- Description
- Description Request for both sources sought and comments on DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS), Areas Distribution Centers, for the A-76 Competitive Sourcing Study for distribution of order entry, inventory, logistics and warehouse management activities required to support distribution of published products (e.g., forms, publications, Braille products, and CD ROMs) to the public and within IRS. Objective The Internal Revenue Service has two objectives for submitting this notice. The first objective is to obtain industry comments on the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) for an A-76 Competitive Sourcing Study for distribution of forms and publications to both internal and external customers of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Government is currently performing this work. The Government will consider all information received when preparing a final PWS; however, any and all changes are at the sole discretion of the Government. In addition to comments to the draft PWS, please address the following: 1. Proposal preparation period. Length of time you believe you will need to prepare a proposal to adequately address all requirements; 2. Contract term (length). Typically, a service contract has a one-year base period and 4 one-year option periods. Provide the advantages and disadvantages for having more than 4 one-year option periods; 3. Appropriate performance incentives. Provide possible performance incentives and the advantages and disadvantages of each suggested incentive. NOTE: Incentives included in the best value private-to-private competition must also be incorporated into the Government?s Most Efficient Organization (MEO?s) proposal in order to compare like proposals for a cost comparison and final selection; and, 4. Any additional information you need from the IRS that would assist you in pursuing this effort as a business opportunity. Any information provided is voluntary. As such, the Government will not cover any costs for any information or inquiry submitted as a result of this request. Should the Government have questions regarding individual responses, the responder will be contacted for further information. Please include the name of a point of contact, e-mail address and telephone number of this person. This is DRAFT PWS and should not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a FORMAL RFP, RFQ or contract. The DRAFT PWS is available at the following IRS internet site: http://www.procurement.irs.treas.gov (under Business Opportunities). All comments regarding the PWS and associated documents should be e-mailed to AWSS.RFI.ADC@irs.gov. Only electronic comments will be accepted. The second objective is to obtain capability statements, based upon the requirements outlined in the DRAFT PWS, of all (large and small) businesses interested in this opportunity. Responses will assist the Government in determining whether to set-aside/restrict competition in some way or solicit offers from all responsible sources. The acquisition under this A-76 study will be conducted under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 493110, General Warehousing and Storage, which establishes a small business size standard of $21.5M. All interested businesses are hereby invited to submit a capability statement of no more than ten pages to demonstrate their ability to provide the services outlined in the DRAFT PWS. Capability statements should be tailored to this request and identify the source?s capabilities to complete this requirement, including information on key staff experience and a description of corporate experience with similar projects of like size and complexity. In order for the IRS to assess set-aside possibilities, interested parties shall also include a cover letter that includes company name, points of contract, telephone numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses for points of contact, and identifies the company as one or more of the following: 1) small business; 2) 8(a) business; 3) HUBZone small business; 4) small disadvantaged business; 5) woman-owned small business; (6) veteran-owned small business; or, (7) service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Please note: A SOLICITATION DOES NOT EXIST AT THIS TIME. All comments and capability statements should be provided via e-mail no later than December 13, 2002 at 3:30 p.m. EST. Only electronic responses sent to the following e-mail address will be accepted. E-mail address is AWSS.RFI.ADC@irs.gov. E-mail responses requiring more than 5megabytes of memory must be sent as separate files. Point of Contact Donna Andersen, Internal Revenue Service, A:P:O:B 5th flr, 6009 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, MD 20745. Telephone number: (202) 283-1341.
