The 782nd Missiles and Armament Group Contracting Office at Robins AFB GA, has a requirement for Engineering Services for an Arming Solenoid Extension Study (Part Number 7631354-10). The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract for the redesign of the arming unit of the MAU-12Bomb Rack to increase reliability, including the design, development and testing of prototypes. Proposals will include a requirement for technical data for future competitive procurement. Efforts shall include technical data package updates, chemical analysis, material analysis, and developing and testing prototypes to validate the life serviceability and reliability of the arming unit redesign. Delivery Schedule/Period of Performance will be 24 Months. The proposed contract is 100% set aside for small business concerns. The solicitation will be available for viewing or downloading at www.fedbizopps.gov only. This solicitation will be issued as a request for proposal (RFP). Based on market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items or Service, in its solicitation for the described services. However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial service within 15 days of this notice. No telephone requests will be accepted and no hard copies will be issued. Offerors shall prepare their proposals in accordance with mandatory, explicit and detailed instructions contained in the RFP. Proposals will be evaluated and award made in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in the RFP, Performance/Price Trade-Off. Prospective offerors may request a copy of the performance-based work statement from the point of contact listed below. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. OFFERORS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW RATINGS IN PPIRS/CPARS FOR ACCURACY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. 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. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. 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 Center/MAJCOM ombudsman, Crystal B. Hollifield at 478 222-1088, FAX 478 222-1855, email Crystal.Hollifield@robins.af.mil. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU 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. The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. 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 Contracting Officer. The solicitation document may contain information that has been designated as "Militarily Critical Technical Data." Only businesses that have been certified by the Department of Defense, United States/Canada Joint Certification Office, and have a valid requirement may have a copy of the solicitation document. All requests for copies of the solicitation document must include a certified copy of DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement.
