- Description
- NA Block 17. The Department of Defense (DoD) request review and comment on the draft Defense Travel System (DTS) Travel Management Services request for proposal (RFP). The RFP identifies a DTS requirement to provide all personnel, equipment, tools, material s, supervision, and other items and services necessary to perform Official Travel Management services for DoD at CONUS/OCONUS Travel Areas that are set-aside strictly for small business and 8(a) participation. Travel management services are to be provided for authorized official travel performed by DoD travelers assigned to organizations in their respective Travel Areas. DoD has established approximately thirty-one (31) Travel Areas as Small Business Set-aside l ocations, six (6) of which is set-aside strictly for 8(a) qualified firms. Award of multiple contracts from the solicitation is anticipated, with the potential to award one contract per Travel Area. Multiple travel areas may be awarded under one contrac t if doing so is in the best interest of the Government. The draft RFP for this solicitation will be released in September 2003. The final RFP will be released in October 2003. The Government anticipates awarding Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract(s) with a two year base period and three, one year option periods. Services will be priced on a transaction fee basis. Optional services will be priced on a monthly basis. The SIC Code is 561510 with annual size standard of $3,000.000. A best value source selection process will be conducted with each offeror's proposal evaluated against Technical, Performance Risk and Price factors. In making its final selection of contractors to perform CTO services, the Government's technical evaluati on will include (but not be limited to) an assessment of offerors' demonstrated ability to perform CBA reconciliation under controlled procedures. Interested vendors will be required to demonstrate their capability to validate passenger name record (PNR) data through their Global Distribution System (GDS) to the Defense Travel System as a condition of receiving award of any requirement described in this notice. This demonstration can be done from the offeror's own facilities, and will involve minimal time and cost to offerors. Those vendors who have already successfully completed the PNR validation process will not be required to redo this demonstra tion. Vendors interested in submitting a proposal for any of these requirements must contact the Government via email at DTSContracting@osd.pentagon.mil as soon as possible, but not later than October 31, 2003, to schedule this validation event.
