You are hereby notified that the source selection process has been initiated with the release of the FEDS Request for Proposal (RFP) this date. The source selection process will continue until announcement of contract award, which is contemplate to take place in Sep 03. All communications regarding the FEDS RFP must be through Ms Cathi Cleveland, the undersigned Contracting Officer, or Ms Diane Dolci, Contracts Negotiator (please refer to RFP ITO paragraph 1.1, Points of Contact, for their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses). No other individuals at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), or any other Agency, are authorized to communicate matters related to the FEDS source selection and, therefore, are not to be contacted. 2. The policies of FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented, will be followed for selection of the best value offeror, e.g. the offeror whose proposal gives the Air Force the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements affordably. The Government will use the tradeoff process at FAR 15.101-1 for making the selection. Please refer to the Award Section--Basis for Award and Evaluation Factors, of the RFP, for complete details. 3. Potential offerors are cautioned to carefully and thoroughly review the RFP, including the FED Statement of Work (SOW), since numerous changes have taken place since the draft RFP (DRFP) was released. It is critical to do a comparison between the DRFP and RFP to ensure your proposal captures the changes. Potential offerors who have been developing their proposals based upon the DRPF are cautioned to ensure their proposals are appropriately changed to incorporate the requirements of the RFP. 4. Highlights of the RFP Instructions to Offerors (ITO) are enumerated hereunder; however, offerors are responsible for ensuring they have a thorough understanding of, and comply with, the complete solicitation requirements. a.
