VIRTUAL PRIME VENDOR This notice is an addendum to Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SP0410-97-V-0004, published September 11,1997 and amended on October 9, 1997, February 12, 1998, February 17, 1998, February 23, 1998, and June 25, 1998. This addendum requests abstracts for Aircraft Secondary Power System Spares. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's requirements may submit an abstract. Firms wishing to submit an abstract may obtain the BAA and Proposer Information Packet (PIP) from the DSCR web page (www.dscr.dla.mil) using the BAA heading. Interested sources must submit an original abstract and four (4) copies to Ms. Sherrill King by 2:00 p.m. November 20, 1998. DLA will consider all abstracts received; however, firms that fail to submit an abstract will not be eligible for future award(s) under this addendum. Any firm that submitted an abstract in response to the original or amended BAA will automatically be considered eligible for award under this addendum. Therefore, any such firm need not submit another abstract, unless the firm wishes to submit a different or changed abstract because of this addendum. Each offeror will be notified in writing of the merits of its abstract. Regardless of the merit of any abstract, all offerors will be allowed to submit a full concept paper by a specified date and time. To aid in preparation of a concept paper, all offerors will receive an attachment to the PIP. The PIP attachment will be a Section L and M tailored to the offerors' abstracts. Wholly different abstracts will result in different PIP attachments. The PIP attachment will contain instructions for submitting a concept paper and will detail the criteria for evaluation of the concept papers. Failure to submit a concept paper will preclude consideration for award. Concepts that are considered advantageous to the government may be selected for award. If competing abstracts are received, the government will first evaluate abstracts for merit based upon the criteria identified in the original BAA, the amended BAA and PIP. The PIP attachment will explain how competing offerors will be notified of the selection and given an opportunity for a preaward debriefing. The selected concept will form the basis of the statement of work and ultimate contract award. If only one abstract is received, it will be evaluated based solely upon the criteria identified in the original and amended BAA. If the concept is considered advantageous to the government, the concept paper will form the basis for the statement of work and the ultimate contract award. For any additional information, please contact Sherrill King via e-mail at ssking@dscr.dla.mil. Posted 11/03/98 (W-SN267702).
