Dear Industry Partners:

The purpose of this posting is to provide a second set of Draft RFP (DRFP) documents for subject solicitation and provide Government responses to an initial set of questions submitted at Industry Day. The DRFP documents include: SF33 and Sections A-K, Statement of Objectives, DD Form 254, a list of Government Furnished Information (documents not yet available), Acronym List, MDA Organizational Conflict of Interest Policy Letter, Section L and attachments, Section M, and a list of the Contract Data Items (DD1423s not yet available.) The Government is in the process of responding to the additional questions from industry. Please note that some of the unanswered questions have already been addressed in the revised documents included in this posting. Industry is invited to review the documents and provide additional feedback. However, please do not submit duplicates of a question that has already been submitted. Industry is advised that the final Request for Proposal (RFP), when posted, will supersede any draft information posted to date. The final RFP will represent the Government’s requirement. The estimated date for release of the final RFP is on or about 6 October 2010, and the estimated date for contract award is early second quarter Fiscal Year 2011.

Written comments/questions on the second set of DRFP documents are due to this office no later than 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on 13 September 2010. Contractors must submit their comments on the comments matrix (Section L, Attachment #2) via email to MDARFP10R0027@mda.mil. All comments and questions must be submitted in writing.

Verbal comments or questions will not be accepted. Please be advised that all communications concerning this acquisition (including, but not limited to, management/technical issues, pricing issues, and proposal issues) must be coordinated through the undersigned Contracting Officer.

Industry is reminded that interested offerors must register at http://www.fedbizopps.gov to receive email notification when additional information, additional solicitation documentation, amendments or future documents regarding this acquisition are issued and available for downloading. MDA will not directly send offerors the solicitation documents or any amendments. It is the interested offerors’ responsibility to periodically check this website for updates. Please note that the draft documents posted on FedBizOpps do NOT contain all of the draft RFP documents. The Government will post additional documents on FedBizOpps as they become available or in the final RFP.

This announcement is not a solicitation. This announcement does not constitute an

Invitation for Bid or Request for Proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government does not intend to pay for any information/comments or for an mailto:MDARFP10R0027@mda.mil offer submitted by industry as a result of this announcement. Thank you for your interest in the Next Generation Aegis Missile program.
