During the conduct of this acquisition, the Acquisition Source Selection Interactive Support Tool (ASSIST) will be used by the Government to support the proposal evaluation and source selection process. A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306.

ASSIST2Industry provides the ability for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, all Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

In order to initiate the use of ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the names, company titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses of two (2) individuals that the Offeror has designated as responsible for receiving and responding to Government ENs through ASSIST2Industry. The designation of two (2) individuals is for the purpose of insuring availability of one individual if the other individual is not available. The required information regarding these two (2) individuals must be submitted with the

Offeror’s proposal and included in the cover letter.

After the solicitation’s closing date, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for each individual identified by the Offeror that has submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation.

The two individuals named by the Offeror will be authorized access to that account. Two (2) separate system generated emails will be sent to each individual. One of the emails will contain the individual’s

ASSIST2Industry username. The other email will contain the individual’s temporary password. Using the provided username and temporary password, each individual can then go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. NOTE: The first time a user logs in, the user will be required to change the temporary password before the user can proceed to use the site.

Whenever the Government issues ENs to the Offeror through ASSIST2Industry, the Government’s

Contracting Officer will notify the Offeror through a medium independent of ASSIST2Industry ( e.g., e-mail) that the Offeror has ENs in ASSIST2Industry waiting for a response. There will be no ENs in

ASSIST2Industry until such notice is issued by the Contracting Officer. Offerors can contact the

ASSIST2Industry helpdesk at (609) 562-7050 or (609) 562-7031 for any technical assistance that may be needed.

THE OFFERORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SYSTEM GENERATED EMAILS REFERRED TO ABOVE ARE

INTENDED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. RECEIPT OF THESE EMAILS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE

THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY TYPE OF EXCHANGE WITH THE OFFEROR IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR

15.306(A), (B), OR (D) (I.E., CLARIFICATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR DISCUSSIONS). ALSO, RECEIPT OF

THESE EMAILS DOES NOT SIGNIFY THAT A COMPETITIVE RANGE DETERMINATION IN ACCORDANCE

WITH FAR 15.306(C) HAS BEEN MADE OR THAT THE OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE

COMPETITIVE RANGE WHEN THAT DETERMINATION IS MADE. ALL NOTIFICATIONS THAT ANY TYPE OF

EXCHANGE WITH THE OFFEROR HAS COMMENCED AND THE OFFEROR HAS EVALUATION NOTICES (ENS)

AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO, OR ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THE OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL HAS BEEN

INCLUDED IN OR EXCLUDED FROM THE COMPETITIVE RANGE, WILL BE SENT TO THE OFFEROR BY THE

CONTRACTING OFFICER INDEPENDENTLY OF THE ASSIST2INDUSTRY.
