2.0 General Instructions.

Points of Contact: Below are the only points of contact for this acquisition. All questions or concerns shall be e-mailed to the CO and CS.

2.0.1 This acquisition will use a combination of oral presentations with some limited written submission.

2.1. Instructions to Offerors (ITO) – Commercial Items

2.1.1 The Offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by this ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The Offeror shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in this solicitation. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this ITO will result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume the Government has no prior knowledge of its facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal.

2.1.2 System for Award Management (SAM): Offerors will not be eligible to receive a contract award from a Department of Defense (DoD) activity unless they are registered in SAM. Offerors must be registered in the SAM Database prior to award of any contract. Firms must register on a one-time basis and annually confirm accuracy and completeness of registration information. On-line registration and instructions can be accessed at https://www.sam.gov/index.html.

2.1.3 Tier Definitions. AFSTS consists of two (2) tiers covering differing levels of qualifications for each; separated by level of complexity value, structure and definition of problems for the applicable mission partner. Offerors cannot propose as Prime and Sub in the same or both tiers. Offerors cannot perform as Prime and Sub in the same or both tiers. No exceptions. This does not apply to Non-Traditional Small Businesses. The Fortune 500 list can be found at https://fortune.com/fortune500/. Fortune requirements for each tier defined below.

2.1.3.1 Tier 1 - Corporate experience successfully performing studies, research and analysis and developing transformational strategies for Fortune 1-100 companies and experience advising C-suite executives and large organizations through highly complex, undefined, and unstructured problems and;

Corporate experience successfully assisting the Air Force (or other federal entity of similar scope and complexity) and advising senior leaders through developing transformational strategies; translating and incorporating commercial best practices through highly complex, undefined, and unstructured problems

2.1.3.1.1 For the purpose of Tier 1, the term “highly complex, undefined, and unstructured problems” means the problems faced in this tier of effort are usually large in scale with little context or definition provided. The challenges are applicable to the Air Force and usually to the Department of Defense (DoD) enterprise, if not the federal Government as a whole (e.g. Category Management). The request comes from senior levels of the Air Force, require engagement across multiple stakeholder communities (internal and external to the Air Force and/or DoD), and usually have political or statutory impacts. There are (potentially) no existing best practices in Government to leverage.

2.1.3.2 Tier 2 - Corporate experience successfully performing studies, research and analysis and developing transformational strategies and implementation plans for Fortune 1-300 companies and experience advising C-suite executives and large organizations through moderate to complex problems and; Corporate experience successfully assisting the AF (or other federal entity of similar scope and complexity) and advising senior leaders through developing transformational strategies and implementation plans; translating and incorporating commercial best practices through moderate to complex problems

2.1.3.2.1 For the purpose of Tier 2, the term “moderate to complex problems” means the requirements of this tier are complex, but are usually understood with a goal defined. The scope may involve stakeholders internal and external to the Air Force but are usually limited to the requiring organization within the Air Force. The challenges are not political and have no statutory impact. The coordination and collaboration effort needed to resolve the problem is less challenging and requires less time to complete.
