- Description
- Small Business Size Standard - 1,000 employees The Global Positioning System (GPS) Wing intends to award a Supplemental Agreement modification under Contract Number F04701-96-C-0025 to The Boeing Company incorporating the Estimated Labor Hours of 40,000 for CY10-12 in Special Contract Requirements (SCR) H.4 and cost-plus fixed-fee CLIN 1600. The purpose of these studies will be to conduct feasibility assessments and analysis to determine the necessity, adequacy, impact, potential implementation, and cost of any proposed changes to the GPS IIF satellites or its existing GPS operational control segment (OCS). In addition, these studies will analyze operational, logistical, administrative, business and technical problems associated with those satellites, research methods to maximize the capability and the useful life of those satellites, and analyze potential impacts to user equipment or other GPS-dependent systems (including military, civil, commercial and international applications). The government is on contract with Boeing to develop and produce GPS IIF satellites and to upgrade the existing GPS Operational Control Segment. Boeing is uniquely qualified to provide these studies, as they possess extensive knowledge of the design of the entire spacecraft (e.g., antennas, parts obsolescence issues, batteries, space-qualified atomic clocks, TT&C, navigation and NUDET payloads). As such, Boeing is the only responsible source that can perform these studies without the Government incurring substantial risk and duplication of costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition and/or unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements (10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)). All responsible sources, to include Small and Small Disadvantaged Businesses, may submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC) which will be considered. Oral communication is not acceptable. The SOC must include the following information: 1) company name, mailing address, points of contact and telephone numbers; 2) business size classification (large, small, or other); 3) experience in developing, producing and sustaining GPS satellite components or similar technologies; 4) ability to satisfy the Government's requirements described above. When describing one's ability to satisfy those requirements, specify which GPS satellite components the source has previously developed and/or produced and which components the source has not previously developed and/or produced. Responses to this synopsis should be submitted via email in MS Word 2000 or newer format or PDF format to marla.kellybrew@losangeles.af.mil with a follow-up signature hard copy of the submission to GPSW/PK, Attn: Marla Kellybrew, 483 N. Aviation Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245-2808. All responses are due no later than 15 December 2009 and must conform to 8.5 x 11-inch pages, with font no smaller than 12 point, with a maximum of 20 pages. Any information submitted in response to this synopsis is strictly voluntary. Submission of the firm's SOC will be for information purposes only. The Government does not reimburse respondents for any cost associated with submission of the information nor shall any costs be allowed on any Government contract. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendation to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentially as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the source selection process. Interested parties are invited to call Mr. James Gill at (310) 653-1789.
