- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to notify industry of the requirement changes to the TRIOSS procurement. The primary catalyst of this third SSN is the pattern of industry concern, recognized in evaluating the initial SSN responses, regarding the apparent broad scope of the TRIOSS requirement. Due to the market research information provided by industry, this requirement will concentrate on the Instructor/Operators support services for the Medical Simulation Training Centers (MSTC) and the Defense Health Administration (DHA) Medical Modeling and Simulation Training (MMAST). All of the other requirements will be met via upcoming ACC-Orlando procurements. 1. DESCRIPTION THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS INTENDED FOR SMALL BUSINESS ONLY. As large businesses are not permitted to respond, small businesses in all socioeconomic categories (including 8(a) Business Development Program, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business, etc.) are highly encouraged to respond with capabilities and recommendations in meeting this requirement to support a small business set-aside. If your company previously responded to the initial SSN, the Government requests your company provide an additional response, addressing the specific concerns outlined in Paragraph 5 of this notice. 2. BACKGROUND The requirements within TRIOSS are currently being satisfied by PEO STRI through existing IDIQ contract vehicles, inclusive of the Warfighter FOCUS (WFF) contract and Medical Modeling and Simulation Training (MMAST) contract. The U.S Army Contracting Command, Orlando (ACC-ORL) is currently considering the utilization of a Single Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (SA-IDIQ) contract to satisfy these service requirements. The Government has selected North American Industrial Code System (NAICS) code 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, with an associated size standard of $15M/Annually as part of its strategy. The anticipated ceiling value for the TRIOSS acquisition is estimated to be $195M. 3. PURPOSE Based on analysis from the initial TRIOSS SSN posted on 22 June 2015, PEO STRI is considering setting this requirement aside for small businesses to follow-on existing Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations (TADSS) related I/O support services, if market research supports doing so. The primary catalyst of the second SSN, issued 30 April 2015, was the pattern of industry concern, recognized in evaluating the initial SSN responses, regarding the apparent broad scope of the TRIOSS requirement. In an effort to further refine its acquisition strategy as well as mitigate potential risks, ACC-ORL is providing industry with supplementary information to facilitate in answering the questions outlined in paragraph 5 of this notice. The intent of Sources Sought Notice #3 is to identify small businesses capable of seamlessly managing the revised scope of the TRIOSS acquisition (outlined in para. 4 below), as well as propose viable approaches to challenges that may be encountered in implementing a multi-faceted I/O services acquisition. NOTE: This potential contract would require rapid execution (e.g. 3-6 week turnaround for proposal preparation, negotiations and award of task orders and change orders as they arise). Associated task orders would require the contractor(s) to provide a highly competent and culturally sensitive workforce capable of satisfying a breadth of unique services located at both CONUS and OCONUS locations, under multiple task orders, SECRET clearances, with overlapping performance periods. A sound management approach will be required to efficiently manage the complexity and vast scope of this requirement. 4. GENERAL SCOPE The following list of programs represent historical PEO STRI TADSS-related I/O support services currently being considered for the TRIOSS acquisition. NOTE: The programs outlined below are the same requirements as those identified in the initial SSN; however, percentages of the total scope have been applied to each sub-program as well as historical Full-Time Employee (FTE) counts (sub-paragraphs ii. and iii. below). While future requirements cannot be predicted, please use the general scope provided below in answering the questions stipulated in paragraph 5 of this notice. a.
