This contract is to provide program development, implementation, and integration support services for the efficient and effective management of the CBP Facility Management and Engineering Center (FM&EC). The focus of FM&E PDMSS Program is to provide program development, implementation, and integration support services for the efficient and effective management of the CBP FM&E Center environment.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. Size Standard is $6.5M. The Solicitation/RFP number has not yet been assigned. Interested parties are invited to respond to this Special Notice, which is issued following the procedures described under FAR 15.202. This method also correlates with use of a Statement of Objectives for performance-based support under a single integration support contract. Telephone request for this Special Notice cannot be honored and no prospective offerors list shall be maintained. Please note that no questions will be accepted during Phase 1 of the Advisory Multi-Step process, described below. The anticipated solicitation (Phase 2) release date is mid-February 2007. Please ensure the reference number and program title (U.S. Customs and Border Protection, FM&E PDMSS Program) is referenced on all correspondence. ADVISORY MULTI-STEP PROCESS: This advisory multi-step process is divided into two (2) phases. Phase 1 consists of the submission of (1) relevant contract performance data; (2) answers to questions reflected in the experience form submitted with this notice; (3) vendor capability statements, and (4) subsequent advisory notifications to vendors of their likelihood of being a viable competitor. To preserve the integrity of the on-going solicitation, the government will not entertain any phone call, emails, questions, or communications during this phase. Phase 2 consists of the solicitation, proposal evaluation, and award. PHASE 1 ? SUBMISSION OF VENDOR CAPABILITY STATEMENTS, AGENCY EVALUATIONS AND ADVISORY NOTIFICATIONS. This phase includes submission of Vendor Capability Statements, FM&E PDMSS Program Relevant Experience Questionnaire, contract performance data, followed by CBPs assessment and the advisory notifications. A. Submission of Vendor Capability Statements describing the information requested in the Vendor Capability Statement Instructions below. Vendor Capability Statements and the accompanying Relevant Experience Questionnaire forms must be submitted via email to susan.hargett-evans@dhs.gov no later than Tuesday January 23, 2007 at 2:00pm EST. Please ensure that U.S. Customs and Border Protection, FM&E PDMSS Program is referenced in the subject line of the email. Responding to a performance-based solicitation, especially one utilizing a Statement of Objectives (SOO) that seeks contractor-developed solutions requires a significant effort on the part of offeror. It also requires a substantial effort on the part of the agency?s evaluation team to evaluate an array of different approaches and solutions. Though the advisory notifications are not a competitive range determination, it is the agency?s intent and approach to limit the competitive pool to those select few contractors most qualified to offer a successful solutions thus limiting the number of contractors that will go through the time, expense, and effort of developing proposals. Contractors contemplating competing for this performance-based contract award are asked to carefully review the attached program background, Capability Statements and Criteria documents to make a realistic self-assessment as to their potential viability. B. Agency Evaluations: The Vendor Capability Statements will be evaluated based upon the areas and criteria identified in the Vendor Capability Statements Instructions below. The agency will complete the Phase 1 advisory multi-step process without communication with the vendors who provide submissions. There will be no opportunity for questions during this phase. C. Advisory Notifications: CPB will issue advisory notifications stating that the respondents will either be invited to participate in the resulting acquisition, or based on the information submitted, the respondent is unlikely to be a viable competitor. As explained in FAR 15.202(b) Advisory Multi-Step process, the agency shall inform all respondents that, notwithstanding the advice provided by the Government in response to their submissions, they may participate in the resultant acquisition. PHASE 2 - SOLICITATION, PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND AWARD OF AN IDIQ CONTRACT This phase will be initiated by issuing a formal RFP. Offerors will be required to submit detailed technical and cost proposals, management plans, proposed performance measures, and subcontracting plans. The RFP will also identify tasks to be completed by the successful offeror following contract award. To ensure the government receives the best proposal, prospective offerors will be provided an opportunity to participate in a due diligence session where prospective offerors meet with key agency representatives to learn about the FM&E PDMSS Program, mission goals, and requirements in order to develop a competitive solution.
