- SOLICITATION F3QCCL8054A002 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) as a Request for Quote (RFQ) No. F3QCCL8054A002. This requirement is sole source to Mercer Engineering Res Ctr. SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD •(a) NAICS: 541990 •(b) No. of Employees: •(c) Dollars: $15,000,000 REQUIREMENT: CLIN 0001 AA: 1 LO technical study services (SWOT & PESTLE analysis) Quotes should reflect pricing for FOB Destination (Robins AFB, GA 31098) and include the cage code, DUNS and taxpayer ID number. The period of performance is 09 April 2018 - 20 Jul 2018. Quotations should be emailed to 2Lt Christine De Jesus (christine.de_jesus.1@us.af.mil) no later than Friday, 16 March 2018, 5:00 pm EST. The anticipated award date is 06 April 2018. Please do not request award status prior to this date. Manufacturer: Mercer Engineering Res Ctr. Justification for Sole Source Only: AS9100 Revision D, certification is required by WR-ALC OI 63-501, Quality Management Manual, and many public-private partnership agreements with aerospace manufacturers. To maintain the WRALC AS9100 Revision D certification, WR-ALC must fulfill the requirements of clause 4.1, the context of the organization. The requirement must be met no later than July 2018, that is, prior to our recertification audit (scheduled for August 2018) to allow our maintenance groups time to prepare the workforce and address any issues. Context of the organization is determined through standard business analyses. MERC engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, logisticians, and scientists provide support defined by the Robins mission partners as essential engineering and research and development skills. MERC has 30+ years experience with Robins AFB Depot Maintenance. Their knowledge and familiarity with Robins AFB allows MERC to immediately step in and perform all the required analysis services. A few of their recent applicable contracts were FA8530-17-D-0001, FA8509-12-G-0001 and FA8501-17-C-0012. If another company was brought in then it would take a minimum of 6 months to get that company up to speed with our requirements and understanding of the complex. In September 2017, the particular requirement from AS9100 was newly added in Rev D and not known. This procurement must be awarded and completed prior to July 2018 to ensure that the August 2018 recertification audit does not result in adverse action against WR-ALC's certificate. Any adverse action could lead to a lapse in certification, which could jeopardize public-private partnership agreements. Many large companies like Boeing, Northrop Grumman and L3 require Robins AFB to be AS9100 certified. If this contract is not awarded before the audit it will be a major finding and Robins AFB will lose its accredidation. Robins AFB would then lose around $300M in workload from these major companies. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2), as implemented by FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, Mercer University is the only company capable of performing these services quickly (interviews, charts and analysis) before the August audit and losing a large financial workload The following clauses are applicable to subject solicitation.
