- ***DO NOT SEND A COMPLETED VERSION OF THE PDF TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW. ALL SURVEYS MUST BE COMPLETED VIA SURVEYMONKEY. *** 1. DESCRIPTION The United States Air Force (USAF) Air Force Installation Contracting Agency (AFICA), 771st Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, Knowledge Based Services Commodity Council (KBSCC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, Ohio, issues this Request for Information (RFI) regarding a potential future solicitation for Temporary Help Services. The future solicitation strategy may provide an Air Force-wide solution using Temporary Help Services throughout the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii). In accordance with FAR 52.215-3, this RFI does not constitute, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation, Request for Proposal, Request for Quotation, Invitation for Bid, or any other commitment by the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI, nor will the Government provide compensation for providing information. There is no solicitation available at this time; requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. Responses are not offers and the Government is not under any obligation to award a contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. If the Government decides to establish a contract for Temporary Help Services, it will issue a Request for Proposal at a later date. Please monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website ( www.fbo.gov ) for future information regarding this potential requirement. Respondents are also advised that submitting any information provides the Government express permission for the Government to use the data, pictures, and other information contained in the submittals for Government purposes. All information received in response to this RFI marked as "proprietary" will be handled accordingly. Information provided as a response to this RFI will not be returned. The Government highly encourages all interested parties to provide a complete and thorough response to this RFI. However, not responding will not preclude participation should a solicitation be released. The Government requests companies which are not primarily Temporary Help Service Firms to abstain from providing responses to this RFI. In accordance with 5 CFR 300.501, a Temporary Help Service Firm is a private sector entity which quickly provides other organizations with specific services performed by its pool of employees, possessing the appropriate work skills, for brief or intermittent periods. The firm is the legally responsible employer and maintains that relationship during the time its employees are assigned to a client. The firm, not the client organization, recruits, tests, hires, trains, assigns, pays, provides benefits and leave to, and as necessary, addresses performance problems, disciplines, and terminates its employees. Among other employer obligations, the firm is responsible for payroll deductions and payment of income taxes, social security (FICA), unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation, and shall provide required liability insurance and bonding. 2. PURPOSE The purpose of publicizing this RFI notice is to aid in the development of the potential AFICA Temporary Help Services acquisition strategy, increase competition to broaden industry participation in meeting Government requirements, and gather information for planning purposes about the Temporary Help Services market or capabilities as defined in FAR 15.201(e). We seek large and small business respondents who are currently conducting business or providing similar services. The input will assist in determining the interest, capability, and capacity of all potential offers. A review of available North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) codes suggests the potential classification code of 561320. The Small Business Administration (SBA) has established a small business size standard of $27,500,000 (based on a 3-year average of annual receipts). 3. MARKET RESEARCH SURVEY The basis for this RFI is a survey located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TXTXLPT. The survey is also attached as a PDF document for your review if you would prefer to see the entire survey prior to answering the online version. Do not submit the PDF document in response to this RFI. The survey will be available until 1 December 2014. In order to ensure the Government is receiving the most reliable, useful, and relevant information regarding the Temporary Help Services industry, the Government requests that only companies that are primarily Temporary Help Service Firms respond to the survey. If you are unable to complete the survey in one sitting, you will need to close the survey window and re-open the survey link to edit your response. The survey will start from the beginning, but will show the responses you have previously provided. This only works if returning to the survey from the original computer used when you began filling out the survey. All responses are collected based on IP addresses; only one response per IP address is permitted. If you are having any questions or issues with the survey, please email KBServices.CC@us.af.mil for assistance. 4. EVALUATION Responses will not be evaluated, but are for the purpose of gathering information to help refine our requirements and acquisition strategy. Following your response to this survey, USAF representatives may choose to engage in additional communications with selected respondents. Such communications would only be intended to support USAF market research by obtaining further clarification of the capabilities of the industry to meet requirements.
