The information in this notice is based on the best and most current information available to date. This information is subject to change and is not binding to the Government. Updated information will be provided in future announcements and posted electronically on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) homepage at www.fbo.gov. The Government shall not reimburse the costs of preparing responses to this request for information / sources sought notice. The 22d Contracting Squadron (AMC), McConnell Air Force Base (AFB), Kansas, intends to issue a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) in the April/May 2012 timeframe for the acquisition of transient alert, fleet, & aircraft wash services to be performed at McConnell AFB. The estimated contract period including all options is 1 October 2012 through 30 September 2017. The successful contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, management, and other items necessary (excluding Government Furnished Property) to perform transient alert, fleet, & aircraft wash services to the standards specified within the Performance Work Statement (PWS). All work performed by the contractor shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, Air Force standards, instructions, and commercial practices as set forth in the PWS for said services. The NAICS code for this requirement is 488190, Other Support Activities for Air Transportation. The Small Business Size Standard is $7,000,000. The Government requests interested parties submit a brief statement of current capability to perform these services and a letter of interest.

Depending upon the response to this notice and other market research, 22 CONS may limit the competition to a specific category of small business at the exclusion of all other potential business concerns. This announcement serves as a first step for 22 CONS to determine the viability of setting aside the procurement of transient alert, fleet, & aircraft wash services for competition solely within or among certain small businesses in selected categories. This is a Sources Sought announcement only; no solicitation exists or is available at this time. Requests for a solicitation shall not receive a response. This announcement shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. In the event a solicitation is developed, it will be assigned a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) number and the announcement will be published on the FedBizOpps website at www.fbo.gov. Potential interested parties are responsible for monitoring this site for the release of the solicitation package as well as downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments, if any. AFFARS 5352.201-9101 OMBUDSMAN (APR 2010). (a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM or AFISRA ombudsmen, Mr. Gregory S. Oneal, HQ AMC/A7K, 507 Symington Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5022, phone number (618) 229-0267, facsimile number (618) 256-6668, email gregory.oneal@scott.af.mil.
