- DRAFT PWS RFI details and Questionnaire Request for Information in support of the F-35 Joint Program Office Security Knowledge Based Services INTRODUCTION and OVERVIEW THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY. This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) is requesting information pertaining to Security Knowledge Based Services support for the F-35 Lighting II JPO and associated Air Systems. The F-35 JPO, in conjunction with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, is releasing a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS), Attachment 1, as part of an RFI to identify interested parties and solicit comments to improve the quality and clarity of the requirements for security support services. The Government's intent is to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) which will result in a single award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract consisting of five years, with an anticipated minimum of three task orders with varying periods of performance. The F-35 JPO requires security support to be provided to the Directorates, Functional and Integrated Product Teams which reside within the F-35 JPO and consist of - but not limited to - Systems Engineering, Contracting, Security, Legal, Business Financial Management, Logistics, Information Technology, Program Management, International, Development, Production, Sustainment, Program Control, Air Vehicle, Mission Systems, Propulsion, Autonomous Logistics Information System, and Logistics & Support Products. The specific security tasks are outlined in the Draft PWS, Attachment 1. The Government anticipates the RFP will be released under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 561210, Facilities Support Service. Under this classification, small business is identified as a business having less than $38.5 million dollars in annual receipts. Personnel and facility security requirements are included in the attached PWS. Any resulting solicitation related to this RFI will officially be released via the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps). RFI RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS Complete the attached questionnaire to provide the requested information (no substitutions, additions, or deletions).

Do not submit any documents (letters, corporate statements, or marketing information) other than the completed questionnaire and any comments on the response topics. The Government may elect not to discuss submissions received in response to this RFI with individual responders. There is no requirement to respond to the RFI to be eligible to propose on the planned RFP. However, the Government places great value on the information received and may utilize it to finalize its acquisition strategy.
