As a follow-up to the Industry Day conducted on 16 June 2016, the Air Force Installation Contracting Agency/KD (AFICA/KD), in support of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), a Department of Defense (DoD) Field Activity under the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)), operating under the authority, direction, and control of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering (ASD(R&E)), is conducting market research to determine industry capability (i.e., Large and Small Businesses to include institutions of higher learning) to perform Information Analysis Center (IAC) Technical Area Tasks (TATs) aka Task Orders, under indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity multiple award contracts.  (NOTE:  Attached is a background word document that provides the contemplated requirements and scope of the work along with the DoD IAC Program website links critical to understanding the requirements and the IAC MAC Request for Information Questionnaire). 

This market research will aid AFICA/KD and DTIC in determining whether (1) there is sufficient industry/academia interest and capability in the collective focus areas as structured and (2) whether there is sufficient Small Business interest and capability to set aside this with a dollar threshold and help determine what that dollar amount should be.  Regarding small business set-aside considerations, it is important to note that responses to this sources sought must reasonably demonstrate an expectation that offers will be obtained from at least two responsible small businesses, who have Defense Contract Audit Agency-confirmed adequate accounting systems suitable for a cost reimbursement contract, that clearly demonstrate their capability to bring the best scientific and technological resources to bear and to do so in an manner that would ensure that at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel would be expended by employees of that small business concern.  In addition, small business size status responses to this sources sought/request for information will be verified by the government via the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) before making any small business set-aside determination and as such, it is imperative that small businesses ensure their ORCA records are current and accurate (https://orca.bpn.gov/).

Industry responses shall be submitted by completing and submitting the attached Questionnaire to this announcement via email to IACMAC@us.af.mil by 4:00pm local time 15 July 2016.  Additional materials and information should not be submitted and will not be reviewed or considered.  While answers are not limited to the spaces provided in the Questionnaire (i.e., the text blocks will expand), respondents shall not alter the questionnaire format.  There is no maximum page limit to the completed Questionnaire.  This is a follow-on to the IAC Industry Day conducted on 16 June 2016 during which the IAC Program Way-Ahead contemplated acquisition strategy was announced, the slide presentation and subsequent questions and answers for which will be posted on FedBizOpps.Gov under Solicitation Number "FA8075-17-R-0001."  It is the responsibility of parties interested in this "IAC MAC" market research effort, as well as other IAC Program market research activities, to monitor Solicitation Number "FA8075-17-R-0001" at FedBizOpps.Gov and towards that end the government recommends you place yourself on the FedBizOpps.Gov "Watch This Opportunity" list, which will generate automatic email notification of any changes to the FedBizOpps.Gov announcement.  You might also take advantage of the FedBizOpps.Gov "Add Me to Interested Vendors" list should you desire that other interested parties know of your interest in these requirements.

The information being requested is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered as a commitment by the government for any purpose.  Responses are strictly voluntary and the government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the submittal of the requested information.  Any information submitted in response to this sources sought/request for information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC § 552(a).  The government does not request any proprietary information be submitted, nor shall it be liable, for any consequential damages for any proprietary information.
