B -- OUTSOURCING OF NUCLEAR FORENSIC ANALYSIS SERVICES SOL F08650-99-R-0116 POC Lois Brockson, Contract Specialist (407) 494-8354 or John Moore, Contracting Officer (407) 494-1668 This announcement supersedes Submission No. 163154 dated 29 Jan 98 entitled "Outsourcing of Nuclear Forensic Analysis Services, F08650-98-R-0006" -- the requirement has changed. The 45th Contracting Squadron intends to negotiate a contract to outsource the Nuclear Plant at McClellan Central Laboratory (MCL), McClellan AFB, CA. Due to impending base closure, the government has ceased operations at MCL and anticipates closing the facility after 30 Sep 99. The NP program deals primarily with the separation, analysis, and identification of matter through mass spectrometer particle analysis. Prospective sources would be required to obtain secure communication capabilities at the SECRET level. Offerors shall be responsible for providing a suitable site for performance of the contract requirements. Due to the radiological work required, offerors will need to obtain required state and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses. Prospective sources must possess, or show the capability to obtain, an NRC broadscope radioactive materials license (or an agreement/state license/permit, as applicable, for the facility where work will be performed) prior to performance start. Mission essential analysis equipment will belong to the government and be provided as government-furnished equipment (GFE). Due to the potential of contaminating trace-level mission samples, analysis equipment and areas of any facility used for environmental samples or nuclear forensic analysis services shall not be used for activities other than AFTAC work without the expressed written permission of the government program office. Also, offerors shall minimize sample analysis contamination by keeping facilities in this effort isolated from other facilities doing nuclear work. Contract is anticipated to begin on 1 Mar 2000 with initial analyses to start no later than 1 Oct 2000. Prospective sources would be required to have DoD security clearances of at least the SECRET NO FOREIGN level. Participation in this potential effort would require both a facilities clearance and storage capability of at least the SECRET level. Prospective sources would be required to support secure communication capabilities at the SECRET level. This acquisition is unrestricted. The SIC code and size standard for this acquisition are 8734/$5M. Draft solicitation issue date of 18 Jul 99 and proposal due date of 3 Dec 99 are tentative. Requests for the solicitation must be faxed to (407) 494-5403, mailed to 45 CONS/LGCXB, Attn: John Moore, 1030 South Highway A1A, MS 1000, Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3002, or e-mailed to: john.moore@pafb.af.mil. Phone calls will not be accepted. Please include your fax number and e-mail address on any correspondence. Please DO NOT attempt to contact any AFTAC laboratory personnel. Any attempt to do so may compromise your ability to bid on work at this facility. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the government. See Notes 25 and 26.
