About this file

This notice requests market research input for a planned Rescue Instructional and Training Services contract to provide Pararescue 5-level and 7-level upgrade training. The contractor must provide personnel, aircraft, vehicles, equipment, facilities, and instruction to conduct training in medical rescue, parachute operations, combat marksmanship, technical rescue, and other specialties. An industry day will provide more details on acquisition milestones, and responses are due by specified dates. The applicable NAICS code is 611512 with a $27.5 million size standard. The government seeks input on the NAICS and will determine whether this will be a full and open competition or a small business set-aside. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, and no contract will result, but the government is gathering information to develop its acquisition strategy and future solicitation.

Table 2 – Services Summary
Performance ObjectivePWS ParagraphPerformance Threshold
(1) Contractor maintains qualified workforceSection 1.0 and 3.0Performance is acceptable when the contractor maintains sufficient qualified personnel to meet mission requirements during the surveillance period

A defect occurs whenever a training Phase must be rescheduled due to non-availability of qualified contractor instructor or other required support personnel.

(2) Instructs students on TCS of each required CFETP line item(s) and as outlined by the government-approved Lesson Plan Section 3.0 Performance is acceptable when all students meet the TCS CFETP line item requirements as certified by 68th RQS instructors Contractor Instructor(s) complete Phase training with no more than one (1) defect per Phase, and No repeat defects.

Program Risks Evolving government requirements – New CFETP Drying Tower Adequacy Aircraft (FW & RW) Do Not Meet DOD/FAA & CARB standards Availability during scheduled jump/Alternate Insertion/Extraction (AIE) / Full Mission Profile (FMP) ops Contract Deliverables Medical Phase - Approved LTT Providers Schedule, Logistics/Training Plans accuracy & timeliness Trained and Qualified Work Force

* Not all inclusive

Risk EventHandling Strategy
Evolving Government Requirements
If the government fails to finalize and publish the TCS’ for the new CFETP prior to Final RFP release, then offerors will not have access to the most current Tasks, Conditions, & Standards for 7-level and 5-level COI resulting in graduation of less qualified, possibly non-deployable students and incurring additional government costs associated with providing additional in-garrison or TDY training to close training gaps.Control

The Government will incorporate Draft TCS’ into the Final RFP if final product is not already released. The Government will modify the contract post-award to address price delta incurred by difference between Draft and Final TCS’.

Drying Tower Adequacy
If the contractor fails to provide an adequate, or altogether fails to provide a parachute drying tower that meets PWS requirements, then there will be an increased number of damaged parachute systems, or the requisite number of parachute systems will be unavailable for training use due to constrained Government resources.Control

Contractor required to provide an acceptable approach to drying parachute systems. Approach must demonstrate how wet parachute systems will be transported, handled and dried according to PWS and parachute system specifications. The approach will be evaluated during source selection.

Trained and Qualified Work Force
If the contractor fails to provide and retain trained/qualified personnel, adequate staffing levels and the proper functional skill mix, then contract performance thresholds and requirements may not be met, resulting in negative impact to mission success.Control

Contractor required to provide an acceptable human resources approach to attract, train, and retain qualified management and technical personnel. The plan includes work force manning levels by functional level and skill mix. The approach will be evaluated during source selection.

Aircraft (Fixed and/or Rotary Wing)
Risk EventHandling Strategy
Do Not Meet DOD/FAA & CARB Standards
If the contractor fails to provide aircraft that meet DOD/FAA (FW) and/or CARB (RW) standards, then Government personnel may not use the aircraft and the associate Course of Instruction (COI) will not be accomplished resulting in less qualified students and increased Government costs associated with achieving the training objectives from in-garrison or temporary duty (TDY) sources.Control

Contractor required to meet requisite standards for FW & RW platforms. The Government will train and designate GFR/GGR personnel as required to surveil Contractor adherence to requisite standards. Contractor certifications and aircraft suitability will be evaluated during source selection.

Availability During Scheduled Jump/AIE operations If Contractor-provided aircraft (FW/RW) are unavailable due to unscheduled maintenance (hard break) or other logistical reasons during scheduled 5-level or 7-level air operations, then operations will not occur, resulting in less qualified students and increased Government costs associated with achieving the training objectives from in-garrison or TDY sources.

Control Contractor required to provide approach to objectively achieve 100%, but no less than 80% of scheduled training events. As necessary, the Government and Contractor will adjust the effected class’s schedule to prioritize missed air operations within the remaining class schedule. The Government will ensure air operations occur early in class schedule during planning cycle to facilitate adjustments. The Contractor’s approach to meeting the availability rate will be evaluated during source selection.

Deliverables
Risk EventHandling Strategy
Medical Phase - Approved LTT Providers
If the Contractor fails to use LTT providers from the Government-approved providers list, then the Contractor will be unable to provide LTT models for students resulting in less realistic training that does not meet 5-level training TCS.Transfer and Control

Government will provide approved vendor’s list in bidders’ library. Contractor required to provide approach to meet requirements of DFARS Clause 252.235-7002. Government will surveil performance. Contractor approach will be evaluated during source selection.

Schedule, Logistics Plan, & Training Plan Accuracy & Timeliness
If the contractor fails to provide effective and efficient plans and scheduling management, then contract performance thresholds and requirements may not be met, resulting in negative impact to training mission success.Control

Contractor required to provide an acceptable deliverables management approach. Contractor approach must include process controls employed in Quality Control Plan. Contracting Officer Representative (COR) oversight will be 100% of deliverables inspected for timeliness and quality. Contractor approach to deliverables management will be evaluated during source selection.

DoD Source Selection Procedures

Conduct Price Analysis – normally established by Adequate Price Competition (APC): FAR-preferred technique Adequate Price Competition (APC) is a price based on Two or more responsible offerors, competing independently;

Submit priced offers that satisfy gov’t expressed requirement;

Award made to offeror whose proposals represents best value/LPTA; and No finding that price of successful offeror is unreasonable Determine if prices are balanced Exists when price of one or more CLINs is significantly overstated (despite acceptable total evaluated price) Mathematically unbalanced – offer is based on nominal prices for some work and enhanced prices for other work Realism – exceptionally low Price Evaluation Process

Evaluation Process AWOD / Competitive Range The SSA will decide, based on Initial Evaluation Activities (per the CO’s recommendation), to either:

Award Without Discussions (AWOD), OR Establish Competitive Range (CR) and enter into Discussions

AWOD is the desired approach (submit best proposal with original submission)

Offerors notified if entering Discussions and if eliminated from the competitive range If eliminated, can request pre- or post-award debriefing

Evaluation Process Discussions & Final Proposal Revisions Conducting Discussions Release ratings Release Evaluation Notices (EN) Receive and evaluate response to ENs from offeror(s) May need to follow-up with multiple rounds of ENs Government will make a determination when to close discussions based on evaluation of responses All offerors now technically acceptable, or Eliminate offeror(s) from competitive range After close of discussions, CO will issue a request for Final Proposal Revisions (FPR) to make the award recommendation
