Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Engineering and Support Services (formerly MiDAESS) Sources Sought Notice MS July 25, 2014

Transcription

1 The Missile Defense Agency is seeking information for potential small business sources of expertise in knowledge based services to support functional and program organizations in delivering ballistic missile defense capability for the U.S. and its allies. This is a sources sought to determine the availability and technical capability of small businesses to provide the required products and/or services; therefore, only small businesses need to respond. Additionally, this Sources Sought notice is being published with the intent to promote competition. Suggestions from industry regarding how competition may best be achieved, to include any recommended changes to the proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, are requested. All such suggestions will be considered; however, the Government reserves the right to solicit for the required services in a manner of its own choosing in accordance with the applicable procurement regulations. Suggestions may be submitted separate from the small business capability statements and should be submitted via to MiDAESS2014@mda.mil. Any suggestions should be submitted not later than the cutoff date specified below. Suggestions may be submitted from both large and small businesses; however, specific capability statements in response to this announcement should be submitted by small businesses only. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to restructure the MDA Engineering and Support Services work groupings to promote a more efficient way of doing business across the Agency in future support services acquisitions. This restructure re-aligns requirements into capability areas that will allow MDA Functional Managers to better address skill sets, commonality in requirements/work, and overall synergy throughout the Agency. Table 1 below lists the capability areas, acquisition content (by areas and subareas), the NAICS, and associated size standards. The final NAICs determination for each capability area will depend on the group of work solicited at the time of the final RFP(s). The Agency contemplates awarding a single stand-alone contract for each group. Currently, it is contemplated that there will be no restrictions planned with regards to industry teaming arrangements; however, the final decision will be contained in the final RFP(s). The MDA is contemplating conducting multiple source selections with multiple requests for proposals (RFPs) in both full and open (F&O) and small business set-aside (SBSA) competitions. The RFPs are expected to be released in a phased approach as existing awards expire to ensure no gaps in support. Interested small business concerns are asked to indicate interest and declare capability at the capability area level (i.e., Business Management) and/or at the sub-area level (i.e., Earned Value Management). Small businesses which are declaring capability at the capability area level should demonstrate their ability to perform all subareas contained within the capability area. Small businesses who are only interested in a subarea can respond to the subarea only. Interested small business concerns should complete the attached sources sought form by indicating the area and subareas to which they are submitting capability statements against. The completed form should be submitted with the respondent s capability statements based on the instructions provided below. The responses to this notification will assist in development of a strategy regarding how the capability areas will be structured and which portions of our requirements will be solicited as SBSAs.

2 A summary of each capability area/subarea requirements is provided below. In addition to this summary, more detailed examples of potential requirements are provided in attachments to this notice. Please note that these documents are examples of potential requirements and are provided only for the purpose of assisting the interested small business concerns in better understanding the potential requirements in order to respond to this sources sought notice. The examples are not work statements for any resultant RFP and may not represent the final requirements of any resultant RFP. Interested small business concerns must be capable of performing requirements for which they declare capability as the prime contractor, agency or enterprise-wide, i.e., at all MDA locations.
