SYNOPSIS BIRD AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD (BASH) & WILDLIFE CONTROL SERVICES SOLICITATION FA4621-11-R-0004 Synopsis Description Section: The 22d Contracting Squadron (22 CONS) of the 22d Air Refueling Wing announces the projected solicitation for Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) & Wildlife Control Services at McConnell AFB, Kansas 67221. The 22d Contracting Squadron (AMC), McConnell Air Force Base (AFB), Kansas, intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a 100% set-aside to Small Business (SB) concerns on or about 12 September 2011 for the acquisition of BASH & Wildlife Control services to be performed at McConnell AFB KS. All responsible SB concerns may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be evaluated using Price-Performance Trade-Off (PPTO) evaluation factors with performance being significantly more important than price. The Government intends to issue an award to a single SB concern under a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Requirements Type contract on or about 12 November 2011. Services will be procured pursuant to the regulatory direction of FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. The expected award shall consist of one base period of performance (1 year, 1 February 2012 through 31 January 2013) and may include up to four optional periods of performance (each 1 year in duration, following the Federal Fiscal Year Calendar and running consecutively from the expiration of the base period of performance). There is no guarantee that any optional periods of performance may be exercised. The primary emphasis of this program is to prevent bird airstrike hazards. However, the contractor shall provide a comprehensive wildlife control program to mitigate the risk of wildlife at McConnell AFB, KS. Wildlife encountered includes, but is not limited to: birds, foxes, dogs, skunks, snakes, turtles, coyotes, and deer. The program may include, but is not limited to, the use of trained birds of prey, dogs, pyrotechnics, harassment, trapping, relocation, airfield patrol, and perimeter fence monitoring and as set forth in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for said services. The successful contractor shall provide all personnel, management, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation and all other items necessary (excluding Government Furnished Property). The contractor shall comply with all federal, state, and local regulations in performance of this contract. The NAICS code for this requirement is 561710, Exterminating and Pest Control Service. The Small Business Size Standard is $7,000,000. The closing date and time for submission of offers shall be contained in the solicitation package. The entire solicitation package, including the Standard Form 1449 and continuation pages, the Performance Work Statement, the Department of Labor Wage Determination and the Past and Present Performance Questionnaire, shall be made available only on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) Web Site at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/. Requests for copies of the solicitation package, or any cumulative parts thereof, by any other means shall not be honored. Potential offerors are responsible for monitoring the FedBizOpps website for the release of the solicitation package, which should be on or about 12 September 2011, for downloading their own copy of the solicitation package and for downloading their own copy of each associative amendment, if any. All firms wishing to submit a proposal subsequent to the solicitation described herein MUST be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database as well as the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) database or risk their otherwise-timely proposal being considered non-responsive regardless of its completeness, timeliness or other salient considerations. Information on CCR and ORCA registrations can be obtained at their respective web sites: http://www.ccr.gov and http://orca.bpn.gov. No response to this announcement is required. The government will not pay for any information submitted in response to this announcement. The solicitation subsequent to this announcement may be cancelled. After solicitation and prior to award the possibility exists to reject all offers when cancellation is clearly in the public interest. This announcement does not obligate the Government to pay for any bid/proposal preparation costs. Per AFFARS 5352.201-9101, the following applies: (a) 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. (b) 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 OMBC A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsmen, Mr. Michael R. Jackson, HQ AMC/A7K, 507 Symington Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5022, (618) 229-0267, fax (618) 256-6668, email: Michael.jackson@scott.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. (d) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. (e) 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. *****
