CANCELLATION NOTICE! Draft Request For Proposal (RFP): Contractor Administrative Business Support (CABS) Services IDIQ

CANCELLATION NOTICE FOR CABS IDIQ The Government has recently reassessed its procurement strategy to replace the current SAS and SFS contracts. FABS and CABS (both issued under separate FBO announcments) were developed based on a funding projection of $755 M in total support over the life of these two programs. By late August 2011, the Government acquisition process resulted in the approval of $271 M in total procurement authority. This represented a $484 M (64%) reduction in what was initially projected. At this level, SMC dtermined that the benefits of managing and sustaining the two programs separately were not effective for a variety of factors. These factors included cost, acquisition cycle, efficiency, and overall economy of effort. As a result of this development, the SMC team has decided to CANCEL FABS and CABS as separate source selections and consolidate the requirements under a single procurement vehicle. SMC estimates the consolidation of SAS and SFS optimizes overall efficiency, effectiveness and consistency in managing both continuous change and the Advisory and Assistance Support Profiles. SMC considers the benefits of consolidation exceed those of other alternatives. Based on what has been stated above, SMC Acquisition and Financial Support (SAFS) has been established as the follow-on acquisition for Advisory and Assistance Support Services currently provided by the SAS and SFS programs.
