Description

A Pre-Solicitation Industry Conference on the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance Contract (SETAC) is scheduled for Friday 27 Jul 2001, 0900-1200 (registration begins at 0830). This conference will be held at the Sparkman Auditorium, Sparkman Center, Redstone Arsenal, AL. As we anticipate an extensive number of attendees, and open-space parking is limited, we recommend that you carpool to the maximum extent possible. This will address both contractual and business-related issues, including, but not limited to, questions/answers on the previously-released DRFP, updates to the general acquisition strategy, and the current acquisition schedule. You should provide the following information to michele.williams@smdc.army.mil not later than 24 Jul 2001: (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 (in addition to those already submitted in response to the DRFP). Small Businesses should note the FAR 19 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 (USASMDC); Program Executive Office Air and Missile Defense (PEO-AMD); National Missile Defense Joint Program Office (NMD-JPO), and Other Government Agencies related to space, air, and missile defense. This support is both broad ranging and ever changing. The SETAC scope of work (SOW) will have seven functional areas: Requirements Definition, Integration, and Planning; Technology Development, System Development, Assessment, and Validation; Threat Estimation/Projections; Weapons Lethality and Effects Estimation; Engagement Simulation and Interfacing; Program/Project Analysis, Evaluation, and Support, and Production and Fielding Support. This acquisition will result in multiple awards with identical SOWs and numbers of direct-production-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 USASMDC, PEO-AMD, NMD-JPO, 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.
