- Description
- The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking potential sources for services in support of the Security, Intelligence, and Special Programs Deputate (MDA/SI). MDA intends to utilize its Basic Support Services Program (BSSP) General Services Administration (GSA) ordering procedures to acquire the services described in this notice (information on the MDA BSSP may be found at http://www.mda.mil/barbb/setaserv.htm). The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) category for this requirement is 541710 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES, with a size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is open to all GSA schedule holders; however, the Government reserves the right to solicit only small businesses if a sufficient number are determined to possess the required capabilities. MDA is seeking business firms under GSA schedule contract sources to support staff augmentation for approximately three (3) on-site staff in support of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) and Geo-spatial Intelligence services. Based on mission requirements, there is a potential for the number of personnel to increase. Due to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, there is the potential for the location of the support requirements to be moved to other geographically dispersed locations during the contract period. Based on capability statements submitted in response to this notice, the Government will invite only the ?most highly qualified? companies to participate in the competition. GSA schedule holders judged best qualified to compete for the work will be sent a draft Request for Quotations package within two (2) weeks of the deadline for submission of capability statements and invited to schedule ?1-on-1? meetings with Government representatives to address any questions. A final RFQ will be released on or about February 14, 2006, with offers due approximately three (3) weeks later. The required support includes: application of data received from Intelligence Community taskings to current and developing Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) functions. Work includes: development of collection tasking, data management, and scientific analysis necessary to assess sensors and sensor system support for the detection, classification, and reporting of worldwide ballistic missile activity. A draft Statement of Work may be found at the Federal Technical Data Solutions (FedTeDS) website, https://www.fedteds.gov, using the solicitation number ?HQ0006-06-Q-0003?. The draft Statement of Work will be uploaded to FedTeDS on Tuesday, January 10, 2006. Businesses must register with the FedTeDS site in order to access this information. Once the short-list is determined and the formal RFQ released, only firms on the short-list will have access to the FedTeDS HQ0006-06-Q-0003 site. The resultant order will consist of a Firm-Fixed Price support services contract line item for labor and a Cost contract line item for Other Direct Costs (ODCs). The term of the order including options is anticipated to be at least three (3) years. All positions will be on site within the National Capital Region. In accordance with BRAC there is the potential for the location of the support requirements to be moved to other geographically dispersed locations. All personnel require a TOP SECRET clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmental Information. Acceptable sources must hold a GSA Schedule, and be able to provide 100% of personnel with TOP SECRET clearances on task order start date which will be 30 calendar days after task order award date. GSA schedule contractors who qualify under NAICS 541710 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES are invited to submit to the contracting office as early as possible, but not later than January 20, 2006, a three-page Capability Statement summarizing the corporate strengths in relation to the following criteria: 1) Describe the qualifications and capabilities of your staff to perform the type of work specified in this notice 2) Describe your firm?s specific, related past/current DoD experience related to this requirement 3) Describe your firm?s management approach in managing on-site staff, retention/replacement, authority, responsibilities, and quality control, as well as your ability to provide required clearances at the time of at time of award.
