B -- STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PERSONAL PROPERTY PROGRAM Sources Sought PPP Re-Engineering, Due 030396, point of contact Mrs. Un Hui Young (703) 681-7891. Note: This does not constitute a solicitation. The Military Traffic Management Command is seeking sources to provide all personnel, equipment, and materials to conduct an analysis of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Personal Property Program. This will entail the collection and evaluation of data on the current DoD Personal Property Program and a pilot program which will test a re-engineered approach to the movement of personal property for the DoD. Recipient and their subcontractors and affiliates of any subsequent award action will be ineligible to compete on any requirements resulting from the final product of this action. This requirement includes collecting and evaluating data on personal property transportation functions, such as on time pickups, on time deliveries, claims information, member satisfaction of the services and overall movement of their property, and related traffic management reports. Further, the contractor will be required to evaluate the impact on small businesses participating in the movement of DoD personal property, assess personal property transportation costs and determine if the personal property pilot program is economically justified, achieves a higher level of service and lower claims frequency than the current personal property program. Approximately twenty percent (20%) of the existing personal property program will be tested which equates to an estimated one hundred ninety-five thousand (195,000) personal property shipments moving over the course of eighteen (18) months. A pre-payment audit and certification of designated personal property bills/invoices will be required on the existing personal property programs well as the follow-on personal property pilot program. Statistical sampling of the shipments must identify the bills/invoices requiring pre-payment audit to ensure a ninety-five percent (95%) accuracy rate. Prior to the pilot beginning, the contractor will be required to establish a baseline of the existing personal property program's performance by collecting data and evaluating the information for comparison purposes between the existing personal property program and the pilot program. This base lining will be for a period of six months and will consist of approximately 65,000 shipments. A statistical random sampling of these shipments must be performed to ensure ninety-five percent (95%) accuracy. Payment and cost data will also be collected during the base lining for comparison with the pilot program. Potential sources are invited to respond with the following information: 1. Evidence of progressive and responsible experience in investigative pre-payment auditing of personal property bills/invoices, together with program performance evaluation/measurement, i.e., government, corporate and individual customers: a. Discuss the experience of key personnel, number of years experience in investigative pre-payment auditing of personal property bills/invoices, rate of recovery experience, ability to conduct electronic commerce and experience in evaluation of performance and costing data. b. Describe present work force and ability to provide adequately trained personnel to perform this requirement. c. Explain capability to expand operations to efficiently respond to the peak summer moving season. 2. Evidence of sufficient financial capacity, working capital and other technical and management resources to perform this requirement without assistance from the government. 3. Describe your capability to provide required data electronically to the government. 4. Explain in detail how data will be captured, manipulated and provided to the government in various formats for management information reports. Interested small business concerns should provide all the information requested above and a positive statement of eligibility as a small business concern. All responses should reference this notice and should be received within thirty (30) working days from the date of this announcement. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code is 8742 and the small business size standard is five (5.0) million dollars annual gross revenue for the last three fiscal years.
