E-MAIL: ACC CONS Langley AFB, dale.vandyke@langley.af.mil. This sources sought synopsis is for the command-wide (Air Combat Command) Base Training and Education Services cost comparison study as announced by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. The cost comparison was announced on January 7, 1999 and is projected to be completed late in the year 2000. Request feedback on the draft documents posted on our web site located at: (http://www.acc.af.mil/public/lg/Cons/welcome.htm ). It is the Government's intent to release the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) by August 1999. At this time we will create an official Source List. Interested offerors are requested to add their names to the Source List by e-mailing (dale.vandyke@langley.af.mil) or FAXing (FAX number: 757-764-9695) to the attention of 1st Lt. Dale Van Dyke. Offerors should reference the solicitation number, including complete email and mailing address and indicate whether their firm is a small business, small disadvantaged business, or a woman owned business. All responsible sources may submit an offer to be considered. This cost comparison will be conducted in accordance with the Air Force Commercial Activities Policy Instruction that implements the Office of Management and Budget (OMBC) A-76, Performance of Commercial Activities. This circular reaffirms the Government's policy to rely on the private sector for products and services. When in-house performance of commercial activities is not required for national defense reasons and contracting is cost effective, conversion to contract performance is in the best interest of the American taxpayer. The Base Training and Education Services effort will consolidate Air Combat Command's (ACC) A-76 study and impact a total of 79 civilians and 70 military at 15 ACC bases as well as two overseas units at Lajes Field, Azores, and Keflavik Naval Air Station, Iceland. ACC CONS and ACC DPP antisipate hosting a formal site visit shortly after the release of the final RFP. The formal site visit will include a pre-proposal conference. Please refer to the web site above for details. Please forward your comments to ACC Contracting Squadron/LGCU, 130 Douglas Street, Suite 400, Langley AFB, VA 23665-2791. Posted 02/25/99 (W-SN302395).
