- Description
- The proposed Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC) acquisition will provide valuable assistance to military and commercial researchers and engineers in the areas of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability (R/M/Q/S/I) of DoD systems, military systems, and the industrial and research base, which supports such systems. The RIAC is one of thirteen contractor-operated DoD chartered Information Analysis Centers (IAC) which collect, analyze, synthesize, and disseminate scientific and technical information (STI) and promote standardization within their respective fields. The RIAC is the focal point to improve the R/M/Q/S/I of systems and manufactured components. The RIAC contractor shall continually monitor and extract R/M/Q/S/I related STI from worldwide engineering, technical and scientific information sources, including documents, databases, and electronic, paper, and other information media. In order to facilitate use of STI, the contractor shall perform studies and analyses; collect, synthesize, and disseminate STI; develop and maintain inventories of relevant information, easily searchable and accessible information repositories, and experts; and provide scientific and technical advice to Government, industry, academia, and other approved domestic users. In addition, the contractor shall perform Technical Area Tasks (TATS) relevant to this technology, for the purpose of solving specific problems or providing analytical support. The contractor shall ensure maximum use of the resources of other DoD IACs. RIAC information collection, analysis, and dissemination efforts should facilitate use of existing STI, while reducing unnecessary duplication of research, information collection and analysis, and information dissemination efforts. The RIAC should be operated in a manner that reduces incentives to establish redundant collection of R/M/S/Q/I related STI. The contractor shall identify and seek out opportunities to provide R/M/S/Q/I information to DoD components, other U.S. Government agencies and departments, their contractors, and other authorized users of RAC information and services. The RIAC will provide services, products, and training. A Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) base contract period is anticipated, with one, 36-month base period, and one, 24-month option period. TATs will be either completion or term form. The successful offeror is required to have a Secret Clearance. This solicitation is being posted using Full-And-Open-Competition in accordance with FAR Part 6. Due to the range of services to be supported under the contract, and the rapidly changing nature of R&D, the Government encourages the contractor to team or sub-contract with companies that provide new and innovative services. Comments or questions prior to closing date: In light of the Government?s intent to not hold discussions (i.e., to not allow final proposal revisions ? previously referred to ?best and final offers?), Offerors are encouraged to submit questions, concerns and/or comments to the Contracting Officer at http://iac.dtic.mil/framesets/resources_2.htm, about any aspect of this solicitation that they are not willing or able to comply with; however, the Government reserves the right not to address any questions or comments received after 27 May 2004/5:00 p.m. EST from prospective Offerors. Responses will be posted at the same internet address, and in the same document approximately 8 June 2004. An amendment may be issued before the closing date for receipt of proposals if that change is considered to result in offers that better meet the needs of the Government. The Request For Proposal is attached. The closing date for offers is 29 Jun 2004/5:00 p.m. EST.
