Summary The Florida National Guard is seeking potential sources and feedback capable of performing all functions within the Sources Sought Request to satisfy the Controlled Humidity Protection (CHP) System objectives. The FLARNG has been using CHP as part of an overarching Corrosion Preservation and Control (CPC) Program for over 20 years. The basis of this program is dehumidified storage either in shelters (new or modified existing ARNG buildings) or Operational Preservation (OP) lines used to dehumidify the crew/interior compartments of weapons systems and electronics shelters. The purpose of CHP is to reduce corrective maintenance by eliminating moisture induced failures, to reduce backlog, and to increase readiness rates. The current contract has expired and a new follow-on contract with a base year and four option years is planned. The new action will include repair and replacement of existing equipment and follow-on maintenance. The contractor shall provide all necessary parts, materials, equipment, shipping, labor and travel necessary to perform repairs to the Air Dehydration Units used in the CHP program. The equipment to be repaired and maintained include models ADU-1500-55G, ADU-2250-77G, ADU-1150-55G (Propane), and ADU-750-55G. Performance is planned to be at eight (8) Florida Army National Guard facilities located in Avon Park, Bradenton, Camp Blanding, Deland, Ft. Meyers, Palmetto, St. Petersburg, and West Palm Beach. Contractors with the expertise to successfully perform the requirements outlined in the Sources Sought Request attached are encouraged to submit a capability statement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent action. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DOD contract and with their local SBA office. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14. Instructions 1. The information below provides a "Contractor Capability Survey" to allow you to document your company's capabilities in meeting these requirements. 2. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, please complete and return the Contractor Capability Survey below. Response format and due date information is specified at the bottom portion of this notice.

If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.). 3.

The acquisition strategy for this requirement has not been decided; however, the Florida Army National Guard is contemplating setting this acquisition aside for small businesses if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of providing at least 50% of the entire scope of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used.
