- Description
- Market survey questions were created to better ascertain current market dynamics and market availability of A&AS support contractors for SMC. An SMC A-AS Industry Day is scheduled 19 January 2010, 1:00pm PST, at the Gordon Conference Center, Room 1, 483 N Aviation Blvd, Building 270 (1st Floor), Los Angeles AFB CA 90245-2808. Due to limited accommodations, interested primes are requested to limit company participation to 2 members maximum. Current and potential team members are requested to limit company participation to 1 member. Each attendee must register NLT 4:00 PM PST, 15 January 2010 at the following website: https://einvitations.afit.edu/SMCPI/anim.cfm. Each interested prime and team member (current or potential) is requested to provide one completed questionnaire (enclosed) by the end of the forum. At the soonest available opportunity a draft performance work statement (PWS) will be provided under an FBO update or handed out at the forum at the latest. Background. The Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA is in the midst of planning a follow-on acquisition to replace the SMC Financial Support (SFS) and SMC Acquisition Support (SAS) programs for Advisory & Assisted Services (A-AS). The SFS program provides financial, cost management, schedule management, and related training A-AS support to SMC organizations. The SAS program provides manpower, personnel, administration, configuration/data management, acquisition planning, contracting and associated training A-AS support. Both programs awarded task orders under FAR 8 Fair Opportunity business rules via SMC Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) based upon GSA Professional Engineering Services (PES), Schedule 871, contracts. This work was set-aside for small business BPA holders with less than 1,000 employees consistent with NAICS code 541710 (circa 2002). Both programs are expected to complete by mid calendar year 2011. Follow-On. SMC anticipates a single follow-on acquisition reserved for small business that integrates the functionalities of SFS and SAS. The SMC A-AS Industry Day is intended to augment market research activities to form the basis for the acquisition strategy. To the maximum extent possible, contract type is anticipated as Firm-Fixed Price. It is unknown if SMC will continue its FAR 8 BPA GSA schedule implementation or establish FAR 15 IDIQ or other type contracts. Consistent with past practices, the Government is discerning the use of NAICS code 541712 (associated with GSA PES). However, NAICS code 541611 (associated with GSA MOBIS) is being investigated as an alternative under a BPA strategy. The follow-on acquisition is expected to be ready for the commencement of work by July 2011. C2C. Coupled to this acquisition, it is anticipated that SMC Contractor to Civilian Conversion (C2C) activities will directly impact effort on this program. The goal of C2C is to convert contracted A-AS support to Government civilian staffing. The SMC C2C plan is currently at the pre-decisional stage. Its completion, implementation, magnitude, and phasing are TBD.
