SUPPLIER UTILIZATION THROUGH RESPONSIVE GROUPED ENTERPRISES (SURGE) This notice is an addendum to Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SP0410-97-S-0005, published October 2,1997 and amended on January 5, 1988. This addendum is to reestablish a closing date for submission of abstracts and concept papers for consideration. Interested sources must submit an original abstract and four (4) copies to Ms. Sherrill King by 2:00 p.m. March 5, 1999. All requirements set forth in the BAA and Amendment are still in effect. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's requirements may submit an abstract. Firms wishing to submit an abstract may obtain the BAA and Proposer Information Packet (PIP) from the DSCR web page (www.dscr.dla.mil) using the BAA heading. DLA will consider all abstracts received; however, firms that fail to submit an abstract will not be eligible for future award(s) under this addendum. Any firm that submitted an abstract in response to the original or amended BAA will automatically be considered eligible for award under this addendum. Therefore, any such firm need not submit another abstract, unless the firm wishes to submit a different or changed abstract because of this addendum. Each offeror will be notified in writing of the merits of its abstract. Regardless of the merit of any abstract, all offerors will be allowed to submit a full concept paper by a specified date and time. Failure to submit a concept paper will preclude consideration for award. Concepts that are considered advantageous to the government may be selected for award. If competing abstracts are received, the government will first evaluate abstracts for merit based upon the criteria identified in the original BAA, the amended BAA and PIP. The selected concept will form the basis of the statement of work and ultimate contract award. If only one abstract is received, it will be evaluated based solely upon the criteria identified in the original and amended BAA. If the concept is considered advantageous to the government, the concept paper will form the basis for the statement of work and the ultimate contract award. For any additional information, please contact Sherrill King via e-mail at ssking@dscr.dla.mil. Posted 01/15/99 (W-SN288496).
