- Description
- The Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate of the Chemical Materials Activity has the mission responsibility, as mandated by Public Law 102-484, for the disposal of all applicable chemical warfare materiel in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner. In support of this mission, the Chemical Demilitarization Training Facility (CDTF), as a Government-owned, contractor-operated facility, has been established, operated, and maintained since 1989 through present at Edgewood, MD. This CDTF support includes providing logistics support, facility operations services, and technical training, as required by its statement of work (SOW). To continue this support for September 2015 through September 2020, draft solicitation W52P1J-14-R-0128 will be issued containing the following objectives, divided broadly into three areas: -First, provide the life cycle logistics support necessary to maintain equipment readiness and support field operations related to RCWM assessment and destruction. -Second, provide training services related to the CMA equipment used for RCWM assessment, transport, and destruction. The training requirements include establishing and/or maintaining a research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) dilute chemical warfare agent laboratory (related to air monitoring equipment training). -Third, provide operational and maintenance support for the CDTF campus and CMA warehouses at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD and Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR The draft solicitation will be issued with its umbrella and task order 0001 SOWs, in accordance with the FAR provision 52.215-3, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes. The primary purposes of the draft solicitation is to conduct market research for identifying interested parties and to solicit industry's comments to the Government's acquisition strategy for obtaining the continuation of the CDTF support. The draft solicitation is anticipated to be issued, via the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE), on or after 6 June 2014; no further notice will be provided by the government on its issuance. As such, interested parties are responsible for obtaining the draft solicitation issued via the GPE. A one-day pre-solicitation conference is scheduled to be held at the CDTF on 1 July 2014, commencing at 0800ET, in the Conference Room A of Building E-4516 at the South Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground (Edgewood Area). In addition, a tour of the CDTF will be conducted by Government personnel; contractor attendance shall be limited to four persons per interested party. Each interested party shall electronically provide a list of attendees, no later than five days after the issuance of the draft solicitation. After the pre-solicitation conference, all comments and/or questions regarding the draft solicitation shall be electronically submitted by the interested parties, within twenty (20) calendar days, to the below point of contract for the Government's consideration. The Government will provide responses to any industry's comments and/or questions to the draft solicitation via the same electronic means. The current Government acquisition strategy is to issue an unrestricted full and open competitive, best value request for proposal (RFP) that will result in a single source indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract type award, IAW FAR 16.5/DFARS 216.5, with a five-year ordering period covering the CDTF support for FYs 2015-2020. The RFP will contain the basic contract terms, the umbrella SOW, and a master deliverable list along with the first twelve-month period of performance (POP) SOW. Once evaluated and a successful awardee selected, the basic IDIQ contract and task order 0001 will be awarded at the same time; the award of task order 0001 will satisfy the Government's minimum ordering liability, as contained in the basic contract. Due to the nature of the services and the uncertainty of the CDTF support, the primary basic contract type will be for the award of cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders; however, certain task orders, based on their requirements, may be awarded as a firm-fixed-price contract type. When awarded, the CDTF support will primarily be funded with applicable O&M, subject to funding availability. The ordering period is for 5 years, with an option to extend up to 5 more years under the authority of DFARS 217.204(e)(i). The individual POPs, SOWs, and their corresponding task orders within this ordering period will be negotiated with the contractor; these negotiations will primarily be one-year periods of performance. The Government intends to make one award for the requirements outlined in the draft solicitation. The Government will determine which offeror can best accomplish the requirements set forth in this solicitation. In making this determination, the Government will conduct an integrated assessment to determine the best value to the Government using the criteria outlined in this document. Award will be made to the offeror, whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering the evaluation criteria and the requirements of the solicitation. Consequently, integration of the technical/management area, the performance risk assessment, and small business utilization evaluation with the total evaluated price could result in award to an offeror other than that with the lowest price/estimated cost. However, the Government reserves the right to make no award as a result of the solicitation if, upon evaluation, none of the proposals are deemed likely to meet the technical/management requirements at an acceptable level of risk and/or cost. Award is projected on or before 24 September 2015. The Government will solicit and evaluate proposals in accordance with the procedures in Section L, Instructions for Offerors, and Section M, Basis of Award, of the solicitation. Offerors will respond to the solicitation with a stand-alone proposal, including four volumes: (1) technical/management, (2) past performance, (3) cost/price information, and (4) small business utilization. The Government is currently planning on issuing the formal RFP in the October 2014 timeframe. Once an issuance date has been determined, the actual date will be published as a synopsis in the GPE. The point of contract for this solicitation is Mr. Kevan Woodin, Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, Chemical Demilitarization Division, Rock Island, IL. His phone number is 309-782-3961; his email is kevan.m.woodin.civ@mail.mil.
