Purpose: This RFI is issued to accomplish the following: (a) Seek feedback from offerors as to whether the methodology shown herein will enable submission of competitive proposals on Pre-priced Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for this effort; and (b) If industry determines that it is unable to competitively propose Pre-priced FFP CLINs, then provide a methodology for the Government's consideration. Overall Mission: This scope will be focused on day-to-day Command Operations that are critical functions to SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic's mission success. Functions will include Program Management, Accounts Management Services Support, Command Security Services Support, Command Information Technology Support Services, Organizational Support Services and Corporate Operational Analytics Support Services. Mission Strategic Vision: The Government is seeking a five-year effort for new Corporate Operations services. The Government needs a more agile and responsive service contract to enable flexibility to support changes, without the necessity of contract or task order modifications. To accomplish this, the Government envisions a single award contract. The intention of this effort is to enable a single contractor the flexibility to manage the entirety of the PWS, and provide surge capability that will support the Government's full needs and mission objectives. Section 1: Contract Type and CLIN Methodology: In support of the Mission Strategic Vision, the Government intends to pre-price via FFP CLINs 90% of this effort at the basic contract level. The Government would like offerors to review Attachments A through C. Attachment A provides an example of the CLIN methodology. Attachment B is the alternate methodology template, to allow offerors to submit their own response. Attachment C is the Technical Exhibit 1, which shows the performance objectives for work to be performed. The remaining 10% of this effort will be on a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) CLIN at the basic contract level. This will result in CPFF task orders, which will be individually negotiated. Work under the CPFF CLIN, is for any work unable to be identified at this time, which would include advanced analytical services. Performance Work Statement and Performance Thresholds: As part of this more agile contracting method, the Government has provided Technical Exhibit 1 (attachment C) of the PWS for review with this RFI. The Technical Exhibit 1 will also reference Performance Thresholds, which will define the expected level of performance for each area identified. Section 2: Potential Methodologies: The example below is the current strategy the Government is considering. Attachment A is provided to showcase an example Price/Cost Attachment under methodology one. Based on the methodology provided below, the Government seeks industry feedback to determine if the methodology will enable industry to accurately price the effort with maximum flexibility to effectively manage performance, schedule and cost areas. If industry finds that the strategy is not sufficient, methodology two (Attachment B) allows industry to submit their own methodology for consideration. Methodology One: FFP Portion: (PWS 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5) The Pricing Model will reference FFP CLINs for a period of performance (POP) of one year each (12 Months). The FFP CLIN structure will encompass PWS Paragraphs 3.1 through 3.5 (90% of the effort) on individual CLINS for each portion of the work. There will be one catch all CLIN for task orders on the FFP basis which will have an established ceiling value for the Level Of Effort, which cannot be identified at this time. However, the Government will provide historical information on services required in the past, to help establish a ceiling value when the Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued (not at this time). Contractors will propose fixed price CLINs for this work on a 12-month basis. CPFF Portion: (PWS 3.6) The CPFF CLIN will reference PWS paragraph 3.6 (10% of the effort). Contractors will propose rates for the SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic standard labor categories, to be evaluated in accordance with RFP. Please see Methodology one in Attachment A. Methodology Two: Please see Methodology two in Attachment B for submitting your response and page limitations. RFI EVALUATION: 1. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. This is not a solicitation announcement.
