UPDATE (21 Dec 11) RFP Amendment FA8106-11-R-0002-0001 is attached. Proposal receipt time and date remains the same. UPDATE (16 Dec 11) This update is to post the briefing charts and questions/answers from the Pre-Proposal Conference held 12-14 Dec 11. These documents (briefs, questions/answers) are only intended to be a summary of the Formal Request for Proposal. The Formal Request for Proposal is the only document that should be relied upon in determining the Government's requirements, evaluation criteria and evaluation methods. If there are any inconsistencies in the information presented in this brief or questions/answers and the information included in the Formal Request for Proposal, the information contained in the Formal Request for Proposal overrides. UPDATE (9 Dec 11) The Instructions to Offerors (Addendum to 52.212-1) and Evaluation Factors for Award (Addendum to 52.212-2) were accidently left off of the previous update. They are now being added with this update. These are the official documents. UPDATE (9 Dec 11) This notification serves as the official release of the Request for Proposals for the C-21 CLS requirement. Attached to this posting you will find the official documents. Proposals in response to this RFP are due 3:00 PM CST on 25 Jan 12. UPDATE (8 Dec 11) This is a no fee conference. To access the base you will need to enter either Tinker Gate (Exit 157B from I-40) or Gott Gate (Exits 8 or 9 from I-240). Security at these two gates will have a list of names for base entry. Please reference the C-21 Pre-Proposal Conference for your reason for entry. Due to circumstances beyond our control we recommend you plan for at least 30 mintues to enter gates. Traffic is very heavy in the morning between 6:45 and 8:00 AM. Please plan your arrival accrodingly. Attached, you will find maps of of the location of the gates and the Conference Center. UPDATE (7 Dec 11) Pre-Proposal Conference Registration The 6 December deadline for registration has passed and registration is closed. Directions to the the Hill Conference Center will be posted on tomorrow. Facility Clearance We have received many questions and concerns with the Facility Clearance Requirement and sponsorship for a FCL. The following is in response to all of those inquiries. The C-21 Facility Clearance requirement is solely based upon pre-existing requirements, COMSEC, classified message traffic and storage, Worldwide Global deployment capability, and a current classified deployment (which may or may not be in place at time of award). It is likely that this or another classified deployment will be a requirement of the follow-on contractor. The contractor must have, at day one of contract award, the ability to receive classified deployment information, prepare to negotiate the requirement, and get to the deployed location within the 120 day phase-in timeframe. In regards to Facility Clearances (FCLs), Chapter 2-102 of the NISPOM establishes eligibility requirements a company must meet before it can be processed for an FCL. One requirement is that there has to be a need to access classified information in connection with a legitimate U.S. Government requirement. In the case of the C-21 requirement, access to classified information is not required for a company to SUBMIT A PROPOSAL. The Government is not in a position to remove the requirement to obtain an FCL prior to award because a contractor must have a FCL the day of award in order to carry out the requirements of the contract. Even though there is a requirement to have a FCL prior to award, the Government cannot sponsor any contractors until there is a bona fide need for that contractor to access classified information for this C-21 CLS requirement. Take caution that if another contractor sponsors a company for an FCL for this C-21 effort, there are no guaranteed assurances that DSS will approve the FCL. Defense Security Services (agency responsible to the issuance of FCLs) have informed this agency that the FCL depends on a variety of circumstances such as completion of all FCL required paperwork, the identification of the company Key Management Personnel (KMP) who must obtain personnel clearances to the level of the FCL (if the KMP are uncleared this can take some time), FOCI mitigation, etc. Additional Questions and Answers Additional Questions and Answers are attached to this posting. UPDATE (1 Dec 11) Due to a change in policies and procedures, the lead time to get Base Entry Approval has shortened. For those Contractors who will not be traveling with someone who already has base access, please get the information requested in the Pre-Proposal Conference Announcement Packet (Guest Name, Drivers License #, State of Issue, and Date of Birth) to Samuel McDuffey, samuel.mcduffey@tinker.af.mil, NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011. Otherwise, those concerned may not have Tinker AFB access for the Pre-Proposal Conference. Update (29 Nov 11) The Government will host a Pre-Proposal Conference for the C-21 Contractor Logistics Support requirement. The conference will be from 12 - 14 December 2011 at the General James E. Hill Conference Center at Tinker Air Force Base. On Monday, December 12, prospective contractors will have the opportunity to review AFIs and Guidance that may have been difficult to access. A DD Form 2345 will be required to attend the AFI and Guidance review. On Tuesday and Wednesday, December 13-14, we will walk through the RFP. See the attached documents for registration instructions and an agenda of the events. If interested in attending, please provide required information NLT 6 December 2011. Update (29 Nov 11) This update includes DRAFT documents only. Attachments 7-13 are not included. The Official RFP Release is anticipated to be NLT 9 Dec 11. Since we have had several delays, we anticipate reducing the response time from 60 days to approximately 45 days. To help accomodate for the shortened response time, we are releasing an updated copy of the DRAFT documents. All posted documents are subject to change. Be sure to review the official documents when released to account for changes. --------------- Update (28 Nov 11) The Government will not meet the 28 Nov posting date for the RFP. The anticipated posting date for the RFP is now NLT 9 Dec 11. In addition, the Government plans to hold a Pre-Proposal Conference from 12-14 Dec 11. The Conference will allow access to AFIs and Guidance that Industry has indicated as not being accessible along with an overview of the RFP and proposal requirements. Please stay posted to the FedBizOpps website for more details on the Pre-Proposal Conference. See the attached for additional questions, answers and clarifications. --------------- Update Updated Questions and Answers are being posted in this update along with a list of the SBs, ADs, and TCTOs. --------------- Synopsis (2) Date. 2 November 2011 (3) Year. 2011 (4) Contracting Office Zip Code. 73145 (5) Classification Code.
