- Description
- PWS draft SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS THIS IS A Sources Sought Notice ONLY. The U.S. Government desires to procure the Support Base Services (SBS) on a small business set-aside basis, provided sufficient qualified small businesses respond to this sources sought synopsis with information sufficient to support a set-aside. Be advised that the U.S. Government will not be able to set aside this requirement if sufficient small businesses do not respond with information to support the set-aside. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. It is a market research tool (FAR Part 10) being used to determine potential firms capable of providing the services described herein prior to determining the method of acquisition and if this requirement can be set-aside to any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3). It is also a tool to elicit feedback on the requirement as detailed in the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS). Feedback is encouraged and appreciated. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this sources sought notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ or IFB or RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Government-wide Point of Entry. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the Government-wide Point of Entry for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The anticipated NAICS code(s) is: 561210, Facilities Support Services, with the Small Business size standard of $38.5M. BACKGROUND: IMCOM requires a prime contractor(s) with the capability to manage multiple task simultaneously within Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The contractor must also be capable of recruiting and providing a team of highly qualified personnel that will be able to handle mobilization, deployment, redeployment and demobilization mission requirements. Often, these requirements are very fluid, dynamic and can vary by installation. The requirements can develop with little warning and in unexpected volumes. The contractor must be able to respond to unexpected surge requirements with adequate numbers of qualified employees, even when the workload volume is at levels not seen before and with very little advance notice. Services are required to support approximately 200 mobilizing/demobilizing (MOB/DEMOB) Soldiers at any one time, mobilization/demobilization container support operations; compliance programs associated with maintaining Secondary Mobilization Force Generation Installations (SMFGI) capability, and the installation staff support services detailed in this PWS. The general requirement standards are listed in paragraph 1.3. (Objectives) and are broken down into areas specific to the needs of Fort Bragg, NC in Part 5. Task Areas covered in this performance work statement (PWS) are as follows: Task Area 1: Plans Task Area 2: Training Task Area 3: Mobilization Task Area 4: Security Task Area 5: Human Resources Task Area 6: Reserved Task Area 7: Material Management and Supply Task Area 8: Services Task Area 9: Movement Task Area 10: Equipment Readiness and Maintenance Task Area 11: Billeting and Facilities Task Area 12: Reserved SUBMITTAL INFORMATION: Responses to this announcement must be received no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 8 August 2017. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Interested business concerns should provide a brief "capabilities statement" package (no page limit pages in length, single spaced, and 12 point font minimum) demonstrating ability to perform the services. A generic capability statement is not acceptable. No particular layout or format is mandated. It is preferred that your firm submits its response in Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, or a combination of both and the document must be searchable. The capability statement package shall be sent by email to the following individual: Mrs. Agnes Choate (agnes.f.choate.civ@mail.mil) Your email subject line should reflect: "(Firm's Name), Response to the Sources Sought Synopsis for the SBS, W91247-18-T-SBS2". The size limit of each email, with all attachments, cannot exceed 9 megabytes (MB) due to the Government's email system restrictions. DO NOT SEND ZIPPED FILES. The Government's information network will remove zipped files. If your firm must send two or more emails in order to prevent exceeding the 9 MB restriction, please label each email with: "(Firm's Name) Information and Comments for W91247-18-T-SBS2- Email # 1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc.". In response to this sources sought, provide a response to each of the following questions: 1. Name of the firm, point of contact, phone number, email address, DUNS number, CAGE code, a statement regarding small business status (including small business type(s)/certifications(s) such as SDB, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.) and the corresponding NAICS code. 2. Would an Industry Day Forum for this requirement be beneficial (Why or why not)? If an Industry Day were to be held, how many personnel from your company would you anticipate attending? What topics would you like the Government to discuss? If the Industry Day was held in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, would you still be willing to attend? 3. Identify whether your firm is interested in competing for this requirement as a prime contractor (performing at least 51% of the work) or not. Identify subcontracting, joint ventures or teaming arrangement that will be pursued, if any. 4. What is the minimum and maximum dollar value project on which your firm would routinely consider submitting a proposal? 5. Information in sufficient detail regarding previous experience (indicate whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor), skills on similar requirements (include size, scope, complexity, timeframe, government or commercial), pertinent certifications, etc., that will facilitate making a capability determination. 6. Do you anticipate any new technology(ies) and method(s) that can improve the quality, decrease costs and/or improve efficiency? If yes, what improved approach(s) can be used to provide the services to include significant changes in how the work can be accomplished? 7. Information to help determine if this service is commercially available, including pricing information, basis for the pricing information (e.g., market pricing, catalog pricing), delivery schedules, customary terms and conditions, etc. 8. Identify how the Army can best structure these contract requirements to facilitate competition by and among small business concerns. 9. What is a reasonable phase-in period for a contractor to be fully operational at a new SMFGI site that was activated by the Army? 10. What do you see as the primary risk areas and/or potential issues associated with an acquisition of this type? How do you propose this risk(s) can be mitigated (if any)? 11. Which contract type do you consider most advantageous for this type of requirement (e.g. Cost-type, Firm Fixed-Price (FFP), a combination type contract) and why? Also, if the workload data is insufficient upon release of the RFP, will you submit a proposal with reasonable risk? If not, other than incumbent manning that cannot be provided, what additional data would be required that would assist in your price development? (Please be specific) 12. Provide your input to a source selection method that would provide the best value to the Government. If a full technical/cost/past performance tradeoff is recommended, provide supporting information describing areas where the Government could receive benefit that might relate to an additional expense/cost to the contract. 13. The NAICS code contemplated for this requirement is 561210, Facilities Support Services industry, with a size standard of $38.5M. In your opinion, does this NAICS code fit this requirement? If not, which NAICS code would you suggest and why? 14. Please provide any recommendations to improve the approach/specifications/draft PWS/PRS to acquiring the identified items/services.
