D -- NETWORK & RELATED INTEGRATION SUPPORT SERVICES SOL RFP 3950 DUE 072898 POC Sandra McLaughlin or Lane Donley (703) 787-1354 E-MAIL: Click here to send e-mail to the Contracting Officer, Sandra.McLaughlin@MMS.gov. Numbered Notes 1 and 25 apply. This acquisition is 100% set aside for small business. All offerors must be able to qualify under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 4813 (telecommunications services), size standard 1500 employees. Desirable (but not mandatory) SIC codes for use on other line items that may be negotiated in addition to the primary services anticipated include: 7373 (computer integrated systems design), and 7379 (other computer-related services), size standard for both $18 million; 3571 (electronic computers) and 3577 (computer peripheral equipment), size standard for both 1000 employees. The Minerals Management Service (MMS) intends to issue one or more indefinite-quantity/indefinite-delivery type contracts for ashore and afloat Internet aided integrated information technology (IT) and processing support services for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and other Naval entities. NAVSEA is a large nation-wide organization responsible for the research, development, acquisition, life cycle support, and disposal of ships, submarines and their weapons & combat systems, support systems and ordnance. The Command consists of a Headquarters organization in Arlington, VA and a variety of technical and industrial organizations located throughout the country. The Command's major organizations outside of the headquarters generally are grouped into two technical centers, an ordnance center, the public naval shipyards and the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIPs) that oversee the Command's new ship construction and in-service ship repair efforts. NAVSEA's responsibilities also include the maintenance, repair, modernization and conversion of in-service ships and their weapons and combat systems. Additionally, it provides technical, industrial and logistics support for naval ships, and ensures the proper design and development of the total ship, including contractor-furnished shipboard systems. The intent of this multiple-award IDIQ acquisition is to provide NAVSEA SUPSHIP (et. al.) with the information technology necessary to achieve a workable and efficient organization on each ship built, as is necessary to support the multiple supply, maintenance, safety, operations and administrative functions performed on board with integrated information processing capabilities. The need for IT and processing support for all activities necessary to implement and train NAVSEA, SUPSHIP, and Ship Operations integrated information-processing capabilities is neither constant nor regular. There may be instances where NAVSEA SUPSHIP will not have the staff resources readily available to provide the support in the time frame needed. Therefore, MMS anticipates contracting on NAVSEA's behalf with one or more qualified organizations able to provide support on an as-needed basis, in response to a task order and specific Statement of Work, which will be developed for each support initiative (SI). In order to compete under this acquisition, interested parties MUST demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the work by providing, BY 4:00PM (Eastern Time) TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1998, an original and three (3) copies of your Capabilities Statement, not more than 30 standard pages in length, detailing: (1) key personnel, including anticipated Program Manager(s), who would have primary responsibility for performing and/or managing the SI, with their qualifications and specific experience; (2) organizational experience and facilities relevant to this type of effort; and (3) specific client references (including contract identification number & project description, period of performance, dollar amount, client identification with point of contract & telephone number) for work of this nature that your key personnel and/or organization have performed within the last two years. (References will be checked). Following review of all Capabilities Statements, a "most-qualified" pool of offerors will be established. Offerors included in this group will be notified as how to prepare a proposal and other logistical considerations. Oral presentations may be requested in lieu of certain portions of the proposal. Capabilities Statements will be evaluated based upon your key persons' relevant skill, abilities and experience; your organization's relevant experience and past performance history (including number, size, and complexity of similar projects, adherence to schedules and budgets, effectiveness of program management, willingness to cooperate when difficulties arise, general compliance with the terms of the contracts, and acceptability of delivered product). Questions should be e-mailed as soon as possible to Sandra.McLaughlin@mms.gov, with a copy to Brian.Seery@mms.gov. Please reference RFP 3950 in the subject line of your e-mail. Telephone inquiries are strongly discouraged. Posted 07/14/98 (W-SN223042). (0195)
