E-MAIL: Robert Beckett, robert.beckett@langley.af.mil. Headquarters Air Combat Command (HQ ACC) plans to recompete its Contracted Advisory and Assistance Services (CAAS) contract to meet its continuing requirement for contracted support on a world-wide basis within the broad range of advisory and assistance services. This covers, three major categories of Advisory & Assistance Services (A&AS): Management and Professional Support Services; Studies, Analyses, and Evaluations; and Engineering and Technical. All HQ ACC directorates are considered primary using activities for this contract effort; however, other organizations and agencies assigned to directly support HQ ACC may require similar CAAS services on an as needed basis. Any ACC directorate, or supporting agency, may order CAAS as long as requirements are within the scope of the contract. The government will seek to expand the use of this contract in meeting the advisory and assistance services needs of HQ ACC and the organizations that support it. The range of available support will include varied and intensive analyses of technical, cost and programmatic issues; CAAS will be able to serve as a vehicle to provide broad technical and analytical tools, to support and improve policy development, management and administration, and to improve the operation of systems supporting the ACC mission. In short, CAAS will be used to complement the Government_s technical expertise in accomplishing its mission. Information concerning the current contract can be found at http://www.acc.af.mil/public/lg/Cons/Lgcu/CAAS/CAASHome.html. The government expects to announce the award winners of this source selection on or about 14 Feb 01 with the resultant contracts taking effect on or about 1 Apr 01.
