The Government intends to award one contract and is only soliciting small business concerns in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.203 and 19.502. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541519 - Other Computer Related Services. The size standard is $23.0. The guaranteed Minimum Quantity is (1) one-year Base and the Maximum Quantity is (1) one-year Base and (1) one-year option. A single Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Contract is anticipated, based on "best value" source selection using full tradeoff source selection procedures as further described in the solicitation. The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) (Section J, Exhibit A); Request for Proposal ((RFP) (Attachment 1)); Instructions to Offerors ((Section L) (Attachment 2)); Evaluation Factors ((Section M) (Attachment 3)); Past Performance Questionnaire (Section J, Attachment 4); Performance Work Statement((PWS) (Section J, Attachment 5)); Security Classification, DD Fm 254 (Section J, Attachment 5); Contract Full-Time Reporting (Attachment 6) and Wage Determination No 2005-2521, Rev 13, Dated 13 Jun 2012 (Section J, Attachment 7), and Department of Defense Contract Security Classification, DD Fm 254 (Section J, Attachment 5), has been provided in this solicitation. Offeror shall propose on both the base and option periods. However, the Government reserves the right to award the base period only. Offeror must also have an active DUNS Code (Dunn and Bradstreet - http://www.dnb.com/us/) and be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM - https://www.sam.gov). Interested vendors can access the provisions and clauses by Internet URL (http://farsite.hill.af.mil). BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: Award will be made to the offeror proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub factors described below. This acquisition is based on "best value" source selection using full tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, and FAR 15.101-1, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an integrated assessment of Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Cost/Price. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and subfactors to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Air Force the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the technical and/or overall business approach and/or past performance of the higher price offeror outweighs the cost difference. The SSA will base the source selection decision on an integrated assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation (described below). While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. Best value means that the Government will perform a cost/technical trade-off analysis such that the proposals will be assessed for how well the Offeror's proposal meets the solicitation requirements and the risks associated with the Offeror's approach. Business judgment will be exercised in selecting the most advantageous alternative to the Government, considering both the technical merit and costs of proposals. By submission of its offer, the Offeror accepts all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations, and certifications, and technical requirements. The Evaluation Factors are listed in descending order of importance with Factor 1 (Technical Capability) being most important, Factor 2 (Past Performance) of slightly less importance, and Factor 3 (Cost/Price) of least importance. The Technical Capability and Past Performance Factors, when combined, are significantly more important than the cost or price factor; however, the Cost/Price Factor will contribute substantially to the selection decision. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The Government intends to select ONE offeror for award of this effort. As provided for in FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisitions," the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except for clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussion if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. THIS IS THE REQUEST FOR FORMAL COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government exercises its unilateral right to award with or without discussions. As the Government reserves the right to award without discussions, this may be your only opportunity to provide information in support of your proposal. You are advised that any non-concurrence to contract terms and conditions, contract attachments or required supporting information in your proposal may not be subject to discussion or negotiation, may be interpreted as a conditional offer, and may result in your proposal being considered unacceptable. The anticipated award date is July 2013. You are also required to state that your proposal may be accepted at any time until 90 calendar days from the due date of the proposals. To be eligible for award, contractors must be properly registered in the Governments Central Contractor Registration database (CCR).
