Description

17. TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING ACQUISITION SUPPORT (TEAS 4). The final acquisition strategy for the TEAS 4 acquisition has been determined. After considering the need for the TEAS Program to integrate task efforts across AAC and other associated units and the size of the single, integrated requirement, the final acquisition strategy is to award a single contract using Full and Open competition, with Standard Industrial Classification Code 8731 (NAIC 54171) with employee size standard of 1000. The contract will include a 30% small business subcontracting requirement that includes a 5% women owned goal and a 5% small disadvantaged business goal (both 5% goals may be met by a single firm.) In anticipation of the final Request for Proposal (RFP) release early October, the Air Force Air Armament Center (AAC) at Eglin AFB (AAC/PKZ) will be holding a Pre-Proposal Conference for prospective TEAS 4 offerors on September 21, 2000 from 1300 -- 1500. Conference location is AAC Headquarters, Building 1, 101 West D Ave, Room 204, Eglin AFB FL. Check-in and registration will take place outside the conference room at 1230. Each company is limited to three attendees. Up to 4 additional company attendees will be allowed entry at 1255 on a space available basis.

The estimated ceiling level of performance is 875 man-years per contract year (1764 hours/man-year), and most likely is 530 man-years per contract year. The contract will include a minimum quantity to be ordered in the first year. That minimum will either be 135 man-years or more, TBD. Foreign participation is excluded.
