U -- BASE TRAINING MANAGEMENT (BASE ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING) DUE 051498 POC Ms. Bligh or Maj Holder (dpsaf@hq.afpc.af.mil) WEB: Click here to go to the HQ AETC Homepage, http://www-contracting.aetc.af.mil. E-MAIL: Click here to contact Ms. Bligh or Maj Holder via e-mail., dpsaf@hq.afpc.af.mil. Sources sought to solicit industry comments, questions, and proposed solutions on the following draft PWS for Base Training Management. This is a prototype of what could become a template for use across the U.S. Air Force. The existence of this PWS template does not imply that this function will actually be contracted out, but only that it is a possibility for the USAF's future consideration. This is a sources sought synopsis request to identify potential offerors and solicit industry comments, questions, and proposed solutions. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided. Responses to this request must include: Business size, technical literature, cut sheets, pamphlets or any documentation that will demonstrate the potential offeror's ability to satisfy the Government's requirements. Responses must also state that the contractor is not on the Parties Excluded from Procurement Programs. Contractors with GSA schedule contracts shall provide the contract number and expiration date.This PWS template's goal is to provide a standard baseline of services contracted, and recommend standards for acceptable service, if individual USAF MAJCOMs decide they want to contract this function. MAJCOMs could take several approaches to contracting the Base Training Management function. A few of the possibilities are: contract it as a separate function at individual bases, contract it as a separate function across all bases belonging to that MAJCOM, or bundling this contract along with other services contracts at particular bases. This function is currently being performed on USAF bases by enlisted military members ranging in grade from Staff Sergeant (E-5) to Master Sergeant (E-7). The typical Air Force Base has one to two members working in this function full time, depending on the size and mission of the base. Members typically have at least 3 years of experience in managing unit-level on-the-job training programs before being considered for this base-level management function. This draft PWS is being made available in order to get commercial sector comments on its contents, and to generate questions about areas within the document that are unclear. We are interested in knowing whether similar contracts are currently being performed, and are interested in getting copies of the contracting vehicles involved in such cases. We are interested in past experience that any particular company may have had in the on-the-job training management area, or in similar services areas. We are interested in the resumes and credentials of any such companies. We are NOT interested in pricing estimates or ROMs. Responses must be received via e-mail by this office no later than 14 May 98. A solicitation is not available at this time. Request for future solicitation documents will not be considered responsive to this request. The attached PWS draft shall not be interpreted or construed to imply that the U.S. Air Force will in fact offer this area up for contracting at any point in the future. This draft PWS will be removed from this location at the close of business (1600 Local Standard Time) 14 May 98. However, any responses submitted after this date will be considered. Any inputs, or queries for further clarification or information should be e-mailed to dpsaf@hq.afpc.af.mil. Please place "ATTN Ms. Bligh and Maj Holder" in the subject header. For a copy of the PWS go to the HQ AETC Home Page (http://www-contracting.aetc.af.mil), then select Simplified Acquisition Business Opportunities, then Local Business Opportunities Services Acquisitions, then Base Training Management (Base On-The-Job-Training), at the top of this page select Review Available Files.
