The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) intends to procure Engineering and Technical Services (ETS) in support of various Department of Defense (DoD) components, primarily composed of Navy SYSCOMS such as Naval Space and Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) and the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). The required ETS are to provide NAWCAD's Shipboard Communications Branch (Code 4.5.8.3) with technical and engineering support needed to meet it's various program responsibilities, which include AEGIS and other class shipbuilder programs. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on an unrestricted, full and open competitive basis. Furthermore, the procurement will be conducted on a ''best value'' basis requiring the submission of cost/price, technical, and past performance proposals. The technical proposal, with consideration to past performance, will be more important in the overall evaluation base than the price proposal and will address the following factors: technical approach, management approach, and personnel qualifications. The contract will have a basic ordering/performance period of 12 months with four (4) one-year options. The estimated number of hours for the basic contract is 66,920. The estimated hours for options years one through four, respectively, are as follows: Opt I=91,776, Opt II=108,984, Opt III=118,544, Opt IV=139,576. The contemplated contract type is a cost plus fixed fee (CPFF), level of effort (LOE)/term type contract. This action is not considered to be a follow-on to an existing contract but does, however, contain portions of Statements of Work from two prior contracts: (1) N00140-94-C-BD34 with ManTech and (2) N00421-93-D-CD20 with EMA. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency in response to this solicitation. The request for proposals will be issued on or about 01 Oct 1996. A pre-proposal conference will be held and the time and date will be set in the RFP. END OF SYNOPSIS FULL TEXT VERSION. (0240)
