- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT-The Government is issuing this Sources Sought announcement as part of market research for FSR support for ground based and low altitude electronic warfare (EW) radio frequency (RF) systems in support of missions in all Combatant Command, and other Areas of Operation as they are identified. The FSRs will provide technical support to end users of EW/RF systems, by training EW officers and individual units on system maintenance and operation. FSRs will travel to customers in both Contiguous United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. This is supporting Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (NSWC Crane) Rapid Mission Integration & Interoperability Expeditionary Electronic Warfare Division. Systems currently being supported are the ones identified in the Statement of Work (SOW) provided as Attachment 1. This procurement is anticipated to be an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract with cost-only line items with a five-year period of performance. The draft SOW is being provided with the issuance of the sources sought. Interested small businesses should submit a capabilities statement package of no more than fifteen pages demonstrating ability to perform the services outlined in the draft SOW. The attached SOW provides additional information about the required tasking. It is requested that, in response to this Sources Sought Announcement, a vendor identify whether it has the capability to perform all of the tasking or only specific portions of it. The Government will evaluate responses to determine set-aside viability. Also, if the vendor has any questions about requirements or structure of the SOW, please identify those in the response. The draft SOW is being provided with the issuance of this Sources Sought announcement for consideration and feedback from Industry to formulate a final SOW for issuance with the RFP. This announcement is a public invitation. Failure to participate or provide written feedback to the draft SOW will not preclude abstaining vendors from bidding on possible future solicitations. This announcement is part of the full-, free-, and open- competition process, which encourages industry and academia to help shape Government requirements to match what is possible, affordable, and timely. Failure to participate in this process or to provide written feedback may result in a future Government SOW and/or specification over which the abstaining vendors have limited influence in the acquisition process, and may deprive abstaining vendors of potentially valuable direct early interaction with Contracting officials and acquisition planners.

NSWC Crane makes no implied or in fact contracts by issuing this RFI.
