- Description
- 1. The USSOCOM is requesting information from appropriate companies or parties currently developing manned/unmanned platforms on a) the capabilities of their platforms and b) the production capabilities of their facilities. During the initial information gathering of this ISR RFI, request companies planning to provide a capability response identify, to the USSOCOM point of contact (POC) named below, the name of your company, address, telephone number, and name and position in the company of the individual to contact for future dialog. Broad industry participation is desired but USSOCOM is keenly interested in designs that are currently in production or capable of rapidly entering into production (delivery of a capability within one year would be highly desired). Details and requirements can be found on FedTeDs https://www.fedteds.gov/ under PR H92222-07-R-0008. 2. This notice is not to be construed as an acquisition Request For Proposal (RFP), nor is any commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract implied, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this request. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request or to otherwise pay for the information solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subpart 31.205-18, Independent Research and Development and Bid and Proposal Costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. No responses received will be used as a proposal. 3. Further USSOCOM interest will be dependent on the results of the RFI capability assessment (including mission performance assessments) and USSOCOM operational requirements analyses and determinations. Potentially, future leasing or purchasing agreements may be sought to obtain platforms in order to temporarily or permanently modify them with mission and/or instrumentation equipment for more extensive evaluation. 4. Submissions are requested COB Monday, 22 Jan 07 and may be made by e-mail or mailing your response (response on any common computer media format) to the PCO, Kim DeBois Sousa at deboisk@socom.mil . 5. This notice is part of Government Market Research, a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the ?art of the possible? from industry with respect to their current and near-term abilities. The information collected may be used by the Government to explore future strategies for the possible uses of platforms within the military. Information received as a result of this request will be considered as sensitive and will be protected as such. Any company proprietary information contained in the response shall be separately marked. Any proprietary information received in response to this request will be properly protected from any unauthorized disclosure. The Government will not use proprietary information submitted from any one firm to establish the capability and requirements for any future systems acquisition, so as to not inadvertently restrict competition. 6. U.S. and non-U.S. firms are permitted to respond to this RFI. Responses to questions from interested parties will be promptly answered and provided equally to all interested parties unless some release of proprietary information is involved or the answer addresses a question peculiar to a Company or that Company?s response. Currently, one-on-one information gathering sessions with respondents are not contemplated. If one-on-one sessions with interested parties are conducted, they will be offered to all to clarify understanding of the submittal, the capability ramifications, or to discuss the form of agreement to cover any flight demonstrations. Information feedback sessions may be offered to respondents after all qualitative assessments are completed.
