- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) Maneuver Ammunition Center, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, in support of U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC)-Automated Testing Systems Division (ATSD), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is currently seeking sources for the replacement/upgrade of digital test instruments for the Next Generation Automated Test System (NGATS). This Sources Sought is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Sources Sought. In preparation for a possible future procurement, ACC-NJ is performing this Sources Sought to explore a breakout strategy for this requirement. ARDEC-ATSD is interested in exploring the market capability to support this effort and determine if a competitive environment exists. The Statement of Objectives identified under this Sources Sought is as follows: STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES: The ARDEC-ATSD objectives are to replace/upgrade digital test instruments in the NGATS. The current stock of digital test instruments utilized by the NGATS have reached the end of their life cycle and have become obsolete. This effort shall be used to acquire, validate and deliver the next generation of digital instruments to be used in the NGATS. Through analysis, the Government has determined that supporting and maintaining the current digital instrument has become cost prohibitive and it would make economical sense to upgrade/replace the cards at this time. Upgrading/replacing the cards will greatly reduce the cost of ownership as well as provide additional test capability. DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW): The Draft Statement of Work (SOW) will be made available through the Procuring Contracting Officer upon request. To obtain a copy of the SOW, interested sources shall submit a valid DD Form 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement, a fully executed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and an AMSTA-AR Form 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire. In addition, each company shall include the following information as a part of their request for SOW: company name, address, Cage Code, DUNS number, company size, business point of contact, and technical point of contact. Interested parties shall submit a brief capability statement, no more than five (5) pages, demonstrating how they are capable of meeting this requirement. Standard corporate brochures are not desired. The capability statement should include the following: company name, address, telephone number, email address, technical point of contract, DUNS number, Cage Code and company size (please specify as either a Large Business, Foreign-Owned Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, 8(a) concern, Woman-Owned Small Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone concern, Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Service-Disabled Small Business), and technical description of ability to meet the requirement. In accordance with DFARS 252.204-7004, all contractors wishing to do business with the Department of Defense must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). This registration can be accomplished at the following website: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. Therefore, all interested and potential firms must be registered in SAM, and current firms must update their registrations regularly to reflect the most current company information and to maintain active status ensuring registration does not expire. Whether applying for assistance with awards, contracts, or other business opportunities, all entities are considered registrants. Registration in SAM in no way guarantees that a contract or assistance award will be issued. The following information is required to register in SAM: DUNS Number; Tax Identification Number (TIN) and Taxpayers Name; statistical information about your business; and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Information. This Sources Sought is for information purposes only and shall not be construed as a commitment or a promise of a contract by the Government. This is not a solicitation. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be published. If a RFP is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this website for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this survey. The Army is not seeking, and will not accept, unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government is not responsible and will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this notice. All information submitted will be held in a confidential status. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary. Please identify any proprietary information submitted. Any of the information stated above is subject to change. Information provided will not be returned. TELEPHONE INQUIRIES/SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The Government will accept questions via email ONLY. All submissions are requested to be made within seven (7) calendar days from the date of this publication, via electronic mail to the Point of Contact (POC) for this action: Ms. Vicki Bocchino, Contract Specialist, ACC-NJ-MA, email: victoria.r.bocchino.civ@mail.mil.
