B -- SENSOR & PHENOMENOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES SOL HQ0006-98-R-0005 DUE 022898 POC POC: Ms. Karla Smith Jackson, (703) 604-4473, BMDO Reference Number: 97-13 Modification: The synopsis originally publicized in the CBD dated 02/13/97 and modified by publications of 02/18/97 and 03/03/97 is replaced in total. The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), Surveillance & Interceptor Technology Directorate (BMDO/TOS) requires technical, systems engineering, and programmatic services that will conduct analyses; develop, assess, and refine innovative concepts in sensor technologies; plan major experiments; accomplish data reductions and analysis of experiment results; and conduct system engineering studies on sensor systems. Personnel qualifications will include specialized experience in visible/UR/IR sensors; radar, space systems; ballistic missile command, control, and communications; lethality; survivability; active and passive phenomenology; space and aircraft mission planning, experiment development and data reduction; and data fusion. The significant evaluation areas for award will include: (a) Corporate Experience (b) Technical Expertise and Understanding of Requirements (c) Management Approach; (d) Past Performance; and (e) Cost. The evaluation will be conducted in two phases. Phase One will include an oral presentation which shall communicate the offerors capability to perform the statement of work and draft task orders plus a written submission consisting of the Business Proposal, Summary- level Cost Proposal, Performance Information (experience and past performance), and Technical Offer and Capability Information (personnel information and task plans responding to approximately three draft task orders). At the conclusion of Phase One, a determination will be made of those offerors having a reasonable chance for being selected for award. This is NOT a competitive range determination as defined at FAR 15.306(c). A sufficient number of offerors will be maintained to insure adequate efficient competition. Offerors will be notified of this determination. Those offerors determined NOT to have a reasonable chance of being selected for award will be advised that while they are not restricted from responding to Phase Two instructions of the RFP, and their Phase Two submissions will be accepted and evaluated, their Phase One assessment indicates a low probability of award. Phase Two will consist of a written submission of Task Plans responding to the remaining draft task orders included in the RFP (approximately sixteen). BMDO Postings to the BMDO Acquisition Reporting Bulletin Board (BARBB) [http://www.acq.osd.mil/bmdo/ barbb/barbb.htm] currently include drafts of the bidders list, statement of work, example task orders (from current contract), desired personnel qualifications, organizational conflict of interest clause and disclosure form, and Year 2000 capability statement. Additional documents, including new draft task orders, will be posted as they become available. Note that modem access to the BARBB via (703) 769-8394 is now only for Funds & Labor Hour Expenditure Report data exchange; procurement status information and downloadable draft documents are only available via the Internet. This procurement will be accomplished through a full and open competition with planned RFP release in early January 1998 and Contract Award in June 1998. New FAR Part 15 Re-write provisions and clauses will be included in the RFP. Any prospective prime contractor desiring to provide a pre-solicitation technical presentation and engage in communication of their technical approach or alternate ways to refine the Government's requirement based on draft requirements documents posted to the BARBB, may contact Ms. Karla Smith Jackson at (703) 604-4473 to arrange a meeting with BMDO contracting officials. PRE-SOLICITATION TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO PRIME CONTRACTORS ONLY AND SHALL NOT EXCEED TWO HOURS. BMDO plans to hold pre-solicitation presentations the week of 8 December 1997 and requests for presentations will not be accepted after close of business on 5 December 1997.
