COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

FROM: 763d Specialized Contracting Squadron (763 SCONS) 510 POW/MIA Drive, Bldg P-40 Scott AFB IL 62225

SUBJECT: Simplified Acquisition Proposal Request (SAPR) FA445219RA019, Yakima City

1. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. It is the intent of the 763rd Specialized Contracting Squadron (763 SCONS) to award a Single Source, firm-fixed-priced (FFP) contract to the City of Yakima for the use of Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field (YKM) on an “as-needed” basis to serve as an alternate military aircraft landing location to Selah Airstrip from 06 Sep 19 through 29 Sep 19 in support of the 2019 Mobility Guardian Exercise (MGE). The MGE is the premier Mobility Air Forces (MAF) readiness exercise which helps train and improve the abilities of the United States (US) and its international partners’ air mobility operations skills. Primarily, Selah Airstrip (a single runway approximately 4,600 feet in length), located on the Yakima Training Center, along with Grant County International Airport (GCIA), will be utilized to meet 2019 MGE training objectives. On 13 Aug 19, 763 SCONS awarded a contract to the Port of Moses Lake for use of GCIA, contract number FA445219CA010. A contract for use of Selah Airstrip is not required since the Yakima Training Center is owned/operated by the United States Army.

Due to the size of Selah Airstrip, the runway can only receive one aircraft at a time.

Therefore, in order to ensure 2019 MGE training objectives are met, an alternate airfield for military aircraft to land within close proximity to the Yakima Training Center (should Selah Airstrip be unavailable to receive aircraft) is required on an “as-needed” basis.

Close proximity from the Yakima Training Center to the alternate airfield is required, and vital to mission success, so that contingency response forces can continue critical operations without changing the logistical footprint. Based on market research, YKM, a department of the City of Yakima, is located approximately 13-miles from the Yakima Training Center, making it the closest airfield to the Yakima Training Center that is capable of serving as an alternate landing location to Selah Airstrip. Therefore, the Government anticipates a Single Source award to the City of Yakima utilizing FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures. This requirement is being solicited in accordance with (IAW) FAR 13, as supplemented.

2. There are three attachments to this SAPR: Attachment 1 – Information Sheet, Attachment 2 – Provisions and Clauses, and Attachment 3 – Airport Use Agreement. A response to this request shall consist of completion of Attachment 1 and applicable specifications (or a submitted proposal in contractor format as long as it, at a minimum, depicts unit and extended prices (rounded to the nearest dollar), applicable specifications and delivery periods) and Attachment 2 Provisions and Clauses, specifically provision FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items (if SAM is up-to-date, then submit this attachment blank).

3. Basis of Award: Award will be made IAW FAR 12 and 13 procedures and the procedures specified in this SAPR. A contract may be awarded to a contractor who is deemed responsible IAW FAR 9.1, as supplemented, and whose proposal conforms to the SAPR's requirements and is judged to represent a technically acceptable proposal with a complete and reasonable price. First, the Government will evaluate the proposal for technical acceptability as follows:

Technically acceptable- proposal meets all the requirements, as outlined in Attachments 1, 2, and 3.

Technically unacceptable- proposal does not meet all the requirements, as outlined in Attachments 1, 2, and 3.

Next, if the proposal is determined technically acceptable, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s price for price completeness, reasonableness, and unbalanced pricing. If the proposal is technically acceptable and the price is complete, reasonable, and balanced, then the proposal represents the best value to the Government and award will be made. If the proposal is not technically acceptable, the Government will consider the correction potential and may enter into interchanges with the offeror. Interchanges will take place as necessary or deemed appropriate by the Government. Applicable definitions are outlined below:

Completeness - The proposal will be reviewed to determine the extent to which all the price elements have been addressed. The review will determine the adequacy of the contractor's proposal in addressing and fulfilling the SAPR requirements.

Reasonableness - For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business.

The Government will determine prices fair and reasonable through the use of one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-2 and 13.106-3(a).

Unbalanced pricing - Contractors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. The Government shall analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items or sub-line items. An offer that is determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

4. The Government intends to make award based on the initial proposal submission without conducting interchanges. Therefore, the proposal should contain the Contractor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to hold interchanges if, during the evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Interchanges are fluid interaction(s) between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the contractors that may address any aspect of the proposal and may or may not be documented in real time. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges using Interchange Notices (INs). Contractor responses to INs will be considered in making the award selection decision. Interchanges may be conducted with one, some, or all contractors. The Government is not required to conduct interchanges with any or all contractors responding to this SAPR. This acquisition follows the ordering procedures outlined in FAR 13, as supplemented.

5. This SAPR in no way obligates the Government for any costs incurred by the contractor for this requirement. The Government reserves the right not to award a contract in response to this SAPR. Prior to commencement of any activities associated with performance of this requirement, the Government will issue a written directive or contractual document signed by the CO with appropriate consideration established.

6. Proposals shall be submitted by email to brooke.lorig.1@us.af.mil no later than 23 Aug 19 at 12:00 PM Central Time. Any proposals received after the SAPR closing date and time may be considered “late” and may not be considered for award.
