PICE SYSTEMS AND SUBSYSTEMS - ACQUISITION HISTORY This procurement was previously synopsized in the Seaport-e portal to all eligible Zone 2 business firms in November 2012. Capability statements were requested via the Seaport-e portal from all Zone 2, large and small businesses interested in the procurement in November 2012. An Industry Day was conducted on 13 November 2012 at Webster Field, St. Inigoes where information concerning the requirements was presented. Attendance at the Industry Day was not a requirement and in no way affects any company from submitting a response to this Sources Sought notice and/or a proposal in response to any forthcoming solicitation. Information provided at the Industry day included a power point presentation and a tour of a local on-base integration facility. A list of attendees, questions received (1) and the response provided is available for review in this notice. The information is outdated, may be inaccurate and should not be utilized for planning/preparation purposes. The Government uploaded a draft RFP (N00024-13-R-3028) including a draft copy of Exhibit A - CDRLs and Attachment 3 - OCI List into the Seaport-e portal in June 2013 and requested feedback/comments from Industry. 17 questions were received and the Government provided responses to the questions. A copy of the draft RFP along with the questions and answers that were posted in the Seaport-e portal are available for review in this notice. The information is outdated, may be inaccurate and should not be utilized for planning/preparation purposes. The Government uploaded an updated draft RFP (N00024-13-R-3028) including attachments into the Seaport-e portal in April 2014 and requested feedback/comments from Industry. 12 questions were received to which the Government did not provide responses. A copy of the draft RFP, attachments and questions that were posted in the Seaport-e portal are available for review in this notice. The information is outdated, may be inaccurate and should not be utilized for planning/preparation purposes. The Government's acquisition strategy has changed and now the Government intends to procure these services outside of Seaport-e and is interested in determining if any additional small or large businesses are interested in the PICE Systems and Subsystems procurement. All large and small businesses that are interested should send in a capability statement. OFFERORS WHO PREVIOUSLY RESPONDED NEED NOT RESPOND. This Sources Sought is a market research tool and the results will be used to determine potential sources. The Government anticipates and estimates a contract award for these services to occur in calendar year 2015.
