- Description
- This is a RFI notice only. This RFI is issued for the purpose of market research in accordance with FAR Part 10. The 99th Contracting Squadron is seeking market information from qualified, experienced and interested contractors who can perform tasks in support of the 414th Combat Training Squadron. This support shall cover all training and testing operations which utilize the Nellis Air Combat Training System (NACTS)/Individual Combat Aircrew Display System (ICADS) and operations with the Combined Air Operations Center? Nellis (CAOC-N). These operations include but are not limited to RED FLAG (RF) exercises, USAF Weapons School Mission Employment (ME) phase, Joint Expeditionary Forces Experiment (JEFX), ANGEL THUNDER and other special training/testing missions. RF exercises, conducted at Nellis AFB, NV, provide Large Force Exercise (LFE) advanced tactical training for multinational forces. RF exercises are typically conducted five times per year, are two weeks long, contain two missions per day (normally one day and one night "go") and comprise 500 to 1500 sorties. For both exercises, separate morning, afternoon and nighttime operations may be conducted during any particular period. An Air Tasking Order (ATO) is published for each exercise day that directs the missions, objectives and targets for each unit as part of the integrated force. During execution, mission data is transmitted live and recorded from exercise aircraft/equipment, and received/processed by the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) computer systems for real-time mission control and use in mission debriefings. Recorded data will require post-mission merging. Post-mission, the contractor will generate several aircrew debriefing products to include: graphic flight path tracks for each aircraft; weapons employment "shot" evaluations (air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-air shot and Electronic Warfare (EW)); survivability analysis; aggressor tactics and other related data. In support of these exercises, the 68th Electronic Warfare Squadron (68 EWS) at Eglin AFB, FL is tasked by Air Combat Command (ACC) through the USAF Warfare Center (USAFWC) to be the focal point to manage EW training, testing, tactics development and engineering. The 68 EWS provides specialized expertise and assistance in conducting EW/Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) operations during composite force training exercises at Nellis AFB, NV. During each exercise the contractor shall support aircrew package debriefs (normally two to three) and a mass aircrew debrief for every mission. Debrief data for both RF and other exercises will be input into and maintained in a database to allow analysis of aggregate historical data concerning the capabilities and strategies utilized in tactical air operations. The contractor shall provide data retrievals as requested by the 414 CTS staff to support any requests within the scope of the contract. 1. Request interested firms respond to the following. a. Identify your firm's information (name, address, phone number, CAGE code). b. Identify if your company is a large or small business. If applicable, identify what small business program(s) (i.e. SBA Certified 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned), Hub zone, etc. your company is certified as. c. Identify the appropriate amount of calendar days required to respond to an RFP. d. What is the timeframe needed from time of award to transition and begin new service. e. What type of contract vehicle would you be using (GSA, SEWP or Open Market, etc.)? f. Any other comments, feedback or response on how to improve this requirement is highly encouraged. 2. Responses are to be submitted to the primary point of contact, Stephen Colton, at Stephen.Colton@us.af.mil or Attn: Stephen Colton, 5865 Swaab Blvd. Bldg. 588, Nellis AFB 89191 no later than Monday 24 March, 4:00 pm Pacific Time. Earlier submission is highly encouraged. 3. This RFI notice is issued for planning purposes only. Responses to this notice will assist the Government in identifying potential sources and determining if a set-aside of the solicitation is appropriate. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract, nor does it obligate the Government to pay for any bid/proposal preparation costs. 4. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Contract Specialist, Mr. Stephen Colton, at (702) 652-5488.
