- Description
- Sources Sought Notice FA8204-21-R-CESN 1. Notice: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside.� The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 517919 � All Other Telecommunications, which has a corresponding Size standard of $32.5M.� The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement.� The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns.� The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code.� Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years.� Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. 2. Description: The United States Air Force (USAF) Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) is issuing this�Sources Sought as part of market research to determine if there exist an adequate number of qualified, interested contractors capable of providing the requirement. The Government may use the responses to this Sources Sought for information and planning purposes. Background: Efficient communication between the Department of Energy (DOE)�labs and the Air Force ICBM community is critical for integration efforts for the GBSD Weapon System to be successful and timely. There is currently no capability for the Air Force to share data and have discussions with the labs at the S\\RD level without meeting in person. This restriction increases integration risk and adds additional burden to programs. Obtaining a service connection to the DOE�s Enterprise Secure Network (ESN) on Hill AFB will overcome communications barriers by allowing all parties to have secure video teleconferences and electronically share data at the S\\RD level. Obtaining an ESN connection requires a dedicated, independent internet service connection that is not shared with the AFnet service on the base. The internet service will need to provide sufficient bandwidth to support SVTC�s and other ESN work stations connected to the network. Scope: The contractor shall provide uninterrupted 300Mbps service, a dedicated static IP address for the provided internet service and all communication work shall comply with the 75 ABW/SC Communications & Information Directorate Hill AFB, Utah Telecommunications Installation Criteria for Facility Design and Renovation (TAB K) dated August 2011, the Engineering Technical Letter, (ETL) 02-12: Communications and Information System Criteria for Air Force Facilities dated 27 Jun 2002, and the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) UFC-3-580-01, Telecommunication Building Cabling Systems Planning and Design dated 27 Jun 2007 and UFC3-520-01 Interior Electrical Systems dated 6 Oct 2015.� Statement of Capability: This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government to further evaluate capability briefs, release a competitive solicitation, or award a contract.�� This notice is only seeking potential Prime Contractors, not suppliers of components, materials, software, or services that may be used by a Prime Contractor to deliver this capability. Submission Instructions: Information furnished shall include enough detailed documentation to allow the Government to perform a proper evaluation of the respondent�s ability to meet the requirements as described above. The Government will use any Statements of Capability received in response to this notice to determine if there is sufficient interest in the marketplace from qualified sources. Information herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding on the Government. 3. Disclaimer:� This SSN is issued solely for informational and planning purposes only.� It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotation) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future.� As stipulated in the FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers, shall not be used as a proposal, and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This SSN does not commit the Government to contract for any service whatsoever.� Furthermore, we are not seeking proposals at this time.� Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this SSN.� All costs associated with responding to the SSN will be solely at the responding party's expense.� Any resulting procurement action will be subject to a separate, future announcement.� The information is provided for discussion purposes and any potential strategy for this acquisition may change prior to any solicitation release.� 4. Instructions for Response:� Interested parties are invited to submit a response, by email to the Contracting Specialist Todd Brady at todd.brady@us.af.mil and Contracting Officer Allison Ianniello at allison.ianniello.1@us.af.mil within 15 calendar days of this notice.
