- Description
- CABS survey requested in advance of SMC A&AS Industry Day. CABS draft PWS FABS draft PWS Relevant charts directly from the Government decision brief. SMC A-AS Industry Day & CABS Market Survey/Sources Sought Synopsis Background. The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA has developed a follow-on acquisition to replace the SMC Financial Support (SFS) and SMC Acquisition Support (SAS) programs for Advisory & Assistance Services (A&AS). The SFS program provides financial, cost management, schedule management, and related training A&AS support to SMC organizations. The SAS program provides manpower, personnel, administration, configuration/data management, acquisition planning, contracting and associated training support. Both programs were awarded task orders under FAR 8 Fair Opportunity business rules via SMC Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) based upon GSA Professional Engineering Services (PES), Schedule 871, contracts. This work was set-aside for small business BPA holders with less than 1,000 employees consistent with NAICS code 541710 (circa 2002). Both programs are expected to complete either by late calendar year 2011 or within 2012 based on Government transition planning. SMC held an A&AS Industry Day in Jan 2010 followed by a SAFS SDB survey closing 4 Aug 2010 to form the basis for the acquisition strategy. As the acquisition plan was under formation, the program name formally changed from the temporary moniker of "SPS" to SMC Acquisition and Financial Services (SAFS). SMC objectives under the SAFS strategy are to increase competition, make opportunities available to the SDVOSB community, and encourage the development of long-term space support capabilities. C2C. Coupled to this acquisition, it is anticipated that SMC Contractor to Civilian Conversion (C2C) activities will directly impact effort on this program. The goal of C2C is to convert contracted A&AS support to Government civilian staffing. The SMC C2C plan is currently in progress but will take several years to complete. Status. Based on Government decisions made 10 Dec 2010, SMC is seeking sources for two follow-on acquisitions. Under FAR Part 15, the Government intends to compete "Financial and Acquisition Business Support" (FABS) and "Contractor Administrative Business Support" (CABS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that provision Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) A&AS effort. Contract scope will derive from the former SFS and SAS programs but will be tempered by C2C, organizational conflict of interest principles, and decisions based on "near" and inherently governmental functions. At the task order competitions, SMC intends to leverage FFP to the maximum extent. Relevant charts directly from the Government decision brief and draft Performance Work Statements for each program are provided. Set Asides. A target of four (4) FABS contracts are reserved for Small Businesses under NAICS code 541712 (circa 2007) that carries a 1,000 employee size standard. A target of six (6) CABS contracts are exclusively reserved for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 541611 [$7M size standard]. Schedule. FABS is expected to be solicited 1st quarter of calendar year 2011 and ready for the commencement of work by July 2011. CABS is estimated to follow with a 2nd quarter solicitation and ready for the commencement of work by October 2011. CABS Survey. For CABS, the Government has provided a market survey. For interested CABS primes & team members, please complete/return a survey via email to the Program Manager ( timothy.greer@losangeles.af.mil ) and Contracting Officer ( roberto.acosta@losangeles.af.mil ) NLT 4:00 PM PST, 14 January 2010. Industry Day. An SMC A-AS Industry Day is scheduled 20 January 2010, 2:00pm PST, at the Gordon Conference Center, Room 1, 483 N Aviation Blvd, Building 270 (1st Floor), Los Angeles AFB CA 90245-2808. Due to limited accommodations, interested primes are requested to limit company participation to 2 members maximum. Current and potential team members are requested to limit company participation to 1 member. Be advised that visitor parking is limited. Each attendee must register NLT 4:00 PM PST, 14 January 2010 at the following website: https://einvitations.afit.edu/SMCAASIndustryDay2011/anim.cfm Under FABS and CABS, SMC is investigating the use of volume oriented discount pricing and/or rebates at the IDIQ level based on total dollars implemented/executed (i.e. cumulative task order effort performed or in progress, not including future unexercised options). The Government is interested in any ideas and/or commercial best practices. If interested parties have feedback on this and other particulars, such as the draft Performance Work Statements, the Government encourages industry dialog/input. For any recommended solutions, contractors are welcomed to turn in a brief description of the mechanics (framework, basis, trigger points, processes, etc.) at the end of the forum. Please send your feedback to the Program Manager at timothy.greer@losangeles.af.mil and to the Contracting officer at roberto.acosta@losangeles.af.mil.
