- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Facility Security Risk Management Program (FSRM) office has a requirement for security officer services throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories. These services are being procured in order to provide physical security safeguards for FAA employees, facilities, and United States Government property and assets from loss, theft, damage, unauthorized use, criminal acts, espionage, sabotage and terrorism. Scope of Effort: This Screening Information Request/Request for Offer (SIR) is for Security Officer (SO) Services within the Central Service Area. A complete listing of included facilities can be found in Section B of the SIR. The Contractor must furnish all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, transportation, training, and management necessary to provide SO services in accordance with the stated requirements. The Contractor must implement all necessary scheduling and personnel and equipment control procedures to ensure timely accomplishment of all SO service requirements The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code anticipated to apply to this effort is 561612 Security Guard and Patrol Services with the size standard of $18.5 Million. In order to provide opportunities for the small businesses and to ensure the FAA requirements are met, the acquisition strategy for this procurement includes the use of a tiered evaluation of offerors with the following tiers: I.8(a) CompaniesII.SDVOSBIII.Small BusinessesIV.Large Businesses (1) Tiered evaluation of offers is a process by which FAA promotes small business participation while providing the FAA a means to continue the procurement if small business participation is insufficient. (2) The FAA may use tiered evaluation of offers to promote competition in each tier of small business concerns while still allowing other than small business to participate without issuing another SIR. (3) The FAA will consider the tiers of small business concerns prior to evaluating offers from other than small business concerns. All business classifications will be encouraged to submit offers for this SIR. The FAA will proceed with the evaluation of offerors and award within the lowest tier found to contain adequate competition among technically acceptable offers. An offer is considered technically acceptable if: 1) The offer is not grossly or obviously deficient; and2) The offer receives at least a marginal evaluation rating in the management, technical and past performance factors. Adequate competition exists when at least two offers are compared. If only one proposal is received in a lower tier, this offer from a lower tier may compete with higher tiered submissions in order to achieve adequate competition Each offeror may be considered as a prime contractor for only one Service Area (SA) award but has the ability to pursue subcontracting opportunities on any service area awards without restriction. The FAA will only recognize one Prime Contractor per offer. In accordance with AMS clause 3.6.1-7 Limitations on Subcontracting at least 50% of the work must be performed by employees of the Prime contractor Award for awards made under the first three tiers. The resulting award will be Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (FFP IDIQ) with one Time and Material (T&M) Contract Line Item (CLIN) and a period of performance of one base year and four one year options anticipated to begin on October 1, 2012. In order to maximize competition and to address concerns raised by the vendor community, significant changes have been made to the SIR since it was released in draft form on June 15, 2011. The largest concentration of changes can be found in Section C, Statement of Work (SOW), and in Section M, Evaluation of Offers. As part of the FAA Small Business Conference, a briefing was presented on July 18, 2011 that provided attendees an overview of the program contract strategy for the National Security Officer Program. This briefing is also attached to this announcement. Questions or comments pertaining to this SIR must be submitted in written form via email to Robert C. Taylor II, Contract Specialist, at robert.c.taylor-ii@faa.gov.no later than 2:00 p.m., January 5, 2012. Questions and responses that clarify the SIR may be provided to all Offerors; however the source of the questions will not be identified. The FAA plans to publish responses to questions on January 18, 2012, and host a teleconference with interested parties on January 19, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. EST. Due to the limited availability of dial in access lines, interested parties are requested to limit representation to one dial in access per company. Teleconference details are as follows:Dial In: 202-493-4180 Passcode: 8176 Please be advised, Attachment J.2, Facility Post Orders, and J.3, Facility Post Exhibits, are being distributed in a generic format.
