E-MAIL: Laurie Rowe, laurie.rowe@patrick.af.mil. This market survey is being conducted to identify firms interested in providing operational and flight safety support services for the 45th Space Wing (45 SW). This was originally announced on 22 Feb 00 under the title of Consolidated Safety Engineering Contract (CSEC), which was later cancelled on 23 Mar 00 due to change in scope. The proposed contract would be a recompetition of the current safety contract at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB), with potential provisions for safety engineering and analysis support to NASA, Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The contract will provide operational safety engineering support, flight safety analyses, and oversight for hazardous and safety critical space launch operations. Such support may include, but is not limited to, analytical, scientific and engineering studies, and risk assessments in support of launch missions at the 45 SW, assessments of hazards associated with pre-launch, launch, and post-launch safety operations; review of facility designs, ground support equipment, and launch vehicle equipment. Further services may include flight plan review and analysis; ground-based safety critical equipment and systems; ordnance; solid and liquid propellants; cryogens; radiological materials and other sources radiation; high pressure gases; transport of hazardous materials; installation and test of launch vehicle Flight Termination Systems (FTS); validation and inspection of ordnance checkout equipment, fire suppression systems and other hazardous systems/subsystems. The contract will also provide safety engineering technical support; engineering analysis of systems; hazardous operations procedure reviews; operations safety specific inspections and on-site visits of ordnance/munitions facilities and operating locations; safety support for launch countdown operations including mishap and catastrophic event contingencies. Offerors must possess and demonstrate a broad knowledge of safety engineering specific skills that include the analysis, identification, and mitigation of hazards associated with numerous systems employed in the space lift industry. These systems include, but are not limited to, safety critical material handling equipment used on the eastern range; acoustic hazards; non-ionizing radiation including RF and LASER operations; ionizing radiation operations; hazardous materials handling operations; high pressure gas systems; cryogenic systems; hypergol systems and operations for space lift; ordnance systems with emphasis on space applications; solid and liquid propellant systems; and electrical hazards. Offerors must also demonstrate the capability to provide real-time safety critical support, including on-call capability, for 24-hour mission-critical operations, and disaster preparedness contingencies. Operating locations will include CCAFS, PAFB, and further locations TBD. Proposed contract type is cost-plus-award-fee (CPAF), with provisions for indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)/task order contract line item numbers (CLINs). A basic contract period of one year, with four 1-year option periods, is contemplated. Clearances at the SECRET level are required, and the contractor must have the ability to acquire TOP SECRET level. The applicable SIC code and size standard is 8731/1000 employees. Conflict of interest rules apply, and offerors will be required to submit mitigation plans following release of the RFP. Firms responding to this survey must (1) state whether they are a small or large business based on the size standard above; (2) indicate if a small disadvantaged or woman-owned business, 8(a) firm, or a historically black college or university or minority institution (HBCU/MI), or a HUBZone small business; (3) provide experience in the form of an outline of previous projects for specific space lift safety relevant work completed or currently being performed of equivalent magnitude including contract numbers, description of the work, points of contact and phone numbers; specific experience of personnel identified to perform the work including professional qualifications/certificates; and (4) any other pertinent information which would enable the government to assess a firm_s capabilities. Because the government reserves the right to set aside this acquisition based on the responses received, it is imperative that firms respond with the required information so that capabilities can be evaluated accurately. Complete responses must be received NLT COB 22 June 2000. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and does not commit the government to pay for the information requested, issue a solicitation, or award a contract. No technical or solicitation documents currently exist. For further information, see the web page located at www.pafb.af.mil/45lg/45cons/csc/index.htm.
