Market Research Questionnaire

War Reserve Materiel Program (WRM) Air Combat Command, Acquisition Management and Integration Center (ACC AMIC), Langley AFB VA, anticipates procuring a follow-on contract for the provision of services for the operation, maintenance and support of United States Air Forces Central Command (USAFCENT) War Reserve Materiel Program (WRM) and Exercise & Contingency Logistics Support. As part of the Government’s continuous information exchange with Industry while formulating the acquisition strategy, the Government requests your assistance in determining if this requirement should be set aside 100% for small business concerns under the auspices of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19.

In order for the Contracting Officer to make a set aside determination for any acquisition, there must be a reasonable expectation that offerors can satisfactorily perform contract requirements and that award will be made at fair market prices. Total set asides cannot be made unless such a reasonable expectation exists. The Government believes it is mutually beneficial to all parties if this determination is made as early as possible in the acquisition process. If your firm intends to submit a proposal as Prime contractor for this effort, you must respond to the following questions regarding your experience, capabilities, and intentions. Please limit your entire response to no more than one (1) page for each question. The Government is not requesting technical and/or management proposals at this time. Your responses will be used solely for the market research purposes in the formulation of the acquisition strategy.

1) Do you intend to submit a proposal as Prime contractor for this requirement?

2) Submit evidence of experience and ability to provide program management of a large multi-platform and technically complex facilities support services type contract.

3) Submit evidence of experience and ability to provide the types of support required in the draft PWS. Submit evidence of experience and ability to provide services OCONUS along with your ability to provide appropriate personnel in support of mission requirements. Please include brief information on your company’s managerial, technical and financial resources to be able to meet the program requirements as detailed in the draft PWS. Refer to the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) (Attachment 2) and Draft DD 254 -- DoD Contract Security Classification Specification (Attachment 3).

4) Address your company’s ability to manage and integrate subcontract efforts.

7) Identify whether your company is either large or small under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 561210, Facilities Support Services. If you are a small business and are requesting a set aside action other than a 100% small business set aside, please identify the appropriate set aside program for which you wish to be considered.

8) As a Small Business, how will you comply with FAR 52.219-14?

9) For the major requirements (as described in the PWS) that your company does not possess an organic capability in, fully address how you’d procure those capabilities and with whom. Also, please address past performance for those procured capabilities as it relates to WRM.
