The associated NAICS code is 336411 and the small business size standard is1500 employees. Proposals MUST be good for 360 calendar days after close of proposal period. The Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) is applicable and assigned rating is DO-A1. The date, time and place offers are due is 4:30PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), 27 SEP 12 to: Brian P. Murphy 13501 Ingenuity Drive, Suite 200 Orlando, FL 32826 Brian.p.murphy52.civ@mail.mil Office: 407-384-5198 The Product Demonstration documents are due: NLT 3:30PM Central Standard Time (CST), 12 September 2012 to: Product Manager, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Attention: Major Jeffrey Poquette, Bldg 5300 Sparkman Center, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898 Jeffrey.Poquette@PeoAvn.Army.Mil Mobile phone 256-842-7266 This Solicitation is for the full spectrum of Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) and Parts required supporting the SUAS Product Office (PdO) in CONUS and OCONUS, and its domestic and foreign customers. The Raven (RQ-11B) and Puma - All Environment Capable Variant (RQ-20A) SUAS are managed by the SUAS PdO, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The RQ-11B and RQ-20A are Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Targeting, Acquisition (RSTA) tools. The systems transmit live airborne video images, compass headings and location information to a Ground Control Station (GCS) and to a RSTA Laptop Computer. This capability enables operators to navigate, search for targets, recognize terrain, and record all information for analysis. A system generally consists of the following basic components: Unmanned Aircraft (UAs); GCS; Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Payloads; RSTA Computer Kit and Field Repair Kit. An Initial Spares Package (ISP) is also fielded for support of the basic system. The SUAS Product Office currently fields the RQ-11B and RQ-20A primarily to the Army, and also to other DoD and Civilian Government Organizations. The Army currently has fielded 1,798 RQ-11B systems and 325 RQ-20A systems and has a requirement to sustain and maintain this existing fleet. The Army has met 92% of the RQ-11B Army Acquisition Objective (AAO), and has met 83% of the anticipated need for RQ-20A (required by USFOR-A-issued JUONS). Additionally, the current fleet has pre-planned spiral upgrades such as the Gimbal payload, which will be competed and retrofitted under this effort. The need exists to complete the AAO; maintain, sustain and upgrade the fleet; and procure future SUAS Systems as required by DoD, Other Government Agencies (OGA) and foreign countries. While the current systems fielded are the RQ-11B and the RQ-20A, alternative Medium and Long Range SUA systems may be procured to meet the anticipated future requirement of approximately 300 Medium and approximately 150 Long Range SUA systems with spare/repair parts. Additionally SUAS PdO must maintain the capability to support current and future Warfighter needs for SUAS systems in CONUS and OCONUS. Due to the inherit flexibility required for future purchase quantities; multi-award, Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts are most appropriate to support this effort. Offerors shall provide a standard one year commercial warranty as outlined in the RFP requirements. For this solicitation, all items required must be new, fully functional, present, and compatible as required by the SOW.

The Government also reserves the right to increase and decrease the Period of Performance dates due to mission requirement. In the event this happens, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractors within 12-24 hours to make adjustments accordingly.

Evaluation Factors: FACTOR #1: TECHNICAL, #2 PAST PERFORMANCE, #3: PRICE #3: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN The Technical Factor is more important than Past Performance. Past Performance is more important than Price & Price is more important that Small Business Participation Plan. When combined, all non-priced factors are more important than the price factor. Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Apr 2010) (a) (1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that -- (i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals -- (A) Are [_] are not [_] presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) Have [_] have not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks ?have?, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and (C) Are [_] are not [_] presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and (D) Have [_], have not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (ii) The Offeror has [[_] has not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency. (2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner; partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code. (b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible. (d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. (e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.
