This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. CAUT ION: This synopsis/solicitation is posted electronically to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) website at http://www.fbo.gov under number W52H09-06-T-GRAF and any amendments will be issued electronically via the same website.

FAR clause 52.219-6 Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside, Jun 2003 (15 U.S.C. 644) applies to this solicitation. FAR clauses 52.212-1 through 52.212-5 (and as modified herein) are incorporated by reference. Responses are requested for this solicitation, and will result in a three-year, IDIQ contract for reconfigurable MOUT ranges in Germany. Offerors are advised to propose their best pri ce and submit adequate and sufficient past performance information for evaluation, inclusive of all shoothouse structures, After Action Review (AAR) components, and 3-D targetry as described in the Statement of Work, Attachment 001 (hereafter SOW) and the Performance Description, Attachment 002 (hereafter PD), and depicted in the GTA MOUT drawings, Attachment 003 and Attachment 009 (MOUT Wall Assembly). All attachments can be found on TACOM-Rock Islands Solicitation Information Page, URL: https://aais.ria. army.mil/aais/SOLINFO/index.htm under Draft Solicitations/Specifications/Scopes of Work.). The successful offeror is responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses or permits required by law or statute. FAR clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Com mercial Items (Jan 2006), applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference with the following modifications: delete paragraph (h) and subsection (a) is tailored as follows: The NAICS code is 3329 and the small business size standard for this ac quisition is 500. FAR clause 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999), applies to this acquisition, modified as follows at subsection (a): The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quot e conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Price and Past Performance. The Government will evaluate price based on the total eval uated price. The GTA MOUT Component Pricesheet (Attachment 004) consists of a two-page entry form for each ordering period. Ordering periods are as follows: ORDERING PERIOD 1, DATE OF AWARD 30 SEP 2007; ORDERING PERIOD 2, 01 OCTOBER 2007 30 SEP 2008; O RDERING PERIOD 3, 01 OCTOBER 2008 30 SEP 2009. The Government will apply an offerors pricing to a Notional Delivery Order (NDO) scenario for each ordering pe riod that may, in some form, be ordered by the Government after contract award. Total NDO prices for each ordering period will be added together to derive the total evaluated MOUT price. The NDOs used will be sample requirements consisting of some combina tion of the items priced on Attachment 004 that closely approximate the Governments actual initial requirements for reconfigurable MOUT ranges at GTA. Thus, while a Delivery Order may replicate an NDO used in evaluating offers, an NDO does not in itself r epresent a Delivery Order requirement. Past Performance will include relevant experience and general performance history. Relevant experience is production, installation, performance, and maintenance as they apply to MOUT range equipment, AAR components, a nd 3-D target devices. The more similar your experience is to the effort described in the SOW, the more relevant your experience will be deemed. Offerors, at a minimum, shall submit the Past Performance information outlined in Attachment 005 (Information f or Past Performance Evaluation). Articles 72 and 73 of the NATO SOFA (North American Treaty Organization Status of Forces Agreement) Supplementary Agreement between the United States and Germany also apply to this solicitation. In response to these governi ng documents, the Government does not anticipate the work involved by the successful offeror in performing installation of the MOUT range and the initial training of range personnel at GTA will exceed a period of 90 days or involve the work of TE (Technica l Expert) contractor personnel. However, offerors should reference Attachment 006 (Examples of TE and non-TE Positions) and notify the POC (Point of Contact) listed below immediately if they feel any TE staff would be required for the execution of any MOUT range requirement to receive instructions on how to secure TESA (Technical Expert Status Accreditation) from the German Government. TESA procedures are considered a pre-award activity. If no TE personnel will be necessary IAW your proposal and you are the successful offeror, TDY status can be secured for your staff through a process known as FAX-BACK. A FAX-BACK application will be provided to the successful offeror as an appendix to any award documentation. Attachment 007 (Explanation of German Fax-Back P rocess) provides an explanation of this process for reference. All hardware required for completion of subsequent Delivery Orders resulting from this solicitation shall be ready for shipment to Germany within a period NTE (Not to Exceed) 90 days from notif ication of award. A shorter delivery time is encouraged and is acceptable at no additional cost to the Government.

Final acceptance o f GTA MOUT ranges purchased via this solicitation will be IAW COC procedures and the final deliverable to be inspected/accepted will include all GTA MOUT structures, AAR components, and targets referenced in Attachments 001, 002, and 003, as they apply to the specific Delivery Order, fully installed by the selected vendor, as well as all initial training and training manuals called out in Section 6 of the SOW.
