Linguist/Analyst Support Services

Solicitation FA7037-16-R-0001 is a request for proposal issued by the Department of Defense, specifically AMC DET 2 Jbsa for the 25th Air Force, to secure non-personal Linguist and Analyst Support Services. This total small business set-aside, also referenced as a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside in some documents, requires the provision of personnel, equipment, and supervision to perform foreign language collection, interpretation, and translation of mission data. The scope of work includes labor for linguists, analysts, managers, and instructors across various global locations, including Offutt AFB, Fort Meade, RAF Mildenhall, Kadena, and Kunia. Key technical requirements include ILRT level 3 proficiency for CAT II and III linguists and ADET training certifications for Cyber Mission Forces roles. The contract structure consists of one base year and three option years, with a previous incumbent contract value of approximately 56 million dollars. The procurement process involves a Firm Fixed Price pricing model and a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation. Offerors must demonstrate past performance through a specialized PPI tool and questionnaires, focusing on recruitment and OCONUS management. Due to the sensitive nature of the intelligence collection and cyber mission support, a facility clearance of Top Secret is required, with access to SCI, COMSEC, and Restricted Data. The solicitation underwent several amendments, ultimately extending the response deadline to January 6, 2017. Deliverables are managed through a Contract Data Requirements List, which mandates regular technical reports, meeting minutes, and annual reports to ensure operational compliance.
