MEMORANDUM FOR ALL POTENTIAL OFFERORS

FROM: AFTC/PZZ (Arnold)

SUBJECT: Test Operations and Sustainment (TOS) II Contract Competition - Request for Proposal (RFP) Number FA9101-22-R-B001

1. The Department of the Air Force invites your company to submit a proposal for the TOS II service contract for Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC). We are seeking the most effective, productive, and efficient contract to fulfill AEDC's test mission requirements.

2. We have appreciated your ideas and comments since the inception of this acquisition early last year. Beginning with a comprehensive Request for Information (RFI) process, we have held three industry days, seven site visits including to AEDC’s geographically separated units (GSUs), engaged in one-on-one meetings, released a draft RFP (DRFP), and conducted a multi-step advisory process focused on addressing potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI) issues. Companies who did not participate in these industry opportunities may find it beneficial to visit the System for Award Management at sam.gov and the TOS II Competition Library at https://www.arnold.af.mil/Home/TOSII/ for all of the documents currently available for public review.

3. Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

Proposals shall be valid for 280 days after submission of proposals.

4. Foreign competitors, including United States companies with foreign ownership or control, are not permitted to propose at the prime contractor level in the TOS II acquisition.

In accordance with DFARS 252.225-7048, Export-Controlled Items, 22 CFR Parts 120-130 and 15 CFR Parts 730-774 apply to this solicitation. U.S. prime contractors desiring to use foreign subcontractors or employ foreign nationals / non-U.S. citizens must comply with DFARS 252.225-7048 and all applicable laws and regulations regarding export-controlled items.

5. The attachment to this letter serves as a guide to the changes between the DRFP and the Final RFP (FRFP). This is a guide only and should not be used as a substitute for carefully reviewing the content of the FRFP. All offerors are responsible for reviewing the FRFP and responding to the requirements listed therein. A highlight of those changes includes:

a. Changing the acquisition strategy to only Cost-Plus-Award-Fee with Firm-

Fixed-Price Transitions

b. Adding PWS paragraph 3.26, Industrial Security, and adjusting the Cost

Model to reflect these changes

c. Revising the relative importance of the evaluation factors

d. Removing OCI as a Measure of Merit and including it in the Contract

Documentation Volume to be evaluated as part of the responsibility determination

6. As a reminder, your award fee pool must be at least 5% of the fee-bearing elements.

See Solicitation Attachment 12, Section L Instructions to Offerors, paragraph L-3.4.5.9, Award Fee Pools.

7. Communication between the Government and industry regarding this solicitation should now be addressed only through the Procuring Contracting Officer, Ms. Rebecca Gardner at aedc.sso@us.af.mil. In her absence, you may contact Ms. Kristi Martin, Contract Specialist, at aedc.sso@us.af.mil.

8. We expect substantial competition for this acquisition and ultimately outstanding performance from the successful offeror. Proposals are due in two phases. The first phase consists of the Past Performance Information Volume, due 20 June 2023 at 2:00 PM central daylight time (CDT). The second phase consists of the Contract Documentation Volume, Technical Proposal Volume, and Cost / Price Proposal Volume and is due 30 June 2023 at 2:00 PM CDT.
