Description

Engineering Services for Program Management, High Performance Computing, Information Security and Modeling and Integrated Logistics Support for designated Navy Cryptographic requirements and other Federal Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) initiatives. This work will require an understanding of the Government's requirement with knowledge of program management, information security, high performance computing, modeling and simulation, system engineering, integration, technical and knowledge of integrated logistics support with corporate experience of the designated cryptologic programs within the Navy. All personnel associated with the effort, with the exception of general administrative personnel working in support roles not actively participating in task performance, must be cleared as a minimum at the Secret Level. There will be various programs and projects that will fall under the Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and will require personnel working in those programs/tasks to be cleared at the Top Secret level. Contractor shall be required to support these programs with the appropriate mix of cleared personnel. The period of performance will be for a base period of twelve (12) months with option provisions to extend the contract an additional four (4) one-year periods. Performance will be at various federal sites worldwide with many projects occurring simultaneously at multiple sites. The Service Contract Act will apply with evaluation based on latest issue of South Carolina Wage Determination Number 94-2473. The type of contract anticipated is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee type contract. The procurement is 100% set-aside for small business (CBD Numbered Note 1 applies). NAICS 541330 applies with a small business size standard of $20 Million. Both Other Factors and Cost will be evaluated with Other Factors being substantially more important than Cost. The cost proposals will be evaluated for cost realism and offerors must provide rationale for proposed direct and indirect cost rates if different than the current DCAA rates. For "Other Factors" (technical proposal), Experience and Past Performance will be evaluated using contract references. After closing and evaluation of initial offers, an oral presentation with those offerors in the competitive range may be conducted to allow the offeror to provide a technical solution to a surprise task. The Government will meet with the offeror, provide a copy of the surprise task, then allow two hours for the offeror to prepare and present a technical solution. Follow-up questions may be asked by the Government. The Government reserves the right to award without this oral presentation if the evaluation of the initial offers results in an award recommendation to the Source Selection Authority. All proposals at the prime and at the subcontractor/individual team member level will be submitted electronically. Estimated release date for solicitation is November 1, 2001 with proposals due by December 03, 2001. This synopsis replaces announcement in Commerce Business Daily, Notice No. 5108S9 dated October 17, 2001 as amended by Notice No. 5109V7 dated October 18, 2001 under N65236-01-R-0839.
