This contemplated effort is the fourth in a lineage of SETAC contractual vehicles for these performance-based advisory and assistance services, and will satisfy recurring requirements for systems engineering and technical assistance for USASMDC/ARSTRAT and other associated defense organizations in support of their various air, space, missile defense, homeland security/homeland defense, warfighter, and cyber missions as they are defined by Congress, Higher Headquarters, and the Department of Defense. The goal of these services is to ensure timely, energetic, and cost effective outcomes in the development of technologies and capabilities for defense against evolving threats; to coordinate all technology base development to maximize benefits for strategic and theater missile defense and air/space technology programs; and to ensure programs are in statutory and regulatory compliance. These recurring support requirements are categorized into nine functional area requirements: Programmatic and Business Initiatives; Requirements Definition, Analysis, Integration, and Planning; Concept Development and Assessment; Program/Project Analysis and Assessment; Threat Estimation and Projection; Weapons Lethality, Survivability, Electronic Warfare and Kill Assessment and Effects Estimation; Engineering and Analysis Support to Assess Technology, Models, Simulations and Prototype; Logistics Assessment; and Environmental, Treaty and Security Compliance.The SETAC 2010 requirement is anticipated to be executed as a 100% set-aside for small business concerns and awarded on a competitive, multiple-award basis considering all qualified small businesses submitting proposals.

The planned business arrangement for this contemplated effort is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (MAIDIQ) task ordering vehicle that utilizes Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) task order types. It is anticipated that this effort will consist of a base ordering period of two (2) years and an optional ordering period of an additional 3 years, and will include a program-level ceiling value of $997,000,000 that will be shared among all prime contract awardees. Potential offerors are advised that performance of these advisory and assistance services may create potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) as contemplated by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.505; therefore, stringent OCI provisions will be included in the solicitation and any resulting contracts, and detailed OCI mitigation plans will be required.
