- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: This is a Source Sought Synopsis announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. ALL INFORMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL OR FAX. OBJECTIVE: The Air Force Health Facilities Division is responsible for the programming, planning, design, construction, and initial outfitting of new and renovated USAF medical treatment facilities worldwide. They are chartered with modernizing hospitals, clinics, medical office buildings, warehouses, vet clinics and wellness centers. To meet the IO requirements, the AFMS/HFD requires a contracting vehicle that utilizes experienced suppliers/vendors who are able to rapidly respond to multiple requirements, meet constrained project schedules and provide a variety of products and IO services from planning through warranty. This contract vehicle will enable the Air Force to standardize execution, minimize acquisition leadtimes and costs, work multiple projects concurrently and complete projects on schedule. Under this contract, the IO contractor shall provide 1) initial outfitting transition (IO-T) services associated with a military construction project and/or 2) provide all initial outfitting (IO) commodities to outfit new or newly renovated medical facilities with some or all of the following items: "Resource protection / security systems "Information technology (except computer equipment, printers, faxes, and other off-the-shelf items) "Medical equipment and clinical casegoods "Furniture and furnishings "Art work "Communication systems "Signage Task orders will be performed in two steps. Step 1 shall be Initial Outfitting Transition (IO-T), including project management, transition/relocation planning, planning/design and technical support, product selection/planning, inventory identification, storage, movers, supervision, and budget development, tracking and adherence. Step 2 includes procurement of the product, installation labor, transportation, tools, materials, storage and freight, casegoods, furniture and furnishings equipment, artwork, signage, information technology/communication and resource protection systems. Then contract will also include the move, reconfiguration, teardown, salvage, and/or disposal of existing products and inventory storage and installation of reusable systems furniture. The objective is to have a contractor provide turn-key services to provide interior design, medical equipment, furniture, casegoods, communication equipment, information technology hardware and software, and furnishings for MTFs world-wide. These services must include cradle to grave project management services, design services, procurement of furniture and medical/clinical casegoods, warehousing capabilities, delivery, installation, inventory, warranty services, commissioning and training on all new equipment/furniture. The following are questions/concerns of the Government: (1) The contract should be world-wide with no division between U.S. regions and overseas. (2) The Government would like to have the flexibility to include furniture layout design services if we need them as we will not always be able to provide a Comprehensive Interior Design (CID). (3) The Government would like to have the option to reconfigure, restore or replace existing furniture components. The selected contractor will assist in assessing the condition and reusability of the existing furnishings. (4) The Government would want the ability to trade-in existing furniture for credit. (5) Vendors would be responsible for providing training on all new equipment. (6) The Government would like industry input as to the best way to make this turn-key operation work. (7) The Government would like industry to suggest ways to issue a single task order for a mix of furniture without running up against the barrier of dealer-exclusive relationships. Faxed responses to this request are preferred and should be sent to Fax Number (817) 886-6403, ATTN: Ed Chambers. Any email response to this request should be sent to edward.a.chambers@usace.army.mil.
