PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION

The Department of Defense (DoD), United States Air Force (USAF), Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) at Joint Base Andrews is currently conducting market research seeking capabilities statements from potential sources, including, but not limited to, Small Businesses (SB), 8(a), HUBZone, Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned (EDWOSB), Woman- Owned (WOSB), and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that are capable of providing Administration Support.

Please review, in this order, the RFI Synopsis and the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) which are included to provide respondents a better understanding of the needs of Air Force Studies and Analysis office (SAF/SA) and the respondent's potential ability to meet the Government's requirements. The requirements for this effort include Clerical, Administrative, Secretarial, Tasker Management, and Other Tasks

The contractor shall provide dedicated Senior Level Support to fulfill tasks listed in this PWS. Senior level is defined as minimum of 5 years of experience, basic knowledge of government protocols, profound and in-depth knowledge of work. A secret security clearance is required to perform these tasks.

The Air Force anticipates utilizing Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) CLINs. The Air Force anticipates the ordering period will be a base year and four (4) option years. A multi-year contract allows for reduced staff manpower to initiate and award. This also allows stability with the eventual winner, i.e., able to sign employees to longer term contracts thus generating further efficiencies and best ensuring continuity in the support provided to the Government. Upon award of the option years, the same contractor is ready and able to deliver required services on day one without the need for transition time, or downtime, which again, creates efficiencies for the Government.

REQUIREMENTS:

The contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Administration Support.
