Facilities Acquisitions for Restoration and Modernization (FARM II)

This Special Notice announces an advisory multi-step process by the Air Force Test Center to address potential organizational conflict of interest issues for the Facilities Acquisitions for Restoration and Modernization II indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract in support of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex. Offerors are invited to submit organizational conflict of interest mitigation plans for review by May 17, 2021, and the Air Force Test Center will advise offerors by May 28, 2021 on their potential to compete based on the mitigation plans.

The objective of the Special Notice and multi-step process is to resolve any potential or actual organizational conflict of interest issues early in the acquisition process. Offerors currently performing on related Test Operations and Sustainment contracts are not eligible to participate as prime or subcontractors. All offerors expecting to submit a proposal must submit an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan by the due date for government evaluation. The mitigation plans must address business activities that could pose conflicts, evidence to mitigate concerns, and proposed approaches to mitigate conflicts through measures like segregation from affiliations, non-disclosure agreements, and procedures for changes in team members or corporate structure. The Special Notice initiates an advisory process to allow the government to provide initial feedback to offerors on their eligibility to compete based on their mitigation plans.
