Description

A Pre-Solicitation Industry Briefing on the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance Contract (SETAC) is scheduled for 6-7 Dec 2000, 0900-1600 (registration begins at 0830 each day). This conference will be held at the Morris Auditorium, NASA Building 4200, 1st floor, Rideout Road, Redstone Arsenal, AL. As you approach the front of the building, visitor parking is in the lot to the right. We anticipate an extensive number of attendees, therefore, we request that you carpool to the maximum extent possible. This two-day event will address both contractual and technical issues, including, but not limited to, the general acquisition strategy, program overviews of the various technologies that will be supported by the resultant contract, and the current acquisition schedule. You should provide the following information to amy.greer@smdc.army.mil not later than 27 Nov 2000: (1) name, title/position, and security classification information of each person who plans to attend the conference; (2) any questions/issues you would like to have addressed at the conference. Small Businesses should note the FAR 19 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code and size standard for the SETAC is 8731/1000 employees and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and size standard is 54171/1000 employees. This acquisition is not open to participation by foreign firms at either the prime or subcontract level. The contractors will be expected to provide non-personal services for systems engineering and technical assistance in support of the Mission and Function Statements for the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command, Huntsville and Washington DC; Program Executive Office Air and Missile Defense; and Other Government Agencies related to space, air, and/or missile defense. This support is both broad ranging and ever changing. The current SETAC scope of work (SOW) has six functional areas: Requirements Definition, Integration, and Planning; Technology Development, Assessment, and Validation; Threat Estimation/Projections; Weapons Lethality and Effects Estimation; Engagement Simulation and Interfacing; and Program/Project Analysis, Evaluation, and Support. This follow-on acquisition is anticipated to have the same or similar functional areas. This acquisition will result in multiple awards with identical SOWs and numbers of person-hours. The contracts will consist of fixed-price labor categories and cost reimbursable travel and materials line items. The Government does not intend to limit either the number or types of teaming arrangements entered into by the potential offerors (i.e., any given contractor could propose as a prime contractor as well as participate as a subcontractor on one or more other proposing teams). Further, we do not intend to impose any restrictions on team membership after award. The resultant contracts will contain an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) clause that could limit a successful offeror from participating in any other U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, Program Executive Office Air and Missile Defense (PEO-AMD), and Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) contracts. To the greatest extent possible, while still protecting the Government's interests, the OCI clause will be applied only for the supported technology areas of the contractor's actual SETAC performance.
