B-1.1 Contract Type

This Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) non-personal, professional and executive-level mission support requirement is a vehicle to provide broad contracted technical on-site support and off-site support, in most instances in a classified environment. On-site support consists of point of service presence in workweeks normally comprising five eight-hour workdays. The objective of this contract action is to acquire technical support, technical studies and R&D projects, through award of an Indefinite-Delivery / Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ), with a combination of Fixed Price (FP) and Cost- Reimbursement (CR) Task Orders (TOs). The appropriate contract type per individual task order will be chosen based on risk; Government resources; complexity of the requirement; ability to pre-determine expected deliverables and schedule; and benefit to the Government to provide specific incentives (e.g., Fixed Price Incentive (Firm Target), Cost Plus Incentive Fee, Cost Plus Award Fee). The small business set-aside IDIQ awards (under NAICS Code 541611) will only include Fixed Price Task Orders. These TOs will provide professional and executive-level mission support services to offices of USD(AT&L).

Other services may take the form of information, advice, expert opinions, alternatives, analyses, evaluations, recommendations, training, and services to complement the Government’s expertise.

Contractor employees are expected to interface with senior officials, executives and managers across DoD, the Military Service Departments, other Federal Government Agency representatives, Executive Branch representatives, Congressional Staff, program managers, university officials, the public, and other organizations as specified in individual TOs.

B-1.1.1 Fixed Price

Fixed Price task orders will be executed to the maximum extent practicable in support of technical support services, technical studies and projects with a determinate deliverable and schedule.

B-1.1.2 Cost Reimbursement

Cost-Reimbursement task orders will typically be executed for support services, studies, or research and development projects where uncertainties exist on the requirement's solution which does not allow for the cost to be estimated with sufficient accuracy.

Cost-Reimbursement task orders do not apply to a small business set-aside IDIQ award.

B-1.2 Labor Expertise Typical of Desired Support

Each labor category is classified with one of the following education/experience levels. Contractor personnel performing work under any given labor category and associated rate must meet the corresponding requirements:

Level Requirements Advanced The Contractor shall have executive level technical, acquisition manager, or analyst experience. The contractor shall have a Master’s Degree in related field, equivalent experience/certification in a field relevant to the specific position, or substantial equivalent occupational experience.

Intermediate

The Contractor shall have significant demonstrated mid-to-executive-level technical program or acquisition manager or analyst experience with DoD advanced technology programs or the management of technical projects or equivalent occupational experience.

The contractor shall have a Master’s or Bachelor’s Degree in related field, equivalent experience/certification in a field relevant to the specific position, or substantial equivalent occupational experience.
