- Description
- SPAWARSYSCEN, Charleston is soliciting information from potential sources for Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement (CALEA) Services for the United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Electronics Surveillance Technology Section. The purpose of this notice is to (1) obtain expressions of interest from the small business community in the area of support of the FBI's program for the implementation of the CALEA; (2) roughly gauge the capability of those interested small business firms or teams as viable contenders at the prime contractor level; and (3) obtain the expressions of interest from all businesses in further discussions. The briefings and associated evaluations discussed in this notice DO NOT replace the in-depth evaluation of a firm or team's ability to perform. That evaluation will be part of a formal source selection process. As the Government is unsure of the extent of anticipated small and small disadvantaged business participation, it is undecided as to how many and/or what types of set-aside awards to target during the development of its acquisition strategy. Small Businesses should note that the North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 541330, and the size standard is $4 million. The U.S. Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Charleston (SSC) requires engineering support services. The Government's intent is that any resultant contract will be comprised of one base year and four one-year options. It will be awarded to a single firm/team using an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity, Cost-Plus-Fixed fee contract type.

The successful offeror will be required to have a minimum of 3 years CALEA experience in various labor categories to be considered for this contract. The best-value award will consider technical issues significantly more important than cost, and subscribe to a Performance-Based Service. Contracting method of acquisition is essential for the Government to minimize unproductive performance on the part of the successful offeror. Therefore, the successful offeror will possess and propose to commit personnel on a full-time basis. Additionally, it is the Government's position that the successful offeror possess, individually or as a team, the following: (1) Experience in maintaining up-to-date knowledge and awareness of related policy and technical regulatory issues; (2) Experience in performing organization-wide surveillance activities over the issues facing and being addressed by organizations, including organic and contracted-support personnel; (3) Experience in performing technical solutions; and (4) Experience in establishing direct liaison with appropriate major law enforcement organizations. This notice is for planning purposes only. Firms are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures and references to support that they possess the required specialized experience in the categories/sub-categories noted in the attached PWS with capabilities necessary to meet or exceed stated requirements.
