Universal Support Plan

The Technical Support Office of the United States Air Force Band, Bolling AFB, DC is seeking sources for a service agreement. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for informational and planning purposes only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be made as a result of this RFI. The Air Force will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this RFI. This FedBizOps notice is an announcement seeking market information on business capable of providing the services as described herein. Bolling AFB is currently conducting market research to determine qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources. The information requested by this RFI will be used within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. Should a future requirement(s) evolve from this preliminary planning process, it is anticipated the period of performance will be a base year with four (4) one-year options pending. For the purpose of this RFI the anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330, Engineering Services and the size standard is $4.5M. It is anticipated the vendor will provide a service plan based on a pre-determined number of "units." A "unit" equates to one hour of time (service and labor), or equates to parts and materials that equal the cost of one hour of time. Vendors will be evaluated on the cost per unit, professional certifications, and their abilities to provide the services as outlined below. As an example, the USAF Band might request to contract for 25,000 units. This is either 25,000 hours of time, or parts and materials equal to the cost of that time, or (more likely) a combination of the two. In this example, the vendor would submit a bid that indicates the cost of providing that much time. As an example, if the vendor decided that an hour of time equated to $150, the cost of the contract would be $150 x 25,000 = $3.75M. The vendor should be able to provide the following services, to be used incrementally in "Units." I. Maintenance agreement: maintaining, repairing, and replacing recording studio and live sound equipment. a. Equipment lists will be attached at the end of the document b.
