D -- ADPD SOL F42650-96-R-AAAAY POC For copy, Marlene J. Job/Pkoe/(801)777-2477, For additional information contact Marlene J. Job/Pkoe/(801)777-2477 This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. The following information is provided to do a Market Survey of Industry to determine potential contractors who have the knowledge and skills required to successfully complete this effort. This acquisition is for the Ogden Software Development Activity (MSG/SO) to provide continuous software engineering and technical support for mission essential critical legacy automated data systems and system re-engineering efforts through the year 2000. These systems include such core logistics processes as Depot Maintenance, Asset Management, Financial Management and Contracting Systems. Skills required by potential contractors include software system engineering and ADA development in an Integrated Computer Aided Software Engineering (I-CASE) environment. Also required are skills in application development and re-engineering legacy COBOL systems resident on IBM MVS, Tandem Non-stop and VAX VMS hardware/software with the projected target environment to be Oracle/UNIX. MSG/SO has recently been assessed as a level II on the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and is implementing processes to ensure a Level III rating by not later than (NLT) Fiscal Year (FY) 97 and the selected contractors shall be obliged to follow these processes where required. Due to the large and technically diverse number of requirements that we project will be levied upon us during this period, we intend to make multiple awards (to two different contractors) and use an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contractual vehicle. The government will compete each Delivery Order (DO) requirement between the two successful contractors. Each contractor will receive a guaranteed minimum during the period of performance and the government reserves the right to negotiate this guaranteed minimum at the end of the contractual period should one of the contractors be unsuccessful in winning a Delivery Order through competition. The intended period of performance will be a basic year, plus four one-year option periods. Potential offerors may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. Potential offerors should submit their interest within 10 days after publication of this notice to OO-ALC/PKOE, 6038 Aspen Ave (Bldg 1289), Hill AFB, UT 84056-5805, Attn: Marlene J. Job. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Requests for further information regarding this announcement should be directed to the Contracting Officer listed above. No telephone or FAX requests. Only written requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable. This is not a Request for Proposal. (0072)
