This announcement is not a contract, request for proposal, a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government. The Navy will not assume liability for costs incurred by an attendee or for travel expenses or marketing efforts; therefore, attendee cost in response to this notice is not considered an allowable direct charge to the Government. ELIGIBILITY This requirement will be awarded as a Task Order under the SeaPort-e Multiple Award Contract; therefore, all potential Offerors and their Subcontractors must be registered within SeaPort-e before award. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 541330 with a current size standard of $38.5M. The Product Service Code (PSC) is H217. PROGRAM INFORMATION: The Support Equipment Test and Evaluation Branch (AIR-4.8.6.11) is responsible for technical performance and suitability assessments for SE that is used to support aircraft, systems, weapons and maintenance activities. The Branch functions within the NAWCAD Competency Aligned Organization under the auspices of the 4.0 Research and Engineering Competency, SE & Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Department and the SE Engineering Division. Primarily, the SE Test and Evaluation Branch works in conjunction with Integrated Program Teams (IPTs), Externally Directed Teams, Enterprise Teams, and Integrated Test Teams that are involved in numerous Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Programs. In accomplishing its mission, the SE Test & Evaluation Branch conducts SE testing and participates in SE systems engineering, analysis, development, integration, fleet introduction and in-service engineering evolutions. This entails providing support during developer/manufacturer reviews and testing events; and conducting Test & Evaluation and Fleet Evaluation at NAWCAD Patuxent River, MD and Navy/Marine shipboard and shore-based sites. The scope of this requirement is to provide uninterrupted technical support services to the SE test and Evaluation Branch. The contractor shall be required to work in a highly integrated team environment with civil service, military, and other contractor personnel. Tasking includes SE Test Technology design and integration; test and evaluation; laboratories and facilities operation and maintenance; IPT engineering and technical assistance; and program management and administrative support. To provide support in these diverse areas, the SE Test & Evaluation Branch complements its civil service staff with highly qualified and experienced engineering, technical, administrative, and program management Contractor Support Services. The multi-disciplined skills of these personnel are integrated and shared across multiple SE support areas, laboratories, and facilities, which requires the potential contractor to generate efficiency and continuity among inter-related tasks. Through these coordinated efforts, SE Test and Evaluation Branch, program sponsors, and the Fleet are assured state-of-the-art SE that is compatible with legacy and next-generation aircraft, weapons, and systems. The requirement for these services is currently being performed under Task Order N00178-05-D-4304-M807, awarded to Eagle Systems, Inc. The NAVAIR Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) website is http://foia.navair.navy.mil. GENERAL INFORMATION: This effort will contain a base year and four option periods. The anticipated Period of Performance will be 13 May 2015 to 12 May 2020. The estimated total level of effort is approximately 371,985 man-hours per year. Refer to Section C: Statement of Work (SOW) for detailed information pertaining to the Labor Categories and qualifications under this requirement. Finally, as this is an unrestricted competition, it is noted that the Small Business (SB) subcontracting goal for each of the SeaPort-e contracts is 20% and is calculated at the contract level. However, for purposes of this Task Order, the requiring activity believes that a SB subcontracting goal of 20% is achievable, based on the market research conducted.

Since the resultant contract will be a cost-type, the successful awardee will also be required to have a Government approved accounting system upon contract award. The Task Order technical requirements are outlined in Section C: Statement of Work and the deliverables are contained in Section J: Attachments. Additionally, this effort is subject to the Service Contract Act of 1965 (SCA) (41 U.S.C.6701 (3)), therefore, this draft RFP includes FAR 52.222-41 Service Contract Labor Standards, FAR 52.222-42: Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires and FAR 52.217-22: Non-Displacement of Qualified Workers.
