April 2024 Purpose: Synopsis of STEP 2.0 This notice satisfies the requirement to synopsize the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Scientific and Technical Engagement Partnership (STEP) 2.0 contract action IAW FAR 5.201(a) and (b)(1)(i) as well as represents the pre-solicitation notice IAW FAR 5.204. It has been posted to the Governmentwide Point of Entry (www.sam.gov) IAW FAR 5.201(b)(1). This notice does not constitute the solicitation; proposals are not requested at this time. STEP 2.0 represents the follow-on effort to the majority of the requirements that fell under the STEP 1.0 contract HDTRA1-17-C-0019 with Leidos, Inc., which ended in November 2022. A sources sought notice was previously published on www.sam.gov related to the effort on 05 August 2021 under HDTRA121R0046. A Virtual Industry Day was held between 19-21 October 2021 after being announced on www.sam.gov. Then, a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Portal with a cross-posting on www.sam.gov on 11 July 2023 under HDTRA123R0003. The notice ID for STEP 2.0 has since changed to reflect the intended solicitation number of HDTRA124R0042. Scope Description: The STEP 2.0 scope is similar to what was described in the draft Statement of Work posted with the draft RFP under HDTRA123R0003 and is summarized as follows. The Scientific and Technical Engagement Partnership (STEP) 2.0 Program builds from the previous STEP effort, continuing to advance the BTRP mission by establishing and leveraging a robust pool of scientific and technical expertise to efficiently, and effectively execute planned and emerging BTRP requirements. BTRP utilizes international engagements to promote science and technical collaborations with partner nations; regional and international organizations; and the global scientific community to foster and maintain ethical, constructive, and sustainable partnerships that address health security threats. STEP 2.0 activities promote best practices in biological safety and security (BS&S); improve partner countries’ capabilities to safely, rapidly, and accurately detect and report infectious diseases; and establish and enhance international partnerships. The purpose of STEP 2.0 is to establish a network of biosurveillance and biorisk management (BRM) expertise spanning a variety of domestic and foreign collaborators and sectors, including academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, scientists, mentors, and commercial entities. The Government intends to release the solicitation as a request for proposals (RFP) under FAR Part 15 with the goal of awarding a single, standalone “C” type contract to one vendor.
