The Air Force Phillips Laboratory, Directorate of Contracting, Kirtland, AFB, New Mexico, intends to award a sole source contract via contract modification to the prime contractor, Applied Technology Associates, Incorporated, (ATA) to provide additional hours on a pre-existing contract (F29601-93-C-0211) for continuation of work already in progress on imaging modeling and simulations and experimental support for N-ABLE Lidar, Daytime Adaptive Optics and Active Imaging Experiments. Emphasis is on continuing data reduction and design and simulation work. The contract type is level of effort with award fee. No new work will be started under this effort. This modification will be awarded to ATA provided other sources cannot furnish the requirement at more favorable terms. Potential offerors must provide unclassified information indicating their capability to begin performance immediately upon contract award to meet program targets and schedules. Foreign firms are advised they will not be allowed to participate as the prime contractor. Interested contractors must indicate whether they qualify as a small business under SIC code 8731, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Firms responding shall reference the above contract number and indicate whether they are or are not a small business, a small disadvantaged business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, a woman owned business, a historically black college or university, a minority institution, an 8(a) firm, a large business, or an education/nonprofit organization. Based on responses to this market survey, the Air Force reserves the right to set aside this requirement for small business, 8(a), or historically black colleges and universities or minority institutions. Replies to this market survey must be received within 10 calendar days after date of publication of this survey. The Contracting Officer shall send a copy of the current SOW to all offerors who express interest. Potential offerors will then have 10 days to submit a Statement of Capability (SOC).

An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to address concerns during the proposal development phase of the acquisition. Potential offerors should use established channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before contacting the Ombudsman. For serious concerns only, potential offerors are invited to contact the PL Ombudsman, Col James D. Ledbetter, PL Vice Commander at 505/846-4964, or at 3550 Aberdeen Ave SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5776. (0165)
