Request for Information (RFI) #2, dated: 06 May 2008 Amending RFI #1, dated 21 Dec 2007 Description THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. This supplemental RFI is issued for the purpose of refining initial responses received in order to develop a viable solicitation that will best communicate the Government's requirements to industry. Response to this RFI is strictly voluntary and will not affect any ability to submit an offer if, or when, a solicitation is released. The requested information is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. No entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges will arise as a result of the submission of information in response to this RFI. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with applicable Government regulations. GENERAL INFORMATION.

The primary focus of any resultant contract will be to provide mission support services for the HPW, including Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), and Other Non-R&D Mission support services.

The small business size standard associated with this NAICS code is $6,500,000. The anticipated program ceiling for this acquisition is $95 Million. The HPW currently anticipates awarding at least 3 contracts. At this time, the HPW is considering the following pricing arrangements for inclusion under any resultant contracts - Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost-Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF), or Time & Materials (T&M) depending on the nature of the requirement at the task order level. Additionally, the HPW currently anticipates that each contract will have a basic ordering period of five years with one additional year for performance. Central Contract Registration (CCR) will be mandatory for these contracts (see CCR website at www.ccr.gov). BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM INFORMATION. These IDIQ contracts will address the mission support services as outlined in the Draft Performance Work Statement (Attachment 1), dated 05 May 2008.
