INTRODUCTION The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Contracts Department (AIR 2.5.1.12), Patuxent River, MD announces its intention to procure, on a competitive basis, the services necessary to support the Air Vehicle Test & Evaluation Division (AIR-5.1.6) of the Integrated System Evaluation, Experimentation & Test (ISEET) Department (AIR-5.1) of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). This requirement is a follow-on procurement to task order N00178-04-D-4080-M803 currently being performed by ManTech Systems Engineering Corporation. The existing task order is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Term type. This task order is currently due to expire 26 March 2015; however, the Government will likely extend this contract to prevent a gap in service. ELIGIBILITY The Product Service Code (PSC) for this effort is R425; the applicable NAICS is 541330 Engineering Services with a Small Business Size standard of $38.5 Million. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify their business size in their capabilities statement. Specifically, the Government is evaluating the possibility of establishing this requirement as a Small Business/Other Socio-economic Set-Aside. As such, all eligible SB/SDVOSBs/8(a)/etc in are encouraged to respond. PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Air Vehicle Test & Evaluation Division (AIR-5.1.6) is responsible for test of air vehicles (manned or unmanned), as well as those systems related to and associated with the air vehicle, for example landing systems, weapon systems, in-flight refueling systems, etc. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The anticipated period of performance includes a base period of 12 months and 4 one-year options for a total performance period of 5 years. The anticipated start date is 26 March 2016. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TYPE The contract type is anticipated to be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract or Seaport-e Task Order with Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Term (LOE) CLINs. The total LOE is estimated at 800,840 man-hours (based on 1,920 hours per year) with up to 31,585 overtime man-hours over a period of five years. These services shall be performed on-site (90%) at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD and off-site at the contractor's facility (10%). REQUIREMENTS A Draft SOW (including projected labor categories & personnel qualifications) and Draft projected Level of Effort are attached for review. Please note these documents are subject to change. Feedback from industry is being sought on the SOW, and suggestions/recommendations on CLIN structure for the basic contract award. If your company has any questions about the structure of the SOW, or areas that may need further definition, please also identify those in your response. In addition to the requirements above, please note that under a Small Business Set-Aside, the small business prime must perform at least 50% of the work themselves in terms of cost of performance. Cost of performance includes direct labor costs, overhead that has only direct labor as its base, and the small business' General & Administrative rate multiplied by the labor cost. The small business prime cannot utilize the cost performance of other small businesses it utilizes as subcontractors in calculating its performance to comply with FAR Clause 52.219-14. If your company is a joint venture, please note that Seaport-e does not permit Joint Ventures. As can be seen from the most recent rolling admissions RFP, N00178-14-R-4000, under "Additional Instructions to Offerors" in Section L, paragraph 3.11 states that "proposals submitted by Joint Ventures will not be considered for award." Because Joint Ventures are not permitted for award of basic contracts within Seaport-e, please instead specify that you are a joint venture in your capability statement and state that your preferred contracting method is outside Seaport-e. Joint ventures should also be aware that the cost of performance by both small business concerns is utilized in calculating its performance to comply with FAR 52.219-14. Since at least a portion of the resultant contract will be on a cost-type basis, the successful awardees will also be required to have a Government approved accounting system upon contract award. SUBMITTAL INFORMATION It is requested that interested businesses submit to the contracting office a brief capabilities statement package (no more than 10 pages in length, single spaced, 12 point font minimum) demonstrating ability to perform the services listed in the attached SOW. This documentation must address, at a minimum, the following: 1. What type of work has your company performed in the past in support of the same or similar requirement? 2. Can or has your company managed a task of this nature? If so, please provide details. 3. Can or has your company managed a team of subcontractors before? If so, please cite contracts and teaming arrangement. 4. What specific technical skills does your company possess which ensures capability to perform the tasks? 5. If you are a small business, provide an explanation of your company's ability to perform at least 50% of the tasking described in this SOW for the base period as well as the option periods. 6. Provide a statement including current small/large business status and company profile to include number of employees, annual revenue history, office locations, CAGE code, DUNS number, etc. 7.
