- Description
- The Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services (EXPRESS) Program is a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) program based upon the use of GSA Federal Supply Schedules. The EXPRESS program provides advisory and assistance services (including all supervision, labor, incidental materials, and travel necessary to perform) in support of the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command (AMCOM) and its customers. The EXPRESS program consists of four (4) domains in which services may be ordered: Technical, Programmatic, Logistics, and Business and Analytical. Representative BPAs (including Statements of Work) as well as other EXPRESS information may be found on the EXPRESS website located at https://redstoneappsrv1.redstone.army.mil/acweb/acwebdba.acweb_home_child?p_link_id=83. In June 2007, AMCOM issued a Request for Information (RFI) to survey the commercial services market for potential small business firms with the capabilities and interest in participating as a prime contractor/team leader in the Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services (EXPRESS) Program. Multiple responses were received as a result of the RFI. The Government assessed these responses on a domain-by-domain basis, and determined that capable small business prime contractors/team leaders exist to warrant the conduct of a competition in each domain. The Government intends to award the following BPAs in the domains noted: B&A two, Logistics three, Programmatic three, and Technical five. These are estimated numbers only. The Government reserves the right to vary the number of awards depending on the number of responsive proposals submitted. Eligibility to compete for the anticipated BPA awards is limited to those small businesses who hold one of the required GSA schedules and who meet the size standards for the NAICS applicable to that schedule identified as primary for the EXPRESS program. Respondents may seek consideration as a prime/team leader in more than one domain. Each prime/team leader is required to hold at least one of the following GSA schedules at the time it responds to the Request for Quotation (RFQ): 871-Professional Engineering Services (PES), 874V-Logistics Worldwide (LOGWORLD), 874-Management Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS), 70-Information Technology (IT), or a 00CORP-Consolidated Products and Services Schedule (formerly Corporate Schedule) including appropriate PES, LOGWORLD, MOBIS, or IT Special Item Numbers. Respondents may submit multiple schedules per domain in response to the RFQ. However, a primary schedule that will be used by the prime/team leader to satisfy the majority of the domain requirements must be identified. Companies interested in obtaining a GSA schedule, or expediting a schedule application that has been submitted may contact the local representative, Steve Sizemore via email at steve.sizemore@gsa.gov. If MOBIS or LOGWORLD is identified as the primary schedule, the NAICS Code and business size standard assigned to the respondents schedule by GSA will apply. If PES is identified as the primary schedule, NAICS 541330 and a size standard of $25M, will apply to the Business & Analytical, Logistics and Programmatic Domains and NAICS 541712 and a size standard of 1,000 employees will apply to the Technical Domain. If IT is identified as the primary schedule, NAICS 541511/541512/541513 and a size standard of $25M will apply to all domains. If the Consolidated Products and Services Schedule is identified as the primary schedule, the primary special item number covered by this schedule (PES, MOBIS, LOGWORLD, or IT) that will be used to satisfy the majority of domain requirements must also be identified. The NAICS and size standard for the primary special item number, as identified above, will then apply. Respondents are cautioned that failure to meet the following criteria will render their submission non-responsive, and they will not be considered for award: (1) Must hold one of the required GSA schedules, as of the date of submission of quote, (2) Must meet the small business size standard for the NAICS applicable to the schedule identified as primary for the EXPRESS program, (3) Submission of all required documentation as stated in the RFQ. The Requests for Quotation (RFQs) will be posted on the EXPRESS website, approximately 30 days from the date of this notice. Responses to the RFQs will be due approximately 30 days after the RFQ issue date to the following address: COMMANDER, U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command, ATTN: AMSAM-AC-OS-O/Marcia Tully, Sparkman Center, Building 5303, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898. Respondents are advised that responses sent by conventional US Mail service or courier services (Federal Express and UPS) are not routed directly to the above address. Late submissions will not be considered. Questions/answers for the initial RFQ in 2004 are applicable to this RFQ. These Q&As are located on the EXPRESS website. Any additional questions regarding this RFQ shall be submitted electronically to RFQ Questions and Answers on the EXPRESS website.
