This Screening Information Request (SIR) is issued with the intention of obtaining competitive proposals from companies who qualify. The applicable NAICS Code for this requirement is as follows: 541512: Other Management Consulting Services (Computer systems integration design consulting services) Pursuant to FAA AMS Clause 3.3.1-10, Availability of Funds, this SIR is issued on a "Subject to the Availability of Funds Basis". The actual budget picture for this requirement has yet to be solidified for Fiscal Year 2011 and beyond. Scope of Work Contractor resources are required to provide Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) integration services and support for the FAA's Unified Contracting System (UCS). The Statement of Work (SOW) is included at Section C of the SIR. The FAA is planning to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Time and Materials (T&M) contract under which these services are to be purchased via task orders. Excluded CompaniesThe FAA received assistance from Optimal Solutions and Technologies Incorporated (OST, Inc.) of Washington, DC in the preparation of solicitation documents and in the procurement planning process. Therefore pursuant to AMS 3.1.7-1, Exclusion from Future Agency Contracts, OST, Inc. is excluded from participating in this solicitation. Anticipated SIR Process The FAA is planning a two-phase process for selecting a contractor to perform the required services. In response to this SIR, offerors are required to submit a narrative describing their relevant past experience as it relates to providing services of a similar size and complexity for similar requirements. Offerors are also required to address the following: -Completed Business Declaration Form; -Financial Responsibility Issues; and -Company Quality Management Certifications (See Section C). In Phase One, Relevant Past Experience and Past Performance Evaluation, the FAA will evaluate each offeror's Relevant Past Experience and Past Performance. As a result of this evaluation, the FAA will down-select the top five (5) most qualified offerors. Only the proposals of the down-selected offerors will be evaluated in Phase Two, Technical/Management Approach Evaluation and Price/Cost Evaluation. Based on the results of the SIR response, evaluation and review, the Government reserves the right to invite more than or less than five (5) offerors to participate in Phase 2 of this solicitation. The FAA reserves the right to use the scores that result from the Phase 1 Evaluation (related to the offerors' disclosed relevant experience) as part of the overall evaluation and selection process (during the evaluation of Phase 2). The evaluated scores of the Relevant Past Experience may be used to "weight" the Past Performance Survey feedback provided by the offerors' customers during the Phase 2 evaluation process. As part of the Phase 2 evaluation, offerors will be required to have the four (4) customers cited on the "Previous Contracts List" submit completed Past Performance Questionnaires/Surveys. All interested sources are referred to the attached SIR/RFO and attachments.
