Description
Draft Request for Proposal, Attachments, and Appendices The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), Strategic Sourcing Acquisition Division (SSAD), located in Silver Spring, MD, intends to issue a solicitation for systems integration services in support of NOAA's Research and Development High Performance Computing and Communications (R&D HPCC) infrastructure. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is posted in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 5.204. This pre-solicitation announcement is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a final Request for Proposals (RFP) or a promise to issue a final RFP in the future. NOAA is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract, nor does it obligate the Government to pay and/or reimburse respondents and/or their associates for any cost incurred to submit the requested information and/or proposal. Responses to this notice will not be returned. Not responding to this announcement does not preclude participation in any future solicitation. NOAA anticipates issuing the solicitation as a full-and-open competition under FAR Part 15 procedures. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541512 - Computer Systems Design Services, with a corresponding Small Business size standard of $27.5 million. The Product Service Code (PSC) for this acquisition is D318 - IT and Telecom - Integrated Hardware/Software/Services Solutions, Predominately Services. (See Notes #1 and #2 below for background details regarding the current contract and acquisition history.) The Government is requesting all interested vendors to thoroughly review this Pre-Solicitation notice, and submit questions regarding the draft RFP using Attachment 8 "Draft RFP Question and Comment Template," by electronic mail ONLY to berchan.torrejon@noaa.gov and claudia.womble@noaa.gov, with the number ST-133R-17-RP-0057 in the subject line. Questions shall be submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on September 12, 2017. Responses to the questions and comments will be posted on the FBO website. A draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Research & Development High Performance Computing and Communications (R&D HPCC) Systems Integration Services is provided for review. This draft RFP is anticipated to be similar to the final RFP that is expected to be posted on or about mid to late October 2017. Any further updates to the draft RFP will be issued as an amendment to this notice. A due date for additional questions may be provided in the final version of the RFP. The Government anticipates awarding the resultant contract on the basis of initial offers. The Government will not provide paper copies of the solicitation or any associated documents. Solicitation documents will be made available only through https://www.fbo.gov IAW FAR 5.102. NOAA anticipates hosting an Industry Day in Silver Spring, MD in support of the final solicitation release. The specific date and location for the Industry Day will be posted on https://www.fbo.gov as a "Special Notice" on or around the time when the Final Solicitation is posted. Interested vendors are responsible for visiting https://www.fbo.gov periodically for any changes or updates to this notice, as well as any notice of a future solicitation. All prospective offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award (https://www.sam.gov) IAW FAR 4.1102. -Note #1: NOAA currently receives R&D HPCC systems integration services through Contract No. DG1330-10-CQ-0014 with CSRA, LLC. The current contract period expires May 06, 2018, with an additional one (1) year transition option available for support from May 07, 2018 - May 06, 2019. Similar to the anticipated follow-on contract, the current contract is a single-award IDIQ with FFP and T&M task and delivery ordering capabilities. -Note #2: In Spring 2016, on the basis of Market Research, NOAA engaged vendors in the HPC industry to obtain feedback concerning the prospect of combining NOAA's follow-on R&D HPCC and operational HPCC acquisition requirements into a single contracting vehicle. Historically, NOAA has issued separate contracts to support these programs. NOAA hereby advises that a combined acquisition approach, wherein the R&D HPCC Program and the Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) Program are supported through one (1) contract vehicle, WILL NOT be pursued at this time. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the R&D HPCC Program and the WCOSS Program will be supported via separate contracts for their respective follow-on efforts.
