The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Contracts Department (AIR 2.5.1.3), Patuxent River, MD is posting this Sources Sought to determine the interest in this requirement and determine if that interest warrants a full and open competition or a set-aside for support to NAWCAD Integrated Communications and Information Systems (ICIS) (4.11.3), for the Multi-Mission Data Link Systems (MMDLS) Engineering and Logistics Support. The requirement will provide and assist the ICIS Division with technical support for modifications, systems engineering, technical support, quality management, technical management, logistics management, and the incidental materials associated with the MMDLS. This procurement was previously synopsized in the Seaport-e portal to all eligible Zone 2 business firms in May 2013. Capability statements were requested via the Seaport-e portal from all Zone 2, large and small businesses interested in the procurement. NAWCAD hosted an industry day providing a presentation explaining the technical nature of the requirement and a tour of the systems that will be covered under this effort at Webster Field, St. Inigoes on 5 June 2013. Information provided at the Industry day included a PowerPoint presentation and a tour of a local on-base facility. A list of attendees and the PowerPoint presentation provided is available for review in this notice. Questions received in the Seaport-e portal and the responses are also available for review in this notice. The information could be outdated or may be inaccurate, and should not be utilized for planning/preparation purposes. The Government does not intend to host another industry day. 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 MMDLS 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 attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW) and Draft Level of Effort (LOE) provide additional information about the required tasking. If your company has any questions about the structure of the SOW, or areas that may need further definition, please also identify those in the response. Since the resultant contract will be a cost-type effort, the successful awardee will also be required to have a Government approved accounting system upon contract award. The results of the Sources Sought will be utilized to determine if any Small Business Set-Aside opportunities exist. All Small Business Set-Aside categories will be considered. This Sources Sought will also be utilized to identify that adequate competition exists among large businesses if this is not a Small Business Set-Aside. The Government anticipates and estimates a contract award for these services to occur in 3 rd Quarter FY 2015.
