437 Direct Productive Labor Hours (DPLH) will be required annually for these requirements over the five-year period of performance. The Office of Coal & Power Systems fosters the development of advanced power generation and alternative fuel technology programs in partnership with industry. This partnership assumes that the program is responsive to a changing domestic and international energy landscape, and provides for inherent technology transfer and know-how to the private sector energy industry. The goals of the program are to substantially increase efficiency, eliminate harmful levels of pollutants, reduce cost for power generation, and to develop ultra-clean transportation fuels from coal, natural gas, opportunity fuels and other feedstocks. In addition, Office of Coal and Power Systems focuses on the domestic and international objectives to reduce environmental pollutants particularly with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. This requirement encompasses the following areas of support for DOE's Office of Coal and Power Systems: 1.) Quick turn-around support for the Office in the form of quick studies and analyses, cross cutting outreach support activities, and the facilitation of strategic planning activities; 2.) Power Systems; 3.) Environmental Systems; 4.) Coal Fuels and Industrial Systems; 5.) Advanced Research; 6.) International and Import/Export; and 7.) Planning and Environmental Analyses. Technical engineering support services in each of these areas may include but are not limited to: a.) technical and sensitivity studies, assessments and/or forecasts in the following areas: technology introduction and market penetration; energy and related industries; domestic and international markets and their transformation and trends; market barriers, opportunities and incentives such as capital costs, financial and technical risks, and insurability; economic, social, regulatory and policy impacts, and infrastructure status, requirements and projections; benefit/cost analyses; environmental and externality analyses, and analyses of technical, policy and strategic implications of advanced research initiatives and new program proposals; b.) studies of future advanced research and technical development directions and their potential synergies, and identification of promising new/innovative technologies; c.) "Design-to-Cost" studies for the Office of Coal and Power Systems to identify areas of Research and Development for achieving cost reductions and improving competitiveness; d.) outreach support in the following areas: technology, market and commercialization forums and conferences ; co-funded industry studies and technology transfer for commercialization such as Clean Coal Technology and other systems technology demonstrations; utility and industry seminars; energy market surveys; state agency interactions; international trade forums; creation of effective tools for education and information dissemination; benchmarking successful outreach methodologies and approaches; analyses of innovative mechanisms designed for use in advanced research programs to increase collaborative research with industry and to improve technology transfer and commercialization; and e.) documentation preparation support for program planning, supporting analyses and briefing materials, background analyses, and issue papers. Management support services in each of the seven areas indicated above may include but are not limited to: a.) financial and budget support in the following areas: providing research and analysis of documentation related to all budget phases; performing financial analysis on various programs and topics; maintaining files and records related to financial aspects of programs; assisting in the data collection and assembly of draft program summary documents; developing documentation in support of the program execution process; b.) management analysis and administrative support in the following areas: conducting evaluations and recommending improvements in methods of operation, systems and procedure; providing administrative support in various functional areas, collection preparation and analysis of administrative data; providing support in the conduct of meetings, conferences, seminars and presentations including graphics, slides, etc.; assisting in library operations including the development of file schemes and methodology for data storage as well as document distribution and reproduction; and c.) systems development and maintenance in the following areas: assisting in requirements analyses of management information needs and development of systems and procedures to meet needs; supporting the periodic update of management systems and computerized databases and providing the necessary data collection, entry, conversion and verification as required; conducting reconciliation and comparison between systems and establishing appropriate interface where necessary. Proposals submitted in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) DE-RP01-03FE67602 will be selected for award on the basis of best value for the Government taking into consideration the tradeoff between technical/performance evaluation factors and price.
