GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY DAY FOR THE AIR FORCE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS DIRECTORATE'S (AF/XOR) ADVISORY AND ASSISTANCE SERVICE PROCUREMENT Air Force XOR is sponsoring, in conjunction with the Electronic Systems Center's (ESC) Advanced Projects Contracts Division (ESC/PKY), a Government and Industry Day on Thursday, February 18th, 1999, from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Pentagon's Army Auditorium (Room 5A1070). The purpose of this meeting is to present an overview of the acquisition and to answer questions/concerns about the Air Force's approach of using General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule 070 to procure Advisory and Assistance Services to meet the requirements of AF/XOR's programs and development planning projects in all phases of the acquisition cycle. Primarily, this support complements the XOR civilian and military workforce, and the support provided by other support contractors. Services will be provided by task orders placed against Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) with contractors on the GSA Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) for Information Technology (IT) Services. No mission hardware/software development or production is permitted under this contract. Support to be provided includes a broad range of system oriented technical services, which will require a minimum security clearance of Secret (higher levels up to Top Secret/SCI may also be required). These include development planning analysis, operations analysis in all operational fields, operational requirements development, system engineering, configuration and data management, and financial management. Support may also include the preparation of technical inputs to acquisition documentation for systems being acquired by program offices. The primary output of the contractor's efforts will be analyses, technical reports or other data deliverables. Additional information will be available to discuss ongoing reform initiatives, and possibly an unveiling of the Government web-site for this acquisition, which will facilitate both government and industry participation in, influence on, and visibility of, the acquisition process from requirements generation to warfighter use. This on-line system will provide the capability for constant government and industry interaction for the purposes of 1) giving industry early visibility into requirements and opportunities; 2) giving industry the ability to influence the technical and business solutions of procurements; 3) giving government users and acquirers visibility and access to latest technologies and potential solutions to requirements; 4) giving government and industry a constant forum for ideas, technologies, contract vehicles and information to enhance capability to the warfighter. Members of GSA and ESC's own Information Technology Services Program will be on hand to answer questions.
