E-MAIL: Jeff Dedrick, jeffrey.dedrick@losangeles.af.mil. The Space and Missiles Systems Center (SMC)/Specialized Contracts Office (AXC) invites prospective contractors to review the Request For Quotation (RFQ) for SMC_s approach to fulfilling its centralized Financial Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) requirements. It is SMC/AXC_s intent to issue multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) incorporating the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) 70 (Information Technology (IT)). The Standard Industrial Code (SIC)-4813, Communication and Subgroup, Telephone Communication (which includes Satellite Facilities and defines a small business as 1500 employees) will be applicable to this effort. For this effort (FASS) BPAs will only be issued to Small Businesses. SMC/AXC recommends that contractors form teaming relationships for this effort. In order to be a _team_ member each contractor must have a GSA FSS. SMC/AXC anticipates its FASS requirements value to be approximately $86M (million) over the next 5 years. This requirement is for the acquisition of services and support which includes, but is not limited to, the following 11 Core Competencies; Cost Estimating, Cost-Related Research, Training, Acquisition Reports, Commitment/Obligation/ Expenditure Reconciliation, Earned Value Analysis, Market Analysis/Priced Based Acquisition, Activity Based Costing/Management (ABC/M), Total Ownership Cost (TOC), Cost/Scheduling, and Budget Execution Support. The ordering period under these BPAs is anticipated to be sixty (60) months from BPA award or GSA FSS contract(s) period (including any options), whichever occurs first. The performance period under these BPAs will be up to 12 months beyond the ordering period. Support under these BPAs will be obtained by the issuance of individual Time and Material (contract type) Delivery Orders. Additionally, the Government may incorporate the following Option Clause(s); 1) Option to Extend Services, and, 2) Options to Extend the Term of the Contract into the BPAs for use on the individual Delivery Orders. To prevent conflicting roles which may bias the contractor_s judgement or objectivity, or to preclude the Contractor from obtaining an unfair competitive advantage in concurrent or future acquisitions, the Contractor will be required to accept an Organizational Conflict of Interest Clause in the BPAs. Additionally, the BPAs will also contain a Financial Conflict of Interest Clause. The Contractor must possess or be able to obtain an Industrial Facility Security clearance of Top Secret at time of award. Personnel supporting these BPAs must be US citizens and have at a minimum, a Secret clearance. The Contractor must also have several personnel with Top Secret clearances to fulfill some of the anticipated support requirements. The RFQ will be posted (released) on the SMC/AXC_s Website http://ax.losangeles.af.mil/axc/ or http://ax.laafb.af.mil/axc/ and a hotlink to the SMC/AXC Website will be established on the SMC/PK homepage under _Business Opportunities_ at http://www.laafb.af.mil/SMC/PK/PKHOME/pkhome.htm on/or about 15 October 1999.
