- Draft PWS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: 1. NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. 1.1 The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 811310 which has a corresponding Size standard of $7.0 million. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. 2. Program Details: The services shall consist of annual volumetric adjustments, authorized repairs, and 24-hour on-site emergency repairs to three (3) 5-Axis mill machines. The contractor shall provide personnel, support equipment, and documentation necessary to repair, test, and volumetrically compensate the equipment.

Do you have any rationale for alternate pricing arrangements? 2) Identify (with rationale) if the Service Contracting Act would (or would not) be applicable based on the "service employee" Part 541 of Title 29, Code of Federal regulations. If you identify that the Services Contracting Act would not be applicable, provide rationale to support that enough of the employees are expected to be "professional employees" instead of "service employees" (as defined by the Services Contracting Act and part 541 of tile 29, Code of Federal Regulations) for the Services Contracting Act to not be applicable. 3) List name of contract, contract number, DCMA, and Administrative Contracting Officer for similar services that your company has provided to the Government and/or commercial industry.
