INITIAL POST:

THIS IS A FORMAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)/SOLICITATION.

Proposals in response to this solicitation are due by 4:00 PM EST on Wednesday, 03 October 2018.

This acquisition is for a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract (MAC IDIQ) for Vehicle Barriers Maintenance and Repair (VB M & R) Services to provide all personnel, labor, equipment, supplies, tools, materials, supervision, travel, periodic inspection, minor repair, and other items and services necessary to provide maintenance for Air Force vehicle barrier systems. All Contiguous United States (CONUS) Air Force installations will be required to acquire VB M & R services to include preventive maintenance (PM), inspection, and minor repair for operational vehicle barriers on this contract under a mandatory use policy, with limited exemptions, to be issued after award by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC).

This acquisition is set-aside 100% for Small Business (SB) concerns/firms including a target of two (2) socioeconomic reserves for Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns, resulting in two (2) competitive pools. Offerors must meet the size standard of $20.5M associated with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this acquisition of 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. An Offeror's SB status will be verified using the System for Award Management (SAM) website (https://www.sam.gov). The verification process for Offerors certifying to be a WOSB concern will include verifying that the Offeror is self-certified as a WOSB concern in SAM and has submitted documents verifying its eligibility at the time of initial offer to the WOSB Program Repository (https://certify.sba.gov/).

The proposed contract shall be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), MAC IDIQ with a period of performance of one (1) base year with four (4) one-year option periods and one (1) six-month extension in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.217-8. The Government intends to issue a single solicitation and award a MAC IDIQ to a target number of eight (8) SB concerns including a target of two (2) socioeconomic reserves for WOSB concerns. Contract award is expected in March 2019. Task Orders will be competed using the Ordering Procedures found in the RFP's Addendum to FAR 52.212-4.

This acquisition will utilize Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) source selection procedures IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1 and 15.3, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. The factors to be evaluated are Technical, Past Performance, and Price. Technical and Past Performance are equal in importance and, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

Pre-proposal Conference: A pre-proposal conference for this acquisition will be conducted on 17 Sep 2018 at 09:00 AM EST. All interested offerors are strongly urged to attend. See AFFARS Provision 5352.215-9001 within the RFP for details on the pre-proposal conference, to include instructions on information Offerors should submit in order to attend.

All questions pertaining to this solicitation are due to the Contracting Office by 19 Sep 2018 at 2:00 PM EST, and all questions and answers pertaining to this solicitation will be posted with this FedBizOps posting on/around 26 Sep 2018.

All prospective Offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with no exclusions in order to be eligible for award (https://www.sam.gov/) IAW FAR 4.1102 and 9.4.

This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract nor does it obligate the Government to pay and/or reimburse respondents and/or their associates for any cost incurred to submit the requested information and/or proposal. Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available.

THIS IS A FORMAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)/SOLICITATION.

Proposals in response to this solicitation are due by 4:00 PM EST on Wednesday, 03 October 2018.

This acquisition is for a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract (MAC IDIQ) for Vehicle Barriers Maintenance and Repair (VB M & R) Services to provide all personnel, labor, equipment, supplies, tools, materials, supervision, travel, periodic inspection, minor repair, and other items and services necessary to provide maintenance for Air Force vehicle barrier systems. All Contiguous United States (CONUS) Air Force installations will be required to acquire VB M & R services to include preventive maintenance (PM), inspection, and minor repair for operational vehicle barriers on this contract under a mandatory use policy, with limited exemptions, to be issued after award by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC).

This acquisition is set-aside 100% for Small Business (SB) concerns/firms including a target of two (2) socioeconomic reserves for Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns, resulting in two (2) competitive pools. Offerors must meet the size standard of $20.5M associated with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this acquisition of 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. An Offeror's SB status will be verified using the System for Award Management (SAM) website (https://www.sam.gov). The verification process for Offerors certifying to be a WOSB concern will include verifying that the Offeror is self-certified as a WOSB concern in SAM and has submitted documents verifying its eligibility at the time of initial offer to the WOSB Program Repository (https://certify.sba.gov/).

The proposed contract shall be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), MAC IDIQ with a period of performance of one (1) base year with four (4) one-year option periods and one (1) six-month extension in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.217-8. The Government intends to issue a single solicitation and award a MAC IDIQ to a target number of eight (8) SB concerns including a target of two (2) socioeconomic reserves for WOSB concerns. Contract award is expected in March 2019. Task Orders will be competed using the Ordering Procedures found in the RFP's Addendum to FAR 52.212-4.

This acquisition will utilize Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) source selection procedures IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1 and 15.3, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. The factors to be evaluated are Technical, Past Performance, and Price. Technical and Past Performance are equal in importance and, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

Pre-proposal Conference: A pre-proposal conference for this acquisition will be conducted on 17 Sep 2018 at 09:00 AM EST. All interested offerors are strongly urged to attend. See AFFARS Provision 5352.215-9001 within the RFP for details on the pre-proposal conference, to include instructions on information Offerors should submit in order to attend.
