- This is a follow on notice to previously issued Request for Information (RFI) Sources Sought Notices under Solicitation Number W58RGZ-11-R-0314 issued on 13 May 2011, W58RGZ-14-R-0046 issued on 07 November 2013, and W58RGZ-15-R-0166 issued on 28 January 2015. All notices were made under classification code, quote mark J - Maintenance, repair & building of equipment. quote mark This sources sought notice is being published in accordance with FAR Parts 10.002 and 15.201 and is a Request for Information only in support of a market survey. Issuance is for planning purposes only, to assist in identifying potential sources capable of supporting the Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aircraft Project Office (NSRWA PO) Worldwide Logistics Support Services - Contractor Logistics Support (WLSS-C) for non-standard rotary wing aircraft. An Industry Day and RFIs were previously conducted under Solicitation Numbers W58RGZ-11-R-0314 and W58RGZ-14-R-0046. However, those notices included multiple requirements; e.g. training, aircraft modifications/depot level maintenance and contractor logistic support. In addition, another RFI to identify potential sources specific to only the CLS effort with contemplated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 488190 was conducted under Solicitation Number W58RGZ-15-R-0166. Responses were limited and did not support previous market survey results. Although, responses to previous RFIs will be utilized in completing the final market survey, this RFI is being issued to ensure that market survey results of previous RFIs are an accurate reflection of the current market and that adequate competition exists to support WLSS-C services. This RFI includes additional information; DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) and market research questionnaire. This is only a Sources Sought notice and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ). A solicitation is not being issued at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. The Government will not award a contract based on this notice and will not reimburse respondents for any cost associated with responses to this notice. Responses to this sources sought synopsis will be used for a market survey analysis that will assist in determining if the contemplated acquisition could be conducted under full and open competition, or if the contemplated acquisition should be set-aside for small business pursuant to FAR Part 19, Small Business Programs. The Government is contemplating NAICS Code 488190, Other Support Activities for Air Transportation with a size standard of $30 Million. Respondents shall indicate in their response whether they qualify as a small business or qualify under other specialty designated programs such as Veteran Owned Service Disabled (VOSD), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), 8(a) or others under this NAICS code.

If you are a small business, and if the Government were to set this acquisition aside for small business, you would be required to comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting and 13 CFR 125.6 (known as the 50% rule). Rules on affiliation and joint ventures are at FAR 19.101, Size Standards, 13 CFR 121.103, 13 CFR 124.513 and 13 CFR 125.6. The small business prime contractor must meet this requirement (1) individually, or (2) together with other small business members of a formal joint venture, or (3) together with a small number of small business subcontractors forming an informal joint venture, in which those subcontractors meet the definition of ostensible subcontractor as set forth in 13 CFR 121.103(h)(4). Team members in such formal and informal joint ventures are exempt from affiliation rules under the conditions set forth in 13 CFR 121.103(h)(3). There is no limit to the number of other team subcontractors or size status of subcontractors. The Government anticipates prohibiting cross-teaming. Cross-teaming arrangements include a prime offeror participating as a team member with another prime contractor. The Government also anticipates prohibiting pass through arrangements as defined in FAR 52.215-22 and FAR 52.215-23. If the acquisition is competed using full and open competition, then the subcontracting goal will be determined as a percentage of the overall contract value. Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this sources sought synopsis is strictly voluntary. Responses will not be returned. No entitlements to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges to the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses or the Government's use of such information. The information obtained from industry responses to this notice may be used in the development of an acquisition strategy and future RFP. The Government anticipates awarding a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) task order contract. The contractor must have the ability to maintain a SECRET facilities clearance and employees with a personnel security clearance at the SECRET level.
