AETC BPAS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The Headquarters Air Education And Training Command anticipates the establishment of no more than five blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for information technology (IT) products and services. The SIC code is 8732. One of the five will be reserved for a small business if responsive. Another of the five will be reserved for an 8(a) firm if determined responsive. Interested vendors should have experience in the following: studies, analyses, research, advisory services, computer-based instruction, design and development, device development, modeling and simulation, training system networking, systems engineering, and the development of turn-key training systems. Additionally, vendors must be able to provide synopsis of current reseller products and services (e.g., software, training, and hardware). The total estimated acquisition value is $15 Million over three (3) year period. The BPAs will be awarded against vendors' GSA IT Schedule 70 contracts; thus, vendors responding to this notice must have an existing GSA schedule 70 contract by date of notice publication. Agency-specific terms and conditions and Organizational Conflict Of Interest clause may be incorporated. Interested vendors must submit the following information to the contracting office below. Your response is limited to six (6) pages typed, 10-font. Teaming arrangements are permitted, but must be addressed in your response. All "teammates" must be GSA Schedule 70 contract holders. The first twenty- five (25) responses will be evaluated; others will be returned unopened. Your response must include and will be evaluated based upon: (1) technical capabilities (2) labor-rate pricing information from existing GSA contract and any offered discounts specifically for the BPA (include a description and qualifications of each labor category), (3) relative experience, and (4) relative past performance data, in that order of importance. Specifically address how you would price efficiencies in future Advanced Distributed Learning, Business Process Modeling, Advanced Decision Support Systems, and Data Warehousing then apply to labor mix and quantity of hours. Upon receipt of notification of successful offer, awardees will be required to provide the contracting office below a complete, conformed (including posted modifications) copy of their basic IDIQ Schedule 70 contract with the GSA. To be considered, responses must be received in the contracting office below no later than 29 Dec 98. All respondents must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Vendors must provide their CAGE code, DUNS number, tax identification number, business size, and socio-economic status.
