Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) has an ongoing requirement for Omnibus Program, Engineering and Technical Support (OPETS).

Added: Jun 20, 2012 4:45 pm *Offerors are cautioned to review the entire RFP due to revisions resulting from the Industry Day feedback.*

This requirement defines the Omnibus Program, Engineering and Technical Support (OPETS) services for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) and all subordinate Joint Project Managers (JPMs) and their offices. This is a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contract with, when applicable, performance based task orders for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) and other customers under the auspices of the Chemical Biological Defense Program (CBDP). The cumulative total of all task orders awarded to all awardees will not exceed $495,000,000 over the life of the contract. The Government anticipates that there is a strong potential for Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) to materialize over the life of the contract. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when a firm has access to nonpublic information that would give it an advantage in competing for work. Conflicts also could appear when a contractor is performing tasks that are subjective and could have a financial impact. These situations would include a company helping to prepare a statement of work and then proposing on the same project. NAICS Code 541330, Engineering Services for Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons, applies with a small business size standard exception of $35,500,000. Only offerors qualifying as a small business concern under this size standard are eligible to propose for work at the task order level within the Small Business Set-Aside Acquisition Domain. Performance of this requirement may include access or exposure to private information subject to compliance to FAR Subpart 52.224-1 and 52.224-2. Performance of this requirement does include strict prohibition of dissemination of information / publishing that is subject to compliance with client requirements and data that is subject to data right restrictions by the client. Any violation of such may result in administration of penalties.

Within this non-commercial IDIQ contract vehicle, there will be six domain support areas: Acquisition (100% Set Aside for Small Business); Logistics (Unrestricted Competition); Business and Analytical (Unrestricted Competition); Engineering and Technical (Unrestricted Competition); Information Technology (Unrestricted Competition) and Medical (Unrestricted Competition). For a further description of these domains and associated areas of interest, please see the list below. The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards in each domain and anticipates awarding at least one task order per Area of Interest (AoI) within a Domain. During a task order period of performance, subsequent work will be added to existing task orders within the appropriate AoI via modification. Offerors are permitted to propose in multiple domain support areas, but must demonstrate a total core competency in the domain for which they are proposing.

Task Orders may be issued for a one (1) year Base period and up to two (2), one (1) year Option periods. The Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) IDIQ contracts recipients must have an approved accounting system by a Government audit agency such as DCAA prior to award of a CPFF type Task Order. Those offerors not wanting to compete for a CPFF type Task Order need not have an approved accounting system in order to receive award of a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) IDIQ contract. However, FFP awardees are still subject to restrictions/guidelines associated with defective pricing. The guarantee minimum is $2,500.00 for the Base Period only. The Government envisions that multiple awards will be made; however, it reserves the right to make no award or to make a single award, if in the best interest of the Government. If for any reason, there are no successful proposals, or only one successful proposal, the Government reserves the right to re-open the solicitation. The Government currently estimates that Request for Proposal will be posted within the next 60 days or less. Any questions about this requirement must be submitted in writing to Lindsey Crockett at lindsey.m.crockett2.civ@mail.mil. All proposals shall be sent to the address specified in the solicitation. All responsible sources who submit a timely response will be considered for award.
