This effort encompasses comprehensive program management, logistics support (including helpdesk, maintenance, and spares/repair management), Operational, Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) impact analysis, test and evaluation, Configuration Control Board (CCB) support, and obsolescence and systems engineering. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for tracking and reporting critical system performance metrics (such as System Availability, Mission Capable, and MTBF rates), managing program data (including GFM-A, materials, shipping, and travel), and providing computer resource support, Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), cybersecurity, technical manual maintenance, and system upgrades due to technical refresh. While worldwide support is required, there is no requirement for contractor travel to overseas locations.

This proposed effort is a total small business set-aside. The Government has determined, IAW FAR Subpart 19.103, that the NAICS classification of 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services best describes the principal nature of the product and service being acquired and represents the greatest percentage of the contract price. This classification is assigned a Small Business Association (SBA) size standard of annual receipts of less than $19.5M. If you disagree with this assessment of a total set-aside, please notify the Contracting Officer within seven (7) days of notice.

The proposal shall state a validity period of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days from the date of submittal.

The Government will evaluate and establish a contract vehicle with a four-year base ordering and performance period with a six-month extension option. Funds for any agreed upon minimum order and future orders will be obligated by delivery/task order and not by the contract which directly results from this solicitation.
