18 -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION SENSOR/SPACECRAFT SUPPORT & SERVICES CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION DUE 030599 POC Contract Negotiator, Mr. Jim Tisdale, (310) 336-4597; Contracting Officer, Mr. William S. Trombetta, (310) 336-4460 WEB: click here to download the current Statements of Work, http://www.laafb.af.mil/SMC/CI/dmspCIE.html.. In an attempt to address projected reductions in overall resources, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) System Program Office (SPO) is exploring the feasibility and affordability of consolidating some or all of its sensor and spacecraft support and services contract efforts. To this end, the government is requesting that contractors interested in consolidating some or all of the current and projected DMSP support and service efforts submit: an execution and management plan, a comprehensive SOW, and a detailed cost estimate for achieving this goal. Because the Government does not retain data rights to the technical drawings for most of the instruments, it is unlikely that any single contractor expressing interest in this consolidation effort will be capable of performing all efforts without subcontracting or otherwise teaming with the current vendors. The following website, http://www.laafb.af.mil/SMC/CI/dmspCIE.html., contains the current Statements of Work for each of the current contracts contemplated for consolidation, current contract values of each of the contracts, and contractor and government points of contact. Additionally, at this site the government has provided a Statement of Objectives (SOO) for the consolidation effort. The government asks that interested contractors access the above website for the guidelines and timelines on preparing the requested comprehensive SOW, management and execution plan, and detailed cost estimate. This request for information is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids or a Request for Proposals, nor is it a commitment by the government. The government will not pay for any effort expended in responding to this notice. Interested contractors who plan on submitting packages outlining their plans and cost estimates for consolidation will be due in to Mr. Trombetta by close of business 5 March 1999. Government personnel and its technical support contractors will review responses. For more detailed technical information on any of the following effort descriptions, please contact Capt. Brian Bullerman at (310) 336-4935. Please refer all other questions and comment to the contracting officer, Mr. William S. Trombetta. Posted 02/04/99 (W-SN295314). (0035)
