Graff, LCDR, USN, Contracting Officer Fleet and Industrial Supply Center is soliciting comments to assist in enhancing competition for a forthcoming solicitation with particular emphasis on the statement of work, award fee payment plan, and technical evaluation criteria. The overall requirement of this contract is to provide full range and base operations and maintenance and support services for the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. PMRF supports extensive Fleet training and readiness exercises and complex Test and Evaluation missions for a variety of DOD and allied Government organizations. As the world's largest instrumented, multi-environment range, PMRF supports a broad spectrum of simultaneous combat environments by blending subsurface, surface, air and space regimes to present the customer with unprecedented realism. Access to over 42,000 square miles of controlled airspace, coupled with major instrumentation resources for accurate data recording, makes PMRF the premier fleet tactical training range. The Mauna Kapu Site on Oahu provides frequency monitoring and detection in support of the Joint Frequency Management Office (JFMO), CINCPACFLT, and supports Electronic Warfare and anti-submarine warfare training for aircraft, ships and submarines. PMRF operates and maintains radio-controlled air and surface targets for missile, gunnery, and bombing exercises. The surface targets are operated and maintained by PMRF military personnel, but escort and towing services are provided by Contractor-operated Weapon Retrieval Boats. PMRF's Headquarters at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii, includes range technical facilities, an airfield, base service facilities (buildings, road, grounds, transportation, utilities, security, and logistics), fire fighting facilities and several fixed and rotary wing aircraft. PMRF facilities consist of seven sites on Kauai, three on Oahu and sites on Niihau. Additionally, PMRF has an extensive fixed and portable Electronic Warfare (EW) capability which is deployed to sites throughout the state. Some of these sites are very remote, with access usually accomplished by helicopter. PMRF also provides operation and maintenance services to a number of tenant activities.
