This is the first synopsis for the OMB Circular A-76 cost comparison study of the Supply, Aircraft Maintenance, and Transportation functions at Hickam AFB, HI. The Total number of people affected by the study is approximately 500. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to manage and operate these three Logistics functional areas. Given obvious economies and efficiencies among these three Logistics functions, only one contract will be awarded. This action will not be set-aside for small businesses, however, offerors will be evaluated on their commitment to offer substantial subcontracting opportunities for small businesses. Contract period of performance will be a basic one year period and four 1-year options. The solicitation will be available on or about 15 July 97 with a planned award date early in the last quarter of FY98. THIS SOLICITATION WILL NOT RESULT IN A CONTRACT IF GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE IS DETERMINED TO BEMORE ADVANTAGEOUS. Requests for copies of this solicitation must be in writing and provide the business size and area of expertise. The performance work statement will be performance-based. The government will not provide details on how to perform the work to meet stated requirements and standards. The government's interests are in value-added enhancements that provide savings and efficiencies. The government is contemplating the use of a fixed-price award fee contract and may require pre-proposal oral presentations for the management area of the solicitation. We anticipate releasing a request for comment draft solicitation (Sections C, L, and M) in early May. We intend to follow a policy on maximum practicable disclosure throughout the study period.
