UPDATE POST, EFFECTIVE 18 September 2024

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS OR BIDS AND NO CONTRACT WILL

BE AWARDED AS A RESULT OF THIS UPDATED POST

The purpose of this updated post is the following:

1. Post the updated DRAFT attachments of the solicitation for this requirement for interested contractors. Reference the table below for the updated list of the DRAFT attachments. NOTE:

Original Attachment 09 – Client Authorization Letter has been removed in its entirety. Original attachments 10 thru 15 have been renumbered which ultimately changes the number of the current DRAFT solicitation attachments from 15 to 14. Due to the data limitations within SAM.gov, the DRAFT documents published on 29 August 2024 have been removed and archived.

2. Updated DRAFT attachments reflect changes since 29 August 2024 and continue as DRAFT documents effective the date of this announcement.

3. For planning purposes, note that the current contract utilizes 381 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) to meet the performance work statement’s (PWS) requirements. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity PWS and its first issued Task Order PWS to be published includes several new requirements. A contractor should consider these new requirements accordingly.

4. All documents provided with this updated announcement can change up till the publication of the formal solicitation.

5. Many documents in the ‘Bidders Library’ include Export Controlled, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Controlled Technical Data, and other sensitive documents. Therefore, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requires contractors to have an active Joint Certification Program (JCP) and an approved DD Form 2345 on file to gain access. The following procedures apply to all contractors wanting access to the ‘Bidders Library. The below procedures are only valid UP UNTIL THE RELEASE OF THE FORMAL SOLICITATION. Thereafter, contractors shall follow the instructions outlined in Attachment 04 – Section L (Solicitation Instructions, conditions, and notices to offerors):

a) Provide current JCP status and DD Form 2345 to both the Program Manager, Mr. Kenneth Friesz at kenneth.friesz@spaceforce.mil and Mr. Steven Dyer at steven.dyer.5@spaceforce.mil.

b) Provide two points of contacts’ (POCs) email address and contact number via email to the Program Manager and Contracting Officer.

c) Once a contractor’s current JCP status and two POCs are received by the Program Manager and Contracting Officer, the information will be validated. If the information provided is found to have an ‘active’ JCP and valid DD Form 2345 the contractor will be approved to receive the Bidder’s Library.

d) The Government will provide the entire Bidder’s Library via ‘DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE)’ (https://safe.apps.mil/) to the contractor’s two designated POCs. Further instructions will be provided to the contractor’s POCs once all the required information from the contractor is received and validated.

e) IMPORTANT: Contractors who have not received the Bidder’s Library but are interested should provide all above information at their earliest opportunity. Any contractor who does not provide the above information and is not validated having an ‘active’ JCP and DD Form 2345 will not be provided access to the requirement’s Bidders Library. It is in a contractor’s best interest to obtain access to the Bidders Library as early as possible. There is an extensive number of documents equating to approximately 2.7 gigabytes of data.

f) Contractors who have not provided their JCP, two POCs, a current DD Form 2345 and have not been validated for receipt of the Bidders Library are not excluded from submitting a proposal once the formal solicitation is published. A contractor would still need to complete these items and be validated thereafter if receipt of the Bidder’s Library is desired. Fulfilling these items thereafter would then permit a contractor to obtain access. However, receipt of the Bidders Library would be later than other contractors who had already fulfilled the access requirements. Again, it is in a contractor’s best interest to obtain access earlier than later.

6. A video/teleconference will be hosted by the Government on Thursday, 19 September 2024.

As of the publication of this updated announcement, the meeting’s capacity has been reached and no further meeting invitations can be extended.

During this teleconference the Government review the UPDATED DRAFT ATTACHMENTS posted with this announcement. The Government will open the meeting to receive contractors’ questions. Questions received may or may not be answered during the meeting. Questions proposed during the meeting along with other questions that a contractor would like to present must be consolidated and sent to the Government by Tuesday, 24 September 2024. Once the Government has addressed all questions received via email, a consolidated list of all questions and the Government’s answers will be published in a follow-on announcement to SAM.gov.

Contractor questions should be organized in the below manner within a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx version) document utilizing the following column headings and sequencing:

Question # Subject Attachment or RFP Section / Paragraph #

Document Paragraph #

Question/Comment

During the meeting, the Government will also demonstrate certain tools, functions, and instructions that are available. This conference will be facilitated through the Microsoft Teams platform to allow all interested contractors to participate.

7. There have been no changes to the Bidder’s Library since the Government’s post on 29 August 2024. If any changes do occur prior to the release of the formal solicitation, the Government will identify such and automatically distribute all additions and communicate such changes to the contractor’s POCs who had previously received the documents via DoD Safe.

8. Reminder: All documents provided with this updated announcement are DRAFT documents and subject to change up till the publication of the formal solicitation.
