About this opportunity
The Missile Defense Agency is seeking quality and mission assurance services through the TEAMS Next Quality and Mission Assurance contract. A draft request for information was released seeking industry feedback on the attached statement of work and Sections L and M through a comment matrix. Comments are due to the agency by March 3, 2020 to inform revisions prior to solicitation. The agency will evaluate proposals from small businesses to provide quality and assurance services in support of the agency's mission.
The opportunity is set aside for total small business and will likely be classified under PSC D302, quality control. As the incumbent, the agency is seeking feedback on the draft RFI from current quality and mission assurance contractors supporting the TEAMS program to further define requirements. No minimum or maximum contract values were included in the pre-solicitation notice, though as an ongoing services contract the eventual award is likely to be in the millions of dollars with a multi-year period of performance.

PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE
HQ08585-20-R-0002 / Quality and Mission Assurance
This pre-solicitation notice is posted in accordance with FAR 5.204. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to issue a solicitation to procure quality and mission assurance services for the Missile Defense Agency. The QMA requirement consists of the development, implementation, sustainment, and execution of both Missile Defense System (MDS) and program-level quality assurance policies, requirements, and programs supporting MDS and program level system quality assurance risk management processes. This involves supporting quality assurance conduct of system demonstration activities, including flight and ground tests, at both the MDS and program levels. Activities required include support of parts, materials and processes; configuration management; manufacturing supporting the MDS; and program level technical risk identification and management processes.
This requirement will be solicited as a 100% small business set-aside using source selection procedures in FAR Part 15. MDA anticipates award of a single Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) type contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition will be 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and the Small Business Size Standard will be 1250 employees. It is anticipated that award will result in a single, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract for a base period of three (3) years and two (2), one-year options. This requirement will use best value trade off procedures in determining the successful offer. The places of performance primarily include: Huntsville, AL, Dahlgren, VA, Fort Belvoir, VA, Kirtland AFB, NM, Vandenberg AFB, CA, Courtland, AL, Colorado Springs, CO, Joplin, MO, Promontory, UT, Salt Lake City, UT, Fort Greely, AK, Orlando, FL, Moorestown, NJ, among others.
