- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Information Directorate has a requirement for an integrated software solution that improves upon the targeting functionality currently performed by Air Force (AF) and joint targeting automation software. The successful software approach will: (1) advance the current software functionality towards full automation of all needed targeting capabilities, including support to all elements of the joint targeting cycle and to time-critical and time-sensitive targeting operations; (2) improve software performance; (3) be more responsive to operational needs; and (4) as required, incorporate new versions of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and newly developed (Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS)) software. Successful software delivery will require the successful offeror to: (1) participate in integration testing with various operating environments (Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS), to include Global Command and Control System - Integrated Intelligence and Imagery (GCCS-I3), GCCS-Joint (GCCS-J), GCCS-Joint Digital Intelligence Support System (GCCS-JDISS), GCCS-Maritime (GCCS-M), GCCS-Air Force (GCCS-AF), Modernized Integrated Database (MIDB), etc.); and (2) respond quickly to user mission needs concerning the integration, training, initialization, operation, and management of the delivered suite of applications. While meeting the needs of the targeting community-at-large, customer-specific capabilities must be provided and interoperability with legacy and evolving systems, data bases and architectures must be maintained. Anticipated deliverables include computer software and technical documentation. An Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) - Supply contract is contemplated. Both Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) orders will be issued under this contract. The total ordering period for this contract will be sixty (60) months and the acquiring agency anticipates that approximately $49.9 million will be sufficient to cover orders for the duration of the ordering period. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511. The small business size standard for this code is $25 million in annual receipts. Evaluation of the small business capability packages received in response to the previous Sources Sought notice resulted in a determination that a small business set-aside was not appropriate. The successful offeror will be selected as a result of full and open competition. Foreign participation is excluded at the prime contractor level. All information generated or maintained under this effort is export controlled. Therefore, prospective offerors must provide a completed and approved DD Form 2345 which certifies the offeror is on the Certified Contractors Access List (CCAL) or that the offeror is seeking application to CCAL. For further information on CCAL, contact the Defense Logistics Information Service at (877) 352-2255 or on the web at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/. It is solely the responsibility of the contractor to obtain an export license from the U. S. Department of State and to comply with the federal laws and regulations. Questions concerning the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export licensing must be directed to the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and not the Air Force Project Engineer, Contracting Office, or Air Force Foreign Disclosure Office. A technical library relating to the subject area of this acquisition is available for review by potential offerors at the Air Force Research Laboratory/RIEBC, Building 3, 525 Brooks Road, Rome New York 13441-4505. The library contains technical data subject to export control. Appointments for access may be made by submitting a request to the AFRL Program Manager, at least four business days in advance. Prior to access being granted, potential offerors must submit a copy of an approved DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, along with a letter from the Data Custodian designated on that form, authorizing access to whomever will be reviewing the library. Address the request to: ATTN: Dennis Jones, Air Force Research Laboratory/RIEBC, 525 Brooks Road, Rome, New York 13441-4505, or via fax to (315) 330-1633. At time of award, the successful offeror must have Top Secret SCI security clearances at the prime level and at any tier where system integration will be performed. Interested parties are advised that to perform this acquisition the successful offeror will be required to have at the time of award 3 personnel with Top Secret SCI clearances and 3 personnel with collateral clearances (total for the prime and all subcontractors). Within 60 days of contract award the contractor must have a total of 3 personnel with Top Secret SCI clearances and 10 personnel with collateral clearances (total for the prime and all subcontractors). Interested parties are also advised that to perform this acquisition the successful offeror will be required to have SIPRNet access at time of award to work operational site problems. In accordance with AFFARS 5301.91, an Ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. Before consulting with an Ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the Contracting Officer, Lori L. Anguilli, (315) 330-1955, Lori.Anguilli@rl.af.mil, for resolution. AFFARS Clause 5352.201-9101 Ombudsman (AUG 2005) will be incorporated into the resultant contract. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the Ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The Ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. Consulting an Ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). If resolution cannot be made by the Contracting Officer, concerned parties may contact the following AFRL Ombudsman: Susan Hunter, Building 15, RM225, 1864 4th Street, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7130 FAX: (937) 255-5036 COM: (937) 255-7754. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the AFRL level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force Ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067.

Do not contact the Ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contract Specialist.
