DOD INFORMATION ANALYSIS CENTERS (IAC) MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACT (MAC)

2nd REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Background:

This RFI Questionnaire is issued as a result of questions from industry regarding the Draft RFP (FA8075-17-R-0001). This RFI seeks to obtain information to be used in developing an optimal strategy for Small and Large Businesses and the Government IAC program to be successful under the IAC MAC. Based on the questions received the following is provided to assist in completing a response to this RFI.

Current Task Order (TO) data from the existing IAC program:

· $10M and below equal 27% of all TOs issued per Fiscal Year (21 TOs, valued at $94M)

· $15M and below equal 38% of all TOs issued per Fiscal Year (29 TOs, valued at $192M) Identify your business size for NAIC 541712 with a size standard of 1,000 employees:

Please select from one of the following strategy options under consideration:

Option 1 |_| Have an automatic Small Business (SB) Set-aside dollar threshold for the SB Set-aside Pool 2, in which the SBs awarded a contract in Pool 2 would only compete for TOs in Pool 2, at or below the SB Set-aside threshold. Pool 2 SB Offerors would be evaluated for a contract award based on criteria specific to Pool 2 (less rigorous than Pool 1 evaluation criteria). As part of this option the Government may consider changing the SB Set-aside threshold from the $10M stated in the Draft RFP. Considering this identify a preferred amount between $10M and $15M for the SB Set-aside $____________________. Under this option SBs could submit a separate proposal for each Pool (to be evaluated per that Pool’s criteria). Please identify to which Pool(s) you would intend to propose under this option.

|_| Pool 1 – Unrestricted Full and Open (F&O) |_| Pool 2 – Small Business Set-Aside |_| Pool 3 – Unrestricted F&O CBRN Labs

Option 2 |_| $10M threshold for the automatic SB Set-aside, in which SBs receiving an IAC MAC Pool 2 award would have the opportunity to compete for orders in both Pools 1 and 2. However, to receive an IAC MAC Pool 2 award under this option, and then be able to propose on the Task Orders above the $10M threshold, SBs will be evaluated against the Unrestricted F&O Pool 1 evaluation criteria in the current language stated in the IAC MAC Draft RFP.

Please provide thought process behind either option you have selected below:
