- Draft PWS MC COOL 13 Dec 2012 RFI Summary Request for Information M00264-13-RFI-0205 Marine Corps COOL Support Services 13 Dec 2012 PURPOSE: This Request for Information (RFI) is an effort to conduct market research for use in formulating an acquisition plan/strategy to obtain support services to provide assistance to Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) to align civilian credentialing to Marine Corps occupational specialties. This RFI allows potential contractors to submit a non-binding statement of interest and documentation demonstrating their corporate capabilities and suggestions that will allow the Government to refine its potential course of action. The RFI effort is intended to assess industry service capabilities and solicit feedback for acquisition planning purposes. BACKGROUND: This requirement is being driven by two initiatives: 1) Guidance from the Department of Defense (DoD) to all Services to combine joint functionality/ modeling of similar or duplicative training and programs; and 2) the Marine Corps' own effort to incorporate civilian credentialing opportunities for Active and Reserve Marines in their personal and professional development roadmaps. These initiatives have led to a requirement to develop an internet based website designed to provide Marines with information on how to fulfill the requirements of civilian certifications related to their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). Modeled after the Navy's COOL website, MC COOL will provide learning pathways to civilian certification, apprenticeship and licensure. CORE OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED: The draft Performance Work Statement provided with this RFI sets forth the work efforts required to support the Marine Cool requirement. The scope of this effort shall encompass the following objectives/tasks: • Research and analysis of civilian credentials relating to Marine occupations • Develop internet based resource that catalogs and defines comprehensive information on occupational credentials • Develop a web-based credentialing portal to educate on credentialing opportunities and roadmap • Provide website maintenance and Program Support. • Provide user support for supported systems through the contract period. • Provide server hosting for supported systems. INSTRUCTIONS: Responses to this RFI shall not exceed ten (10) pages, including cover letter, discussion and contact information. Subject response must contain: (1) Capability statement sufficient to demonstrate performance acumen directly related to the objectives; (2) Two customer references describing similar work efforts; (3) Commercial published labor categories and rates used by respondents for similar services (if available-this does not count against the 10 page limit); and (4) Other material relevant to establishing the core competencies of the firm. Please identify Large/Small Business size, CAGE Code and GSA Schedule contract number if available. Response is due by 7 January 2013, 3:00 PM. Please submit e-mail responses to Lawrence Rice, Customer Liaison, at: Lawrence.rice@usmc.mil NOTES: Issuance of this notice does not constitute any obligation whatsoever on the part of the Government to procure these services or to issue a solicitation. The Marine Corps is neither seeking proposals nor accepting unsolicited proposals, and responses to this notice cannot be accepted as offers. Any information the vendor considers proprietary should be clearly marked as such. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. See FAR 52.215-3, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes. Insert: Information ONLY.
