- Description
- PARC-Forces Polling Effects Survey Request for Information (RFI) Date: 14 February 2006 This announcement is not a formal solicitation and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). Any formal solicitation(s) will be announced separately. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Input into the acquisition strategy is encouraged and welcomed. PURPOSE/GENERAL INFORMATION: The purpose of this RFI is to solicit industry comments on an anticipated solicitation which will result in the award of an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Government-Provided Polling Effects Survey in support of Coalition Forces in Iraq. We anticipate a single award IDIQ contract using NAICS Code 519110. The small business size standard is $6.5 million. We anticipate one award to any business size with a total estimated program ceiling of approximately $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. At this time, we are considering that task orders under this contract will be negotiated as firm-fixed price. Additionally, we anticipate that the contract will have an ordering period of one (1) base year with two (2) option years to extend the ordering with a total possible ordering period of three (3) years. Central Contract Registration (CCR) will be mandatory for this contract. BACKGROUND: This contract will replace the two (2) existing contracts in support of performance-based polling surveys throughout Iraq. These situations do not allow for a full series of options on major long term contracts. Therefore, it is proposed to eventually solicit and award this new contract. PROGRAM INFORMATION: This contractural program will meet Coalition Forces customer requirements for Polling Effects Surveys locations throughout Iraq. 1.
