A. The Naval Information Warfare Center, Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic) is issuing this MS for determining marketplace capabilities and is soliciting information from potential sources to provide E3 Test, Evaluation, Training, and Range Services support of C6ISR Systems at NIWC Atlantic, with potential travel to several CONUS and OCONUS locations identified in the draft PWS.

B. The Government anticipates this effort to be a firm-fixed price (FFP) type contract with pre-priced contract line-item numbers (CLINs) for labor and calibration, and cost-reimbursement only CLINs for material and travel for a five

(5) year ordering period. In addition, an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity single award contract is being considered for this requirement.

C. The Government’s estimated level of effort for this procurement, based upon Full

Time Equivalents (FTE’s) will be approximately 15 per year. Each FTE is estimated to be 1,920 hours per year.

For respondents planning to propose an SSE arrangement that complies with the requirements set forth in 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting, or JV, Table 1 must be completed for each of the SSE(s) or JV members. In this case, additional Table 1 listings may be submitted on additional pages. If the prime contractor is planning to propose an SSE(s) or JV arrangement, the prime will also provide a summary table representing the combined percentage of the task that the prime and SSE(s) or JV members can perform (this value cannot exceed 100%). Respondents shall fill in Columns B and C of Table 1.

a. The percentages listed in Column A represent the Government’s estimated percentage of effort in each technical area that will be required relative to the overall effort of the contract.

b. Entries in Column B reflect the percentage work in each technical area that a respondent can accomplish as described above. The values in each of the rows of this column will be between 0 and 100%.

c. Values in Column C represent the percentages of the overall contract that the respondent can accomplish in each task area. For each task area, this is determined by multiplying the percentage listed in Column A with the percentage entered in Column B. The sum of the values in Column C represents the percentage of the overall contract that the respondent can accomplish. This value cannot exceed 100%.
