This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal (RFP), request for quote, invitation for bid, nor does it in any way restrict the Government to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by the contractor in response to this synopsis, and therefore, will not compensate any contractor for work performed in response to this synopsis. The 766th Specialized Contracting Squadron is conducting market research to determine potential sources for Audio Visual Support Services for Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS) located in Honolulu Hawaii. The current contract providing these services expires February 2014 and APCSS requires follow-on Audio Visual support in preparation for evaluations of conferences, workshops, courses and events offered by APCSS. APCSS provides a focal point where national officials, decision makers, and policy makers can gather to exchange ideas, explore pressing issues and achieve a greater understanding of the challenges that shape the security environment of the Asia-Pacific region. The Audio Visual Support Services includes graphic arts, audiovisual, Video Teleconferencing (VTC) services, and information technology services to include systems/network management and seminar room support (help desk) and technical support services as specified in the attached drafted Performance Work Statement (PWS). The RFI encompasses continued audiovisual support for APCSS, necessary to sustain their mission. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract for Audio Visual Support Services. The period of performance for each year is up to 12 months for contract award and the contract will cover a base year and one option year. This announcement requests statements of Capabilities outlining specific relevant experience and/or approach, as appropriate in satisfying the drafted performance work statement.
