This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for Market Research purposes only. This market survey is conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the requirements for providing Air Force SBIR contractors with technical assistance in accordance with USC Title 15, Sec. 638 Paragraph q, Discretionary Technical Assistance. The primary focus of this assistance is intended to be in the area of planning and preparation for commercialization of technologies, products, or services developed under Air Force SBIR contracts. Technical assistance provided under this effort is not intended to focus on solving specific technical problems that arise in the course of technology development under a particular SBIR contract. A proposed draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) is attached to provide respondents a better understanding of the needs of the AF SBIR Program and the respondent?s potential ability to meet the Government?s requirement. The Government envisions a one year award with two subsequent 12 month renewal options. In the first year, assistance efforts will be limited to Phase I SBIR recipients only, in accordance with the tasks described in the draft PWS, Sec. 1.1. The total value of the first year effort is expected to be limited to not more than $2M. In the second and third year, support efforts are expected to expand to include assistance to Phase II SBIR recipients. Additional tasks are described in Sec. 1.2 of the daft PWS. At present, the total value of the second and third year efforts are expected to be limited to not more than $4M a year, however; anticipated changes in the governing law may allow for a value of as high as $6.5M a year. Firms responding are expected to show the ability to develop a flexible plan to provide increased levels of assistance if additional funding is available in the second and third year. Firms responding to this announcement should indicate their size, particularly if they are a small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, HUBZone small business or service disabled veteran-owned small business, and should also indicate if the firm is foreign-owned. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541712 applies to this acquisition with a size standard of 1500 employees. The AF is requesting that respondents propose a Federal Supply Schedule, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4 for this requirement. Respondents must propose the schedule that they feel is appropriate for this acquisition. The AF anticipates that the task order will be for 1 year with 2 option years. All interested parties shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates capabilities and expertise related to this effort. Foreign contractor participation is not permitted. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this synopsis nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government?s acquisition approach. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole or in part any industry input as a result of this announcement. The Government recognizes that proprietary data may be a part of this effort. If so, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. If the Government decides to award a contract for this or related effort, a combined synopsis/solicitation will be published.
