- Description
- The Mission and Installation Contracting Command- White Sands Office, has a requirement for Test Engineering and Analysis Support Services (TEAS) at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico. Therefore, White Sands Missile Range will be hosting a one (1) day only Industry Day for the follow-on Test Engineering and Analysis Support Services contract currently held by ATAMIR-WSMR LLC and invites you to attend. Location: WSMR Professional Development Center auditorium, Building 465, Dyer Street, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, 88002. Parking is available near the intersection of Dyer Street and Rock Island Avenue and also at Dyer Street and Picatinny Avenue. Time: The event will begin at 08:00 AM on 11 April 2012. Attendees should plan on arriving to WSMR at least one and one half (1.5) hours prior to the event so you may process through security, obtain a visitor's pass and check-in at the event. Check-in at the event will begin at 7:30 AM MST. A tentative agenda is attached. All questions will be held until the afternoon session. All questions and answers discussed at the Industry Day event will be published. RSVP: Contractors electing to attend the Industry Day must RSVP to Mr. Peter L. Hopkins, Contracting Officer. There is a limit of two (2) representatives per contractor. No foreign nationals are permitted. The contractor must e-mail the completed attached RSVP form (see attached Microsoft Excel workbook) to peter.l.hopkins.civ@mail.mil by COB 4 April 2012. Due to security procedures, the persons attending the Industry Day must be listed on the RSVP form. Las Cruces, NM is the closest city to WSMR, NM. The closest WSMR access gate is located off of US Highway 70. El Paso International Airport, El Paso, TX is the closest regional airport. Contractors are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their attendance at the Industry Day. Please visit the WSMR website, http://www.wsmr.army.mil/Pages/Home.aspx, for more information about WSMR. The "WSMR at a Glance 2011" and the WSMR Fact-book" are also attached for your basic information. Maps of WSMR are available at: http://www.wsmr.army.mil/testcenter/Pages/WhereWeAre.aspx. Occasionally, WSMR will block roads (including US Highway 70) in the area for missile testing. Please call the Road Block phone number, 575-678-1178, for recorded updates on planned roadblocks. The information is usually updated each weekday in the afternoon for the following day. Since the actual firing schedule can slide due to any number of circumstances like weather or equipment problems, travelers should also check the recording right before leaving to ensure nothing has changed. Installation Access: All visitors must bring photo identification. To obtain a vehicle security pass you must have a driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. All visitors must enter WSMR through the Las Cruces main gate (located off of US Highway 70). Visitors must stop at the WSMR Reception Center to obtain their visitor's pass. Safety: As a tri-service Department of Defense Range, White Sands has tested nearly every type of deployable ordnance developed in the United States since 1945. Quite a number of these munitions were deliberately designed to blend in with the terrain, and their presence may not be immediately obvious to the casual observer. Consequently, even though WSMR performs extensive Range Clearance activities, there is no assurance that any area of the Range is truly 100% free of unexploded ordnance. More information concerning unexploded ordnance hazards can be viewed at http://www.wsmr.army.mil/ux/Pages/default.aspx. The contractors are responsible to view the video found at this link under the title, UXO Hazards Video. You will be asked to sign a form, acknowledging that you have viewed this video at the check-in event. No person will be allowed to tour the range without first viewing this video. Photography & Video Ban: No photographs or videos are allowed on WSMR except in the WSMR museum missile park area. A DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) without the Technical Exhibits has been provided for industry review and is subject to change prior to its official release. This Request for Information (RFI) is for market research and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Government.
