This posting services as the official Synopsis for the forthcoming Request for Proposal in support of the Technical Information Engineering Services (TIES), in accordance with the established guidance set forth in FAR part 5.2.

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) has a proposed a requirement for a three (3) year Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contract in support of the Technical Information Engineering Services (TIES). The TIES program supports the U.S Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD). The support services to be acquired include technical, engineering, program management, prototype development, and fabrication and operations expertise in support of intelligence, electronic warfare and information system development. The contract will call for non-personal services encompassing all elements of the acquisition cycle. Support areas include mission analysis, concept exploration, prototype development, equipment integration, technology demonstration/validation, full-scale engineering development, test and evaluation, fabrication/prototyping, and fielding. The primary Place of Performance is Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD. The associated NAICS code for this effort is 541712.

The total minimum award for the basic IDIQ contract award is $2,500 and will be provided prior to contract expiration. The total of all Task Orders issued to the multiple award contract holders collectively under the TIES MA IDIQ contract(s) shall not exceed the maximum ceiling amount of $994 Million. The TIES acquisition will be conducted on the basis of a partial set aside in accordance with FAR 19.502-3 and will consist of two (2) suites of contract awards. One suite will be a Non-Set-Aside (Unrestricted) Suite and the other will be a partial Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) (Restricted) Suite. As noted in FAR 10.002 (d) (2), the Government's need for this requirement cannot be met by the use of commercial items or services; therefore, the Government does not intend to use FAR Part 12 procedures for this acquisition.

THIS POSTING CONSTITUTES A PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS. DO NOT SUBMIT PROPOSALS AT THIS TIME. Answers to previously submitted Industry Questions to the TIES DRAFT RFP, posted on 7 May 2013, are also provided along with this synopsis as an attachment.
