COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MAY 30,1996 PSA#1605U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, Acquisition Center
(AMSTA-AQ-DS), Warren, MI 48397-5000 A -- ANNOUNCEMENT PART 2 OF 3 Sol DAAE0796QBAA1 due 091396. POC For a
solicitation copy or for information on this procurement, call Jenny
Sterba (810)574-6792. (8.5'' X 11'' double spaced) including: a one
page executive summary; a section on previous industry dollar
investments in this technology; a section on potential return on
investment if the Army incorporates the technology; a section on
company history in this technical area; one page task milestone chart;
and multi-page specific scope of work, with numbered tasks. This will
become the body of the cooperative agreement or contract and should be
identified as ``scope of work'' in the proposal. The offeror's cost
proposal has no page limit and should be submitted as a separate
document on SF 1411 together with supporting detailed cost data,
including any subcontractor cost data, in accordance with FAR 15.804-6.
Cost and technical proposals should be submitted in five copies and
should be marked BAA No. DAAE07-96-Q-BAA1. Offerors are requested to
provide their Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) number with their
submission. The offeror must indicate if this or a related proposal has
been offered to, or if under consideration by, any other government
agency. Proposal due date: full proposals must be received by September
13, 1996, regardless of whether or not an abstract was submitted.
Proposals will be evaluated as they are received to permit early award
of cooperative agreements/contracts possibly prior to the BAA closing
date. Proposal evaluation is expected to take a minimum of 45 days
after receipt of proposal. It is anticipated that cooperative
agreement/contracts will be awarded by January 30, 1997. Evaluation
criteria: evaluation of proposals will be accomplished through a
scientific review using the following criteria (in descending order of
importance): (1) Overall scientific and technical merit: the technical
approach of the offeror should address all criteria aspects of the
effort. The nature and sequence of task outlined by the offeror will be
evaluated. The estimated technical risk (change for success) will be
also evaluated. This evaluation factor will include: feasibility,
practicality, thoroughness, and clarity of the proposed work. (2)
Contribution to ground vehicle technology: the potential contributions
of the proposed project to improve components or systems of ground
vehicles by developing or utilizing new technologies, will be
evaluated. (3) Offerors's capabilities: the offeror's experience in the
technical area is a critical factor. The facilities, personnel and
equipment available for performance of the proposed project are also
important indicators of the offeror's capability to perform the desired
work. (4) Realism of schedule and budget: the offeror's schedule and
budget for the work will be evaluated to determine whether these
estimates are reasonable and realistic for the technical and management
approach offered, as well as to determine the offeror's practical
understanding of the effort. The budget should reflect a realistic
estimation of dollars necessary to successfully perform the work. No
portion of this BAA will be set aside for Historically Black College
and University (HBCU) and Minority Institution (MI) participation due
to the impracticability of reserving discrete or severable areas of
research in commercial technology for exclusive competition among these
entities. However, such institutions are encouraged to submit proposals
and join others in submitting proposals. The Government may select for
award all, some or none of the proposals received. More than one award
may be made per topic. Proposals selected will be awarded by an
appropriate type of contract or cooperative agreement to be signed by
the offeror and a Government/Contracting Officer. Any negotiations that
may be necessary will (end of Part 2.) (149) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0007 19960529\A-0007.SOL)
