Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. This Executive Summary is provided as a synopsis of important and relevant features of this solicitation. If conflict exists between this summary and the provisions of the solicitation, the provisions of the solicitation govern.

Offerors are required to submit their proposals in two steps, in accordance with the following schedule:

Step 1: Volume 1 – No later than Thursday, November 19, 2015, 1:00PM Eastern Standard Time

Step 2: Volumes 2-5 for Force Projection Pool and Volumes 2-6 for Train & Sustain Pool – No later than Tuesday, December 1, 2015, 1:00PM Eastern Standard Time

Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with paragraph L.5 Proposal Preparation Instructions.

2. This acquisition is being issued under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 37 and

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 237, which describes the policy and procedures for procuring services in a performance based contracting environment. This solicitation is for Department of Defense

Language Interpretation and Translation Enterprise II (DLITE II) service support. This contract will be used to support DoD and other federal agencies, as required. The intent of this solicitation is to address the expanded scope of linguist support for military operations and exercises throughout the world. The Government’s demand for contractor-provided foreign language support has grown substantially in terms of size and scope since the events of

9/11. The need for contract foreign language support to meet the threats to U.S. interests is expected to grow and continue to become more diverse over the anticipated contract period of performance. In turn, contractor’s proposals will need to be sufficiently comprehensive and flexible in order to successfully adapt to these changing threats and increasing requirements. As part of this strategy change, the Department of the Army (DA) made a decision to award separate contracts based on mission areas. FAR Part 15 and Subpart 16.504 procedures will be utilized for negotiated and Indefinite-Quantity contracts.

3. To meet the need for contract foreign language support, the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command

(INSCOM) intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) performance based services contracts using a BEST VALUE trade-off analysis covering the following two mission areas: 1 ) Force Projection

Operations and 2) Train and Sustain Operations. Contracts for Force Projection Operations will be awarded under full and open competition; contracts for Train and Sustain Operations will be set-aside for small business. Small businesses may propose in both mission areas; however, offerors must submit a separate proposal for each mission area. Evaluation shall be in accordance with Sections L and M of this solicitation.

4. Offerors must meet the following security requirements for their proposal to be considered responsive. The offeror must possess a current U. S. TOP SECRET (TS) facility clearance IAW DoDD 5220.22, National Industrial Security

Program Operation Manual (NISPOM). All offerors shall submit proof of the required facility clearances.
