W911QY-12-R-0036 Award Synopsis

The mission of Product Manager, Force Protection Systems (PdM-FPS) includes providing timely, affordable, modular, scalable, supportable and integratable physical security and FP capabilities to tactical forces, military installations and Other Governmental Agencies (OGA). To fulfill the mission, PdM-FPS will acquire ancillary equipment and required services to install, operate, de-install/re-install, reconfigure, refurbish, retrofit, retrograde, integrate and modify FP systems, equipment and components when and where needed and require site remediation as required for the installation process. Integral to the success of the PdM-FPS mission is the FP/PSE life cycle support cost reduction. PdM-FPS is using a two-pronged approach to achieve success: (1) competing requirements among qualified contractors over the life of the planned acquisition; and (2) reducing troop-to-task by providing cross-functional Field Service Representatives (FSR) with the skill sets necessary to maintain a variety of systems already fielded under the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) products-based omnibus and any new contracts.

Five primary areas of support required to perform the mission include: activities to effect movement of equipment within and outside theaters of operation; Operational and Field Support; Training and Help Desk Support; Test and Evaluation; and Program Management and Transition. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision and non-personal services as defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) at Government sites in CONUS and OCONUS, including but not limited to, Forward Operating Bases (FOB) and Combat Outposts (COP) in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar.

Award of the basic IDIQ contracts will be made based upon a Best Value Trade-Off competitive source selection strategy and the Government reserves the right to award without discussions. In the evaluation of written proposals, the Government will clearly identify all factors and significant subfactors that will affect contract award and their relative order of importance in the solicitation. PdM-FPS anticipates making two or three contract awards to offerors whose proposals are most advantageous and represent the best value to the Government.

Subsequent to award, PdM-FPS anticipates competing the TOs among the IDIQ contractors and award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Therefore, the prices established in the IDIQ awards are a ceiling price, not a basement price. TO offerors are strongly encouraged to discount their prices during the TO Lowest Price Technically Acceptable competition. The competitive TO source selection approach will be dependent upon complexity and risk associated with the specific TO requirement.

This is a FFP, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), multiple (2-3) award contract for a five-year period of performance, including one 2-year base period, three-1 year option periods and one six-month option (if required). The maximum cumulative dollar value of all Task Orders (TO) under this contract may NOT exceed $249,300,000.00. Once the contract ceiling of $249,300,000.00 is reached, no further TOs shall be allowed under this contract. NAICS code 541330 ($14M).
