- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT synopsis to request information for Government planning purposes only. Responses will assist the Government in planning its acquisition strategy for a potential future acquisition. The Government is not committed to issuing a solicitation or awarding a contract as a result of this announcement. Army Contracting Center--Warren (formerly known as TACOM-Warren) is seeking qualified and capable potential vendors. Since this is a sources-sought synopsis and not a solicitation for receipt of proposals or quotations, the Government does not encourage questions concerning this market research. The scope of this market survey is to identify potential sources capable of performing all areas of required support to be considered responsive. The Government tentatively plans to award a single contract that would cover one base year and provide two 12-month options for additional performance. The planned contract scope will include Hardware and Services on a Firm-Fixed Price basis. The Government is determining whether to issue a solicitation, which would result in a best-value award. Evaluation factors being considered include, but are not necessarily limited to: Technical (experience, capability, management approach), and Price/ Cost. As noted above, no solicitation currently exists, and it is possible that none will be issued. The TACOM Integrated Logistics Support Center Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) Program is a set of maintenance actions based on real-time assessment of equipment condition which is obtained from embedded sensors and/or external tests and measurements using portable equipment. The goal of CBM is to perform maintenance only when there is evidence of need. The desired outcome of CBM is a force of maintainers with knowledge, skill sets, and tools for timely maintenance of complex systems through use of technologies that improve maintenance decisions and integrate the logistics processes. As a maintenance strategy, CBM is of interest because it can help optimize Army fleet maintenance programs. Using CBM can lower Government costs by decreasing false alarms and preventing unnecessary maintenance. It thus has the potential to improve operational readiness and mission reliability. The tentatively proposed CBM Program incorporates the following hardware and services: Hardware - The Contractor shall provide approximately 2000 units of a CBM Digital Source Collector (DSC) capable of fulfilling the system requirements as detailed in Appendix A, which can be obtained by contacting Nancy Dulmage at nancy.dulmage@us.army.mil. Services - The Contractor shall provide approximately 38 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) in support of the CBM global mission. The required support would be provided both in CONUS and OCONUS, with approximately 15 Field Service Representatives, 3 Field Technical Leads and 5 Data Analysts located at various sites CONUS. The OCONUS requirements are 4 Field Service Representatives in both Kuwait and Afghanistan with 1 Field Technical Lead and 2 Field Service Representatives in Germany with 1 Field Technical Lead. Contracting Office Address: TACOM Army Contracting Command (ACC-WRN), 6501 E. 11 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48397-5000.
