Below is a list and brief description of each attached document associated with this Sources Sought notice: Attachment 1. Draft COCESS Statement of Work (SOW) Template The Draft SOW Template is intended to be used by Air Force installations for future COCESS requirements. Each installation will need to customize the template for their specific location. Currently, the draft SOW template includes requirements related to the TRIRIGA IT system, but not all Air Force installations have migrated to the TRIRIGA software system. Attachment 2. Draft Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Template The Draft Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Template is intended to be used by Air Force installations for future COCESS requirement solicitations. The document describes proposal requirements for interested offerors. Please note, the document references "Attachment Y, Pricing Discount Coefficient Table" and "Attachment K, Common COCESS Items Price List." A draft version of Attachment Y has been provided as part of this Sources Sought notice. Attachment K will not be provided until an individual installation publishes a RFP. However, Attachment K will likely be created utilizing a percentage of the Common COCESS Parts List items found in Attachment 5 of this Sources Sought. Attachment 3. Draft Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items Template The Draft Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items is intended to be used by Air Force installations for future COCESS requirement solicitations. The document describes proposal evaluation procedures. Please note, the document references "Attachment Y, Pricing Discount Coefficient Table" and "Attachment K, Common COCESS Items Price List." A draft version of Attachment Y has been provided as part of this Sources Sought notice. Attachment K will not be provided until an individual installation publishes a RFP. However, Attachment K will likely be created utilizing a percentage of the Common COCESS Parts List items found in Attachment 5 of this Sources Sought. Attachment 4. Draft Attachment Y, Pricing Discount Coefficient Table Template The (Draft) Attachment Y, Pricing Discount Coefficient Table is referenced in the 3 preceding attachments of this Sources Sought. Per the draft SOW and Instructions to Offerors templates, Attachment Y is to be completed by offerors as part of their proposal. Offerors will be required to propose open source databases in order to price COCESS items. Offerors will also propose discount percentages in Attachment Y against their proposed open source databases for each category of COCESS item. Offeror's are thereby committing to sell items found in their proposed databases at the advertised list price of an item multiplied by the corresponding categories' proposed discount coefficient factor. Attachment 5. Common COCESS Parts List The Common COCESS Parts List is a sample of items previously purchased at COCESS stores across the Air Force. Attachments 3 and 4 of this Sources Sought reference an Attachment K, Common COCESS Items Price List. Attachment K does not currently exist, but will be developed prior to issuance of any resulting COCESS RFP. Attachment K will likely be developed utilizing items identified in the current Common COCESS Parts List. The purpose of providing this list as part of the Sources Sought is to solicit feedback from industry regarding any perceived challenges with proposing prices against items found on the Parts List utilizing the proposal procedures described in the preceding Sources Sought attachments. Attachment 6. Draft Material Control Playbook The Material Control Playbook is referenced in the SOW and provides detailed information on work tasks that will be required of future COCESS Contractors with regards to retrieving and inputting data into the TRIRIGA IT system. Please note, this is not a formal RFP, and no contract will result from this notice, nor does it commit the Government to any acquisition for these services.
