1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) announces its pursuit of a Multiple-Award IDIQ Acquisition Strategy. The MDA anticipates to award up to three IDIQ contracts but will award to all qualifying offerors for the development and delivery of no more than three Homeland Defense Radars. This strategy will promote competition and leverage industry innovations available to the warfighter to meet requirements. Industry is advised that the final Request for Proposal (RFP) will supersede any draft information posted to date. The MDA anticipates release of the RFP on or about 4 May 2018.

The HDR solicitation number has changed from HQ0147-17-R-0036 to HQ0147-18-R-0010. This change is NOT a cancellation of the requirements but for administrative purposes only.

This DRFP does not commit the Government to any contractual agreements or arrangements. The Government will NOT pay any costs incurred by a respondent because of this DRFP posting. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government for any procurement of supplies or services, nor does it constitute a solicitation or a promise of a solicitation in the future. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334511.

All communications concerning this acquisition must be coordinated through the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO).

Throughout the DRFP process, documents will be made available through the HDR Prime Library. Access to the Prime HDR Library will only be granted to prime industry participants cleared by MDA Contracting and Security Officials. To request access to the HDR Prime Library submit an email via HDR@mda.mil with the subject line, “HQ0147-18-R-0010 HDR Prime Library Access.” All Technical Data furnished by the Government is in an “as is” condition without any warranty to its mailto:HDR@mda.mil accuracy, completeness, or adequacy (see L-2.3). If access has previously been granted to the HDR-H Prime Library, an additional request for access to the HDR Prime Library is not required.

An HDR DD Form 254 will be provided with HDR Prime Library Access approval. MDA information shall only be released to the contractor for submission preparation purposes following verification of the contractor's facility clearance and safeguarding. The DD Form 254 shall act as security guidance for the safeguarding of all HDR related information at the contractor facility.

3.0 REQUESTED INFORMATION

a. Any response to this draft RFP will be treated as information only and shall not be used as a proposal. Replies will be separated from, and have no bearing on, evaluation of proposals submitted in response to any future formal request for proposal. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. MDA does not intend to pay for the information solicited and will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this DRFP.

b. Proprietary information is neither sought nor desired by MDA. If such information is submitted, it must clearly be marked "proprietary" on every sheet containing such information, and the proprietary information must be segregated to the maximum extent practicable from other portions of the response (e.g., use an attachment or exhibit).

Respondents are responsible for adequately marking propriety information contained in their response. The Government intends to use third party, non-government (i.e., contractor) support personnel as subject matter experts in the review of responses received, including the review of any marked or unmarked proprietary information provided.

Appropriate non-disclosure agreements will be executed between the third party, non-government support personnel and the Government. A submission of a response to this DRFP constitutes the Respondent’s acknowledgement and agreement that the information provided in the response, including any marked or unmarked proprietary or source selection information, may be disclosed to these third party, non-government support personnel.

Those firms involved in the source selection process will be identified in the final RFP (see L-1.7 of the draft RFP).

4.0 ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS
