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 for the Air and Ground Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) training Support which supports MQ-1 and MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) formal training. Provide references and points of contact.

3) Include information on your company’s technical and financial abilities that will allow you to meet the requirements of a program of this magnitude. Refer to the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) (Attachment 1).

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

5) Include evidence of your company’s ability to provide program management of geographically-dispersed locations for similar type services IAW the Draft PWS.

6) Address the up-front capital investment and the company’s ability to: 1) Hire and maintain qualified personnel; 2) Quality Control capabilities to meet the Government’s inspection/quality requirements.

7) Identify whether your company is either large or small under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 611430, Professional and Management Development Training. 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.
