The Government kindly request industry to comment or submit questions regarding the DRAFT RFP and applicable attachments no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Time, Tuesday 15 November 2016. UPDATE: 22 AUGUST 2016: Response date corrected to 2 September 2016. UPDATE: 18 AUGUST 2016: SOURCE SOUGHT NOTICE (SSN): The Government is currently refining an acquisition strategy for the VPSS WBPS effort and anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with subsequent competitive Delivery/Task Orders for VPSS WBPS requirements, representing the best value to the Government. Joint Project Management Office for Medical Modeling and Simulation (JPMO MMS) is supplementing their initial Market Research to determine interested sources and capabilities of industry for the procurement of WBPS support services. This SSN is a follow up to the DRAFT RFP posted to FBO.gov and will supplement market research efforts and acquisition strategy. This post is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a commitment by the US Government. The JPMO MMS intends for the VPSS WBPS Multiple Award Contract (MAC) to procure the required WBPS and all necessary support services/supplies. JPMO MMS may procure the ancillary WBPS support services and/or supplies via a VPSS WBPS MAC Task or Delivery Order without requiring the WBPS system on the same Task or Delivery Order. Delivery Orders for predominately WBPS support items will be procured via Lot I, II, or III, as outlined on the DRAFT RFP previously posted to FBO.gov. However, Task Orders for predominantly WBPS support services will be procured using a separate WBPS Lot. Pending the results of this market research, it is anticipated WBPS Lot IV will be established to procure WBPS support services for Lot I. High Fidelity WBPS, and Lot III, Veterinary WBPS. Interested parties are invited to submit a capabilities statement indicating their ability to provide the products and/or services described herein. Responders are advised that the US Government will not reimburse any contractor for any information or administrative costs incurred in the response to this SSN. The contractor will assume all costs associated with responding to this SSN. Not responding to this SSN does not preclude participation in any future RFP or other solicitation, if any is issued. There is no formal solicitation available at this time. No award will be made because of this market survey. If a formal solicitation is generated later, a solicitation notice will be published. All information shall be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The applicable North American Industry Classification System Code for VPSS WBPS Lot IV (Support Services) is 541990, All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.
