Background:

The MDA is responsible for developing and fielding an integrated, layered Missile Defense System (MDS) to protect the United States and its allies from missile attack by providing homeland and regional missile defense. The MDS layered approach includes sensors, kinetic energy systems, directed energy systems, battle management, and command control elements that will engage threats at all ranges and throughout the battlespace.

Based on current information available, the MDA anticipates a 5-year 8(a) sole source contract to Kupono Government Services, LLC, a small business concern located in Orlando, Florida.

Kupono has demonstrated the capability to provide qualified personnel to support operations of all auxiliary machinery systems and associated equipment in the flight test facilities.

The purpose of this sources sought notice is for market research to identify interested and capable alternative 8(a) sources for providing surveillance and monitoring services for the equipment and systems installed. As well as, planning and coordinating preventative and corrective maintenance activities. All responses received will be considered for meeting the MDA’s requirements and determination of final sole source or competitive 8(a) acquisition strategy for the follow-on contract.

Description:

This is a follow-on requirement in support of all Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) auxiliary machinery systems and associated equipment in the Re-constitutable Deck House (RDH), Deck House Support Building (DHSB) and Launch Facility (LF) at Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) in Kauai, Hawaii.

Respondents to this request shall have the ability to provide personnel for monitoring and/or operating the following systems, and report any change in equipment functionality or configuration to Facility Manager:

• Fire suppression system

• Power generation and distribution systems

• HVAC systems

• Potable and cooling (chilled, condensate, and demineralized) water systems

• Low Pressure air compression/drying systems

• 400Hz static frequency converters

• Universal Control Console (UCC)

• Power Control and Management System (PCMS)

• Power Quality Management System (PQMS)

• Building Automation System (BAS) interface

Contractor operators will be primarily stationed at the UCC, in Central Control Station/Combat System Maintenance Central (CCS/CSMC) that provides a monitoring point for Mission Critical Support Systems, listed above. The Contractor may be required to investigate auxiliary system status at the physical locations of the systems within AAMDTC.

Contractor will interface with the AAMDTC Facilities Manager to provide input to the operations and maintenance activities at AAMDTC in addition to assessing and responding to emergent need requests. The contractor may be required to act as security escort and interface with other organizations performing maintenance actions within AAMDTC facilities.

Contractor will be responsible for coordinating maintenance activities and manage overall operations and support for mechanical and electrical systems, operate and monitor, and perform initial emergency/casualty response for all auxiliary machinery equipment at

AAMDTC.

Provide surveillance and monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the equipment and systems installed in the RDH/DHSB/LF. Monitoring requires a minimum two person team to perform routine roving visual inspection of the building to check for anomalous facility conditions and requires navigation of stairwells and ladders.

Security Clearance:

The highest level of personnel and facility security classifications for this effort will be at the Secret level.

Response Instructions:

Vendors who are interested in this requirement and have the requisite capabilities shall submit a Capabilities Statement by the date and time required in this announcement. The capability statement shall include the Vendor Demographics information specified in the chart below. At a minimum, capability statements shall identify technical capabilities, key personnel expertise and qualifications, relevant experience in management and surveillance, of equipment and systems, as well as planning and coordinating preventive and corrective maintenance activities, installations, and repairs. Partial solutions will not be accepted.

The capability statement shall not exceed 10 pages.

Markings:

Proprietary information is neither sought nor desired by the MDA. If proprietary information is submitted, it must clearly be marked "proprietary" on every sheet containing such information and the proprietary information must be segregated to the maximum extent practicable from other portions of the response (e.g., paragraph markings, image markings, or use an attachment or exhibit). Respondents are responsible for adequately marking proprietary information contained in their response. Respondents to this request shall mark, protect, and transmit DoD Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 5200.48 “DoD CUI Program.” Do not send any classified information.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests from outside the Government for copies of contract qualifications and proposals submitted to federal agencies. If a respondent’s submissions contain information that he/she believes should be withheld from such requestors under FOIA on the grounds that they contain “trade secrets and commercial or financial information” [5 USC§552(b)(4)], the respondent should mark its submissions in the following manner:

The following notice should be placed on the title page: “Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the respondent to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the FOIA. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on page(s) [enter page number(s)].” Each individual item considered privileged or confidential under FOIA should be marked with the following notice: “The data or information is considered by the submitter to be confidential or privileged, and is not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.”

Response Review:

The MDA intends to use government and third party, non-government (i.e., contractor) support personnel as subject matter experts in the review of responses received, including the review of any marked or unmarked proprietary information provided. Appropriate nondisclosure agreements will be executed between the third party, non-government support personnel and the MDA. As a general policy, contractors providing advisory and assistance services to the Agency, particularly in the engineering, acquisition support, and quality functional areas, cannot develop or support the development of the Agency’s procurement efforts. This separation of contractual responsibilities is critical to ensuring the Agency obtains independent and objective advice.

Submission of a response under this Source Sought constitutes a grant of authority by the respondent to the MDA to allow access to these third party individuals to any content of the submission that may constitute material within the ambit of the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C.

1905.

Respondents will not be notified of receipt or of the results of any review of this Source Sought;

however, the Contracting Officer may request clarification of submissions.
