Modernizing Instrumentation Systems Test and Evaluation (MISTE)

PRESOLICITATION SPECIAL NOTICE
NUMBER: W900KK-19-R-0006
REQUIREMENT: PEO STRI Modernizing Instrumentation Systems Test and Evaluation (MISTE)
1.0 Purpose
This Presolicitation Special Notice is made in accordance with FAR 15.201(C)(5) & (8) and is considered Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposals. The purpose of this notice is to address an outstanding request that was made during the MISTE Presolicitation Conference conducted on December 10, 2018.

a. During discussions regarding the Test Network Modernization (TNM) at Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), Fort Huachuca, AZ Delivery Order (DO) to be awarded at the time of award of the MISTE Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, a question was raised by an industry participant as to whether a Network Survey (data deliverable) conducted under an unrelated contract, could be released by the Government for industry review.
b. The subject Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) was generated under Contract W900KK-17-C-0057 P00002 with Advanced IT Concepts, Inc. (AITC) awarded on September 27, 2017.
c. The Government representative stated that we would review the CDRL and if it could be released.
d. Upon the MISTE PMO review of the document, it was subsequently determined that it does not reflect current or useful information relevant to the MISTE TNM EPG DO. Posting this survey to FBO could lead to misinterpretation and confusion with the current requirement. The MISTE TNM DO requires that the successful offeror conduct their own survey after award of the order in order to avoid any ambiguity in the requirements.
e. Conferring with the PEO STRI legal counsel, it was determined that anyone still desiring to review the subject CDRL should submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request through ACC Orlando.
f. Any submission of a FOIA in this regard should be submitted directly to the assigned MISTE Contract Specialist, Joseph Candelaria.
