The 6th Contracting Squadron is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources. The information requested by this Sources Sought will be used within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. Sources Sought is an advance notice for information and planning purposes only. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract.

Should a future requirement(s) evolve from this preliminary planning process, it is anticipated the period of performance will be 30 September 2010 to 29 September 2011. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: MacDill AFB requires access to polling data obtained in calendar year 2005-2010 and subsequent periods by Gallup World PollTM Database and Knowledge System Support to Theater Strategy Assessment, (TSA), Model Refinement to conduct and collect wide-ranging poll data for the 130 countries within and outside the USCENTCOM Area of Responsibility, (AOR). This information gives specific insight into population attitudes in the USCENTCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) regarding such topics as national leadership, law and order, availability of food and shelter, availability of employment opportunities, general health and well-being, and opportunity for citizen engagement in self and national determination. We also require certain demographic data on the population polled which gives insight into current economic status, religious preference, ethnic origin, level of literacy, and educational background. Access to polling data on as many countries as possible from outside the USCENTCOM AOR is also necessary for comparative analysis purposes to properly value results from the USCENTCOM AOR and to show interaction with other areas of immediate concern that directly impact the USCENTCOM AOR. We require access to the above polling data using a statistical analysis software interface that allows for quantitative analysis of trends and interactions between different data streams for up to 12 analysts simultaneously. We require the ability to export key data from the dataset to MS Excel for incorporation into a Value Focused Thinking strategic assessment model and to create visual representations of data trends for briefings to senior decision makers. We require training for analysts that will be using the statistical analysis software interface. The North American Industry Classification System is 541910 and the size standard is $6.5M. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform this effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 10:00 AM local time on 7 June 2010. Such information will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. Sources shall include in their information, a detailed capabilities statement stating their experience in providing the same or similar items described in this notice, a point of contact with phone and e-mail information, business status, (Socio-Economic Factors such as 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, etc ), business size based on NAICS 541910, and a positive statement of interest to submit a proposal.
