- PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ADVISORY MULTI-STEP PROCESS. Please read this entire notice carefully as it constitutes the only notice that will be issued regarding the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) New Campus East (NCE) Deployment Planning and Execution (NGA NDPE) Advisory Multi-Step Process. NGA intends to award a competitive unrestricted Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF) contract to a contractor/contractor team with the proven ability to plan, integrate, organize, synchronize and execute a complex sustained, classified move of equipment, materials and 8,500 personnel from six geographically dispersed locations as directed by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act and several non-BRAC locations in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area to a single new campus located in Springfield VA. The successful contractor must demonstrate the ability to plan and execute the simultaneous relocation of agency missions, resources, and personnel. The Government anticipates that the majority of this effort may be performed under NAICS code 541614, Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services. All documents applicable to this pre-solicitation notice will be available via the Internet at www.fedteds.gov . Interested parties are invited to respond to this Presolicitation Notice, which is issued following the procedures described under FAR 15.202 entitled "Advisory multi-step process". The result of this pre-solicitation notice will help determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency's requirements exist. Additionally, it is not the Government's intention to enter into a contract based on this notice or otherwise pay for information solicited. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). This is a pre-solicitation for planning purposes only, and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the NGA. NGA will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to the subject of this request for capabilities statements. Please ensure the Request for Capability Statement (RFC) number AC-NCE-02 and program title (NGA NDPE) is referenced on all correspondence. Telephone requests for this Presolicitation Notice will not be honored and no prospective Offerors list shall be maintained. ADVISORY MULTI-STEP PROCESS: This advisory multi-step process is divided into two (2) steps. Step 1 consists of the submission of the Contractor Capability Statement, agency evaluation of the capability statement, and subsequent advisory notification to contractors of their likelihood of being a viable competitor. Step 2 consists of the solicitation, conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This Step will be initiated by issuing a formal RFP in the near future. Due to the short timeline associated with the NCE schedule and the classification of geospatial intelligence data sources, systems and methodologies, prospective contractors must presently possess adequate cleared facilities, IAS systems, and personnel capable of handling and processing TS/SI/TK data. STEP 1: SUBMISSION OF CONTRACTOR CAPABILITY STATEMENT, GOVERNMENT EVALUATION AND ADVISORY NOTIFICATION: This step includes submission of the Contractor Capability Statement followed by Government evaluation and advisory notification. The program Draft Statement of Objectives (SOO) is attached for the purpose of providing background information required to participate in this acquisition. Please note the SOO is a draft and may be changed substantially. Please note that no questions will be accepted during Step 1. The capability statement Evaluation Criteria are included in this announcement. A. Submission of Contractor Capability Statement: Interested contractors are invited to submit a Capability Statement describing the information requested in the Contractor Capability Statement Instructions below. Contractor Capability Statements must be submitted electronically to Paula.J.Ireland@nga.mil and Joyce.M.Jennings@nga.mil no later than 2:00 PM, EDST July 20, 2007. Responding to this requirement will require a significant effort on the part of the contractor to propose to the Government. It will also require a substantial effort on the part of the Government's evaluation team to evaluate an array of different approaches or solutions. It is the Government?s intent through the use of the advisory multi-step process to limit the number of contractors that will go through the time, expense, and effort of developing proposals to those that are deemed most qualified. Contractors contemplating competing for this contract award are asked to carefully review the attached Draft SOO and the Capability Statement Evaluation Criteria contained in this announcement to make a realistic self-assessment as to whether your organization has the experience and capacity to compete. B. Government Evaluations: The Contractor Capability Statement will be evaluated based upon the areas and criteria identified in the Contractor Capability Statement Instructions and Evaluation Criteria section. The Government will complete the Step 1 advisory multi-step process without communicating with the contractors who provide submissions. C. Advisory Notifications: NGA will issue an advisory notification stating that the respondent, based on the information submitted, is likely or unlikely to be a viable competitor. NGA will advise respondents considered not to be viable competitors of the general basis for that opinion. Notwithstanding the advice provided by the Government in response to their submissions, all respondants may participate in the resultant acquisition.
