A -- SCIENTIFIC ENGINEERING AND MANPOWER ASSISTANCE SUPPORT (SEAMAS) CONTRACT POC Mr. Larry G. Edwards, Contracting Officer, 904 283-8661, or Mr. Qui Carroll, Contract Specialist, 904 283-8662. The objectives of this effort are the procurement of scientific, engineering, and technical manpower assistance capabilities to support and obtain sound solutions and alternative options for assigned science, technology, research, and technical field support projects; programs and planned milestones in structural, civil engineering materials, camouflage, concealment and deception, chemical and biological protective systems, energy, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), power generation, emission control, superconductivity, robotics, explosive ordnance disposal, pavements, and fire fighting technologies. this also includes facility systems and subsystems (including but not limited to electrical, mechanical, energy, and environmental engineering); advanced academic, proficiency and contingency training programs; studies and analyses; publication and editorial management; library reference service; graphics; computer systems operations; audiovisual development; and field support operations. Contractor personnel will be capable of supporting the exploratory, advanced, and engineering development research activities of Wright Laboratory (WL)-FIVC-OL and the engineering and technical requirements of Headquarters Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (HQ AFCESA), Tyndall AFB, Florida. Personnel qualifications required to perform these tasks and functions must include demonstrated expertise and experience in the following areas: design, analysis, research, development, testing, evaluation, computer systems operation, publication management, training and documentation to support ongoing and future civil engineering laboratory R&D and HQ AFCESA field technical support and initiatives. The scope of work includes all areas and aspects of technology development, planning, program management, technical editing, construction, instrumentation, testing, repairing, evaluation, managing, briefing, and reporting of Civil Engineering R&D and Engineering activities. Special technical areas of research and technical engineering support include computer programming; design, selection, and maintenance of roofing systems; development of organic biodegradable materials recovery techniques; evaluation and enhancement of pest management techniques; establishing criteria for facility paint and protective coatings; airfield markings and lighting; indoor air quality; selection and evaluation of energy saving performance techniques; performance of cost estimating for new construction and renovation of existing facilities, maintenance of the Defense Utility Energy Reporting System; survivability enhancement for airbase facilities; utilities and infrastructure; rapid runway repair equipment, materials and methodologies; structural hardening; criteria for the development of contingency launch and recovery operating surfaces and fixed or deployable tactical shelters; asset vulnerability assessments and asset survivability techniques; aircraft crash rescue and structural fire suppression and mitigation; hazardous material and technology training programs and systems; wartime and contingency training programs; active and passive defense techniques and measures; chemical and biological warfare operations; airfield pavements; geotechnical and foundation engineering; structural analysis of airbase facilities; mobile power generation, distribution and superconductivity technology; energy conservation; HVAC operations; alternative energy sources; environment control systems; emissions testing and fuel cell technology; development of acquisition management strategies for home station/contingency facilities and equipment and for improving effectiveness and survivability of critical command, control and communications nodes. Potential sources will be screened against the following criteria: organic senior management experience in the following areas of (1) civil engineering research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E), (2) civil engineering design and construction, (3) civil engineering unit level contingency, management, and training program development, (4) demonstrated capabilities to establish an experienced technical staff comprised of engineers and technicians with advanced degrees and experience in the technical areas contained within this synopsis, and (5) corporate capabilities to achieve and meet peak demands for highly specialized skills associated with R&D and engineering development. Contractors responding to this synopsis must provide evidence of capability for fulfilling the above requirements, to include past experience with similar efforts (i.e., portfolio, SF 254, or equivalent must be included with the response). Responses will be evaluated and solicitation source list established for those determined capable of fulfilling the government's requirements. It is anticipated the contract will be for a base year with four 12 month options. The successful offeror will be required to establish a Direct Support Group (DSG) at Tyndall AFB, FL. Firms having applicable interest, capability, and background should submit particulars in accordance with Numbered Note 25 and the above criteria to 325 CONS/LGCX, Attn: Mr. Oui Carroll, 501 Illinois Avenue, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5526. Responses to this synopsis must be received within 20 calendar days from the date of publication. For contractual information, contact Oui Carroll, 325 CONS/LGCX, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5526, (904) 283-8662. For technical information, contact Mr. Paul Sheppard, WL/FIVC, 139 Barnes Drive Suite 2, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5323, (904) 283-31715. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute an invitation for bid or request for proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the US Government, DOD, or USAF. After statements of capability have been screened, a solicitation will be issued to those perspective sources who in the sole judgments of the purchasing activity, have the potential of successfully fulfilling the requirements of the planned contract. Firms responding to this synopsis should state whether or not they are a small business concern. The US Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto. This requirement may be pursued sole source if the government determines that only one source is capable of satisfying the requirements.(284)
