- Description
- General Questions Minimum salient characteristics. Sources Sought / RFI THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. 1. The purpose of this RFI is two-fold. First this RFI is issued to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. Secondly, this RFI announces plans to conduct a Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Industry Day on Friday, April 15, 2016 in Colorado Springs, CO. 2. This RFI should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than to gain the information requested for market research. The Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondees are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any potential future RFP. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) website ( www.fbo.gov ). It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research, a continuous process for collecting and analyzing information about capabilities within the market to satisfy agency needs. The acquisition strategy has not yet been determined and market research results will assist the Air Force in determining the direction any acquisition will take. 3. The US Air Force needs commercial SSA data for operational use. SSA data must originate from non-DoD sensors and be real-time. See attached for minimum salient characteristics. 4. A SSA Industry Day is scheduled for Friday, April 15, 2016 in Colorado Springs, CO. The briefing will be up to Top Secret. Attendees will receive a classified mission brief and have an opportunity to provide a one-on-one briefing with the Government on how their commercial solution may meet Government classified requirements. Invitations to the SSA Industry Day will be limited to interested parties whose sources sought response meets the minimum salient characteristics identified in paragraph 3. Potential participants will receive an invitation on April 8, 2016. Invited participants will be allowed the opportunity to submit a capabilities presentation limited to 30 minutes with a 20-minute question and answer period. Location: Colorado Springs, CO.; Full address will be provided after registration. Timeline: Space Situational Awareness Day is planned for Friday, April 15, 2016. 5. Responses to sources sought must be submitted by April 6, 2016 8:00 am MST to Ms. Susan Ulma, susan.ulma@us.af.mil, 719-567-3451 and Mr. Tommie Rogers, tommie.rogers.1@us.af.mil, 719-567-2306. 6. Classified Industry Day: Registration for on-site participants will be conducted in advance by invitation only. Due to space constraints seating is limited to a maximum of three (3) participants per company. Late registrations and "walk-in" requests will not be permitted. Attendees must present a current government photo identification and have a Top Secret clearance. 7. Questions may be submitted in response to this RFI. Any questions regarding this RFI must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist identified in paragraph 5. Answers will be provided via an amendment to the RFI and posted on FedBizOpps.gov. Answers may also be provided to attendees at the SSA Industry Day. Please note that the Government is not required to answer all questions and may exercise discretion in the selection of questions to answer. The AF will not attribute the questions to the submitting responder. Recommendations or comments on the RFI-supporting documentation or the Program will be reviewed by the Government, but will not be published on FedBizOpps.gov nor provided to any responder.
