Small Business Statement The purpose of this Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside.

Background The US Air Force Strategic Missile Integration Complex (SMIC) is seeking to obtain a replacement Analog Public Address/Intercom System at Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah. The replacement Analog Public Address/Intercom will be installed and functional throughout SMIC Buildings.

SMIC is an Air Force Test facility and consists of the following Buildings: 1540, 1538, 1203, 1204, and the A Modernized (A-M) and B test launch facilities (LF). The legacy PA/IC system will remain intact and functional until the new system is installed, burned in, checked out, and accepted by the government. Then the contractor will remove and dispose of the legacy system.

Government program testing may be conducted in several of the buildings during the PA/Intercom system installation. Contractors will not be granted access to test facilities while classified testing is being conducted and should expect some delays. Contractors will have escorted access to the work areas during breaks in testing to complete the installation. Delays may be mitigated by attending regular SMIC test scheduling meetings.

Contractors will be required to provide to the government a summary of their company’s experience installing and integrating Analog Public Address/Intercom described herein and attached draft statement of work.

The contractor will provide all labor, transportation, supervision, and engineering required and procure, install, integrate, and test all equipment, hardware, cabling, and connectors required to implement and demonstrate a fully operational Analog Public Address/Intercom system.

Equipment items will be purchased and installed as a turnkey system of commercial off the shelf components.

Requirements

Reference attached Draft Statement of Work for detailed requirements.

An acceptance test plan must be developed for the Analog Public Address/Intercom system for government review and approval employing industry standards and site specific criteria. The approved plan will be executed and results delivered to the government to obtain system acceptance.
