Description
Draft IARP SOW provided for Industry Feedback The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is an independent Federal entity that is responsible for U.S.-funded non-military international broadcasting. BBG oversees, through an umbrella organization called the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB), the Voice of America (VOA), and Radio and TV Marti (referred to collectively as the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB)). VOA is headquartered in Washington, DC. OCB is located in Miami, FL. The upcoming BBG International Audience Research Program (IARP) Request for Proposal (RFP) will seek potential contractors to provide analytics of BBG's international audience in order to support BBG's mission. It is estimated that the annual total amount of Task Orders to be issued under the planned contract will fall within the $5M - $10M price range. BBG intends to award a Performance-Based IDIQ contract under which it will issue Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Task Orders. In a Performance-Based IDIQ contract, the Government specifies requirements in terms of performance objectives, and the Contractor(s) proposes 'how to' best satisfy those objectives. FFP Task Orders involving field research, other significant direct costs or subcontracts will be issued. Attached is a Draft Statement of Work (SOW) provided for initial industry feedback by Friday, May 20, 2011. While industry comments are welcome on the entire Draft SOW, specific attention should be given to the following sections: 1. Type of Contract (C.3.1) 2. Contract Task Areas (C.3.3) 3. Data Collection/Fieldwork, Data Processing, Quality Control (C.3.3) 4. Data Analysis, Reporting (C.3.3) 5. Media Consulting (C.3.3) 6. Customized Web-Based Data Portal (C.3.3) 7. Management Capacity (C.3.4) 8. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (C.3.4) 9. Anticipated Changes to the Current Research Program (Addenda) One or more awards of IDIQ Contracts will be made based upon a combination of BBG's evaluation of technical and price proposals that represent best value to the Government. After awards are made, Individual Task Orders will be competed and issued on a FFP basis. Price proposals (submitted for each Task Order) will be required to include the FFP for tasks and possibly detailed labor rates, overhead, general and administrative, percentage fee and all loads applied to both labor and other direct costs. Please note that if BBG elects to make only one award, non-competitive pricing will be performed. It is anticipated that each contract will have a one year base ordering period with (4) one year option ordering periods. The final RFP will have a new solicitation number. This is a pre-solicitation notice. The final IARP RFP is currently estimated to be posted on FedBizOpps within 3-6 weeks from after receipt of feedback and will have a will have a new solicitation number. However, this date is dependent upon review and possible incorporation of comments received on the attached Draft SOW. BBG will not consider corporate qualifications, capability statements, marketing material or any other proposal elements from interested parties at this time. BBG will consider industry comments on the content of the attached SOW only. For example, responders may comment on the feasibility, clarity or suggested alternative approaches to any element of the SOW. Email all comments and feedback for the attached Draft SOW directly to the Contracting Officer at: rjohnson@bbg.gov
