Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only. This market research will be used to help determine if this may be a competitive acquisition, or if a set-aside for any small business program is appropriate (Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVO), and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned (EDWO) small businesses). Please review this announcement, including all attachments, in its entirety. The Operational Contracting Branch, Technology Support Acquisition Section (AFLCMC/PZIOAA) is seeking potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to provide Security System Maintenance for the 711th Human Performance Wing (HPW) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.

Please indicate if you are the manufacturer or provide the name and size of the manufacturer of the product(s) you will be supplying/maintaining. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort.

If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, please complete and return the Contractor Capability Survey below. Response format and due date information is specified at the bottom portion of this notice. Failure to provide a complete response may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.) 3. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. Questions relative to this market survey should be addressed via email to Ms. Laura Caravantes, AFLCMC/PZIOA, at laura.caravantes@us.af.mil.

Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of providing at least 50% of the entire scope of the Security System Maintenance, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. Attention All potential respondents: If this acquisition is not set aside for small business, it is anticipated that the contract may contain a small business utilization requirement. Please provide feedback on what areas of this requirement are likely candidates for small business subcontracting. Part II. Capability Survey Questions: 1. Name of country where the parts used during maintenance are manufactured. 2. Describe briefly the capabilities of your facility and the nature of the services you provide.
