ALL POSTINGS FOR FA7037 WILL BE UNDER THIS NOTICE! PLEASE NOTE: THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS IS CLOSED. This is a Sources Sought Synopsis, for market research purposes only, and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). 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, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA) is seeking possible sources to provide services to support the AFISRA Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) requirements, as outlined in attachment 1, DRAFT PWS (under NAICS 541512). Comments on this NAICS and suggestions for alternatives must include supporting rationale. This acquisition will also require contractor personnel have a final Top Secret Security clearance and be DCID 6/4 eligible with a current SSBI. The period of performance will be for a one-year base, with 4 one-year options. Possible task are outlined in the attached 4 attachments. Attachment 4 is the ID/IQ PWS and attachments 1 through 3 are the requirements for the current contracts. These tasks are samples of what type of work could possibly be put on task order, after ID/IQ contract is awarded. While this PWS identifies the general service area, the suite of resulting contracts (i.e. task orders) is intended to satisfy the full range of DCGS related requirements within this area of services. With the pace of technology change, it is difficult to anticipate how the Government's requirements and individual programs will evolve over the life of these contracts. The specific scope of each effort will be based on the specific tasks to be set forth in individual task orders (TOs), but may include tasks as outlined in attachments 1 through 3. This requirement will have a small business element. Understand that the Government will be looking for relevant experience of similar size and scope. When preparing responses to Sources Sought be sure to include any teaming or subcontracting possibilities. There will be a Small Business Industry Day established for this requirement, tentatively scheduled for the week of 27-31 Aug 12. The industry day date and location will be released on/about 1 Aug 12. Interested parties are requested to submit a statement of capability outlining past work that is related to this requirement as stated above, not to exceed 5 pages. The statement of capability shall include: I. Contractor Name a. Address b. Point of Contact (POC) c. POC phone number(s) and e-mail addresses d. Cage code e.
