The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC)/Specialized Contracts Office (PIK)
invites prospective contractors to review the Draft Request for Proposal

disadvantaged businesses, will be used to evaluate the existing acquisition
strategy and the Government reserves the right to cancel one or both STS
solicitations.. All questions and comments are to be submitted to the
contracting officer by the closing date. The closing date for this
announcement is 30 March 2007. The NAICS Code for this action is 541710,
paragraph 11c which defines a small business as 1,000 employees. This draft
solicitation for STS is for an unrestricted (full and open) competition.
SMC/PIK allows contractors to form teaming relationships for this effort.
Responses from small business and small, disadvantaged business firms are
highly encouraged. Firms responding should indicate if they are a small
business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, and 8(a) firms,
historically black colleges or universities, and minority institutions.
Industry responses, particularly from small and small disadvantaged business,
will be used to evaluate the existing acquisition strategy. The STS
requirement is for the acquisition of technical services covering the
following four core competencies: Systems Engineering, Specialty Engineering,
Developmental Planning, and Support Engineering. The ordering period under
these IDIQ contracts is anticipated to be sixty month from date of contract
award and the estimated ceiling value is subject to change. To prevent
conflicting roles, which may bias the contractor's judgment or objectivity,
and to preclude the contractor from obtaining an unfair competitive advantage
in concurrent or future acquisitions, the contractor will be required to
accept an Organizational Conflict of Interest clause in the IDIQ contract. In
order to be eligible for award of a delivery order, additional Organizational
conflict of Interest restrictions may be imposed by the government. The
contractor must possess, or be able to obtain, an Industrial Facility
Clearance of Top Secret at the time of award. Personnel supporting activities
under these IDIQ contracts must be US citizens and have a minimum of a secret
security clearance. The contractor must have several personnel with Top Secret
clearances to support requirements that may be awarded. The place of
performance will occur at SMC, its Detachments or the contractor's facility.
