- Description
- Draft PWS - Vacuum Oven Brazing Services - Subject to Changes Vacuum Oven and Brazing Services Sources Sought Synopsis NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. 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 System (NAICS) Code is 332811 (size standard 100 employees). The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this effort. 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 all interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify their small or large business status to the identified or proposed NAICS code. Additionally, 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 price and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. Program Details: The United States Air Force (AF) Ogden Air Logistics Complex (OO-ALC) is seeking sources to provide labor, supplies, tooling and equipment necessary to perform vacuum oven brazing and vacuum oven stress relief services. Services will be performed at the contractor's facility. Performed services are in support of the 309th Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG) at Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah. See attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). Acquisition Strategy Questions: 1) The government intends on using a firm fixed price pricing-arrangement. If you have rationale for a more appropriate pricing-arrangement, please provide it. 2) If you have rationale for a more appropriate NAICS Code, please provide it. 3) If you identify your company as a Small Business, please indicate (with supporting rationale) how your company would be a Small Business given the restrictions identified in sub-paragraph (b)(1) of FAR Clause 52.219-14 (which states that at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern), based on prescribing language in FAR 19.508(e) and 19.811-3(e). 4) The government currently considers (in accordance with FAR 2.101) this requirement to be commercial. If your company has rationale supporting a different position, please provide such rationale and specifically trace it to appropriate portions of FAR2.101. 5) 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. 6) List name of contract, contract number, DCMA, and Administrative Contracting Officer for similar projects/services that your company has provided to the Government and/or commercial industry. Contract award decision may be based upon an evaluation of cost and non-cost factors (i.e., technical capability, past performance, etc.). The Government requests interested parties to submit a letter of interest, brief statement of current capability and responses to the below questions. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement.
