T -- OMNIBUS GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION AND IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE SERVICES SOL NMA301-98-R-0193 DUE 060598 POC Howard W. Pierce, Contracting Office, 301-227-1904 The purpose of this modification is to change the synopsis to replace the phrase "Photogrammetry" with "Imagery Intelligence and Photogrammetry". This synopsis also adds information regarding the posting of the Draft Request for Proposal, and information regarding the Pre-Proposal conference. The revised synopsis is reproduced in full below: The National Imagery and Mapping Agency has a need for Geospatial Information and Imagery Intelligence Services to support its on-going mission. These services fall into four broad functional areas: 1. Surveying Services; 2. Mapping and Charting Services; 3. Imagery Intelligence and Photogrammetric Services; and 4. Consolidated Services(to consist of all or any combination of areas 1, 2, and 3 above). In an effort to streamline the procurement system, these services are being accumulated under a single Omnibus Geospatial Information Solicitation. The Government intends to award approximately 4-20 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts under this consolidated solicitation using a "Qualifications Based Selection (QBS)" process that conforms with the general provisions, spirit and legislative intent of the Brooks Act. The contracts will each contain a base year plus 4 option years, with a minimum task order amount of $1,500.00, a maximum task order amount of $30,000,000.00, a minimum guaranteed contract amount of $3,000.00, and a maximum contract amount to be separately negotiated on each contract. While the Government will consider all responses to the solicitation, NIMA is especially interested in obtaining end-to-end services. It is therefore in the offerors' best interests to establish teams that can facilitate end-to-end services. The Government intends to utilize a two-step QBS process for acquisition of these services. In Phase I, offerors will submit their technical qualifications using Standard Forms 254 and 255. Proposals will be evaluated for technical capability to include past performance in terms of customer satisfaction, delivery performance, and quality; specialized experience and technical competence; capacity of the firm; professional qualifications; and small business participation. Some respondents may be required to provide oral communications as a form of fact-finding. Those offerors who are selected in Phase I as the most highly qualified will be requested to provide pricing information in the form of labor hours and overhead rates in Phase II. Those most highly qualified offerors who submit reasonable rates will be considered to be in the competitive range, and negotiations will commence. All most highly qualified offerors with whom the Government can negotiate a contract will be awarded an IDIQ contract. Task Orders under the contract will be individually negotiated. This synopsis is NOT a request for proposals. NIMA anticipates that the solicitation will be released on or about 05 MAY 1998. At that time, a copy of the solicitation will be placed on the NIMA Home Page at ww.nima.mil Offerors without access to the World Wide Web, and wishing to receive a copy of the solicitation, should send either a letter to the Contracting Office at 4600 Sangamore Road, Bethesda, MD, 20816-5003 (ATTN: PCO-E St. D-5), or an e-mail to pierceh@nima.mil. Additionally, The Government intends to hold a Pre-Proposal Conference at the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC), Howell Auditorium (Building 226), Fort Belvoir, VA, at 9:00 local time on 20 May 1998 to discuss the solicitation. NIMA has placed a copy of the Draft Request for Proposals on its homepage which can be accessed at www.nima.mil. All potential offerors are requested to review the Draft Request for Proposals and provide written comments to the Contracting Office by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 1 May 1998.
