- Description
- Synopsis: I. NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. If the Government decides to award a contract for this or related effort, a solicitation will be published and posted on the FedBizOpps website. There is no solicitation available at this time. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation, Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government's acquisition approach. Requests for solicitation will receive no response. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this synopsis nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. The Air Force has not yet determined the acquisition strategy for this requirement, including whether a set-aside strategy is applicable. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small business concerns. The Government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable, and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, the responses shall detail: (1) Scope of the experience; (2) Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements, which should be clearly delineated, indicating previous experience in teaming, particularly with proposed teammates, and (3) Whether it was in support of a Government or commercial contract. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated. Interested contractors will clearly explain how they intend to meet the stated requirements via teaming/subcontracting while maximizing opportunities for small business participation in accordance with FAR Part 19. Previous experience in teaming must be provided. Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Interested sources that possess the capabilities of obtaining the required technical and engineering data and analysis must have performed complex electro-optical, IR/UV based line replaceable unit (LRU) repair in the past. Interested sources must maintain facilities and cleared personnel for handling, storing, and maintaining information and operating systems with security classifications up to and including Secret. II. PURPOSE: The Aircraft Survivability (WLY) Program Office, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, has interest and is seeking external sources with demonstrated expertise in repair of complex electro-optical and IR/UV based line replaceable units (LRUs) for a repair support contract.
