- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Benning, Georgia is issuing a sources sought to determine the availability of potential small businesses. This is not a request for proposals or quotes. The information gathered will be used to make an informed business decision on how to procure this requirement. The Government is seeking business firms capable of providing professional services to support, update, and modify as necessary the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) mobile computer program. This is used to collect field data for the management and monitoring of the RCW at Fort Benning, Georgia. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Sources Sought is to seek interested Small Business firms in order to reaffirm the initial research that it may be possible to set-aside for Small Business concerns. The preferred strategy is to procure this requirement as 100% small business set aside. The Government will not award a contract based on this Sources Sought Notice, information received, not reimburse participants for information they provide. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL OR COST PROPOSALS. This is a request for small business firms interested in serving as prime contractors to submit a brief capability statement demonstrating how they could meet the requirements below: DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: This requirement has a Statement of Work Statement (SOW) stating the required services in terms and outcomes to be achieved. Services are required in order to comply with the Endangered Species Act. The activity provided the following description: Since the computer program and its source code are proprietary to Intergraph Corporation, permission would have to be granted to work on the current system. Continuity of the data collection software is also critical for maintaining all RCW data bases from which all biological analyses involving RCWs are based, in addition to retrieval of all data that are used for regulatory reporting. Data collection requirements must be met in order to maintain US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS - the regulatory agency) compliance obligations to manage and monitor the RCW on the Installation. Fort Benning is currently operating under three Biological Opinions (BO) that were issued for projects that impact RCWs; 2002 BO for the Endangered Species Management Plan, 2004 BO for the Digital Multi-Purpose Range Complex, and the 2009 Jeopardy BO for Maneuver Center of Excellence. The conditions of these BOs required implementation of several non-discretionary monitoring plans of which mandate the collection of many different data including management and demographics on the RCW. If these conditions are not met, Fort Benning risks violation of these non-discretionary BOs, which would require re-initiation of Formal Consultation with the USFWS, possibly delaying on-going implementation of Army actions and would likely have significant impacts to military training. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. All responses must provide the following: 1. Name of firm with address, phone, email and point of contact, CAGE Code and DUNS 2. Business Size and state if your firm is classified by the Small Business Administration under the NAICS code 541511, 3. Capability Statement 4.
