Description

Subject to FAR Clause 52.215-3, entitled, �Solicitation for Information and Planning Purposes, � this announcement constitutes a Sources Sought for information and planning purposes to identify qualified and experienced sources for an anticipated single award, Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract for Navy Public Affairs and Visual Information Support Services under NAICS Code 541611 with a size standard of $14.0M. It is anticipated that the period of performance for this requirement will be a 12 month base year beginning on or about September 25, 2013, with two 12 month option periods. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. It is not to be construed in any way as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. Background: The Department of the Navy, Navy Public Affairs Support Elements (NPASE) mission is to train, equip, and employ expeditionary public affairs (PA) forces that support fleet and component Commanders with scalable and immediate deployable force packages with current and emerging PA and visual information (VI). This includes providing individuals and detachments which are trained in PA and VI operational and tactical planning execution and assessment; broadcast and print journalism; multi-media production; and specialized hand-held imaging capabilities that documents force deployments and activities of the Navy, and when tasked to other services, for the attainment of naval, military and national objectives. NPASE �s Table of Allowance (TOA) consists of approximately 600 line items of PA/VI equipment. NPASE does not have the necessary manning or space to support the inventory needed to conduct its mission. Therefore, contractor support is needed to provide services to fabricate, assemble, package, store, and ship expeditionary imagery kits and provide training on the VI systems in the expeditionary imagery kits. Scope: The Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the government, as needed to perform the work described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). This includes conducting research, providing assessments, and making recommendations to the Command regarding all things pertaining to the TOA. The contractor shall execute TOA change requests as directed and provide technical and engineering support in the development of PA/VI kits and systems for deployed NPASE personnel. The contractor shall work directly with the Contracting Officer �s Representative (COR) to determine the requirements of the PA/VI kits and systems and develop a preliminary list of contents for review and approval. The contractor shall maintain lifecycle management of all equipment; provide operator and maintenance training for the kits upon delivery; and provide logistical support to the government by receiving, transporting, storing, and shipping PA/VI equipment. The contractor shall load any required software to PA/VI systems and equipment and ensure proper connectivity with imagery acquisition, input/output, and production devices. Contractor services include creating backup images of the loaded system and making it available to the government. This ensures that the government has an accurate and dependable means for restoring the system in the event of a computer failure. In addition, the contractor shall install and integrate Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software such as Adobe Photoshop on PA/VI systems and equipment. Contractor personnel shall be trained, qualified and experienced in working as Equipment Logistics Managers; Operational Planning and Execution Analysts; Training and Readiness Analysis; Trainers; Imagery Archiving Specialists; and Project Managers. All contractor personnel must possess or be able to obtain a civilian passport if international travel is required and all contractor personnel must be able to hold/obtain a Secret Level Clearance. Place of Performance: The performance of this work will be performed by the contractor at the following locations with approximated percentage times the contractor will be located at these sites: Contractor �s Hampton Roads, Virginia, Facility(s) � approximately 5 percent; Government �s on-site office location at the Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia � approximately 90 percent; and Other locations in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) � approximately 5 percent. The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC), Norfolk, Virginia is seeking information on qualified and experienced sources for planning purposes in an effort to derive acquisition strategy for the support services detailed above and in the attached PWS.
