The Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) FOR INFORMATION OR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. As part of its market research, the AO is issuing this RFI to determine if there exists an adequate number of qualified and interested contractors capable of the scope of the requirement in the draft statement of work and draft request for proposal (RFP). The purpose of this RFI is also to receive any questions or concerns in regards to the draft RFP. This requirement is for a contractor to provide a comprehensive implementation plan of the AO’s investigation and supervision frameworks. The draft documents attached are subject to change in any final versions issued. The AO is seeking information from possible vendors to include: Names of interested parties. Please provide company information to include: Name of Company Address Point of Contact to include telephone number and email address DUNS number (An offeror must have a DUNS number and be registered in the System for Award Management by time of award.) Can this requirement, as described in the draft SOW of the base IDIQ and the three task orders, be accomplished as stated? The intended North American Industry Classification System (NACIS) code to solicit proposals is 541990 – “All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.” Is there a better suited NAICS code and the reason you feel it would be a better NACIS code? The intended Product and Service Code (PSC) is R499 – “Support – Professional: Other.” Is there a better suited PSC and the reason you feel it would be a better PSC? What is your experience/capability to successfully perform the work as described in the SOWs? Does your company possess an academic and applied knowledge around implementation science, in addition to scaling up social service-based innovations? Does your company possess knowledge of community corrections? What are the suggested labor categories, and their qualifications, that could be utilized for the Time and Materials and Labor Hour task orders? Please provide pricing estimates for each of the three task orders and the labor rates for the suggested labor categories. The AO's intent is to have a firm fixed priced Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) structure based on the deliverables in the SOWs of task orders 0001 and 0002. What other information would be necessary to have to prepare a proposal? Are there any existing contracting vehicles that this could be solicited under to include GSA’s Federal Supply Schedules or other Government-Wide Agency Contracts (GWACs)? If GSA, what would be the appropriate category/MAS to solicit? What are your questions and concerns in regards to the draft SOW and draft RFP? All responses need to be sent via email to John R. Baumert at john_baumert@ao.uscourts.gov. Please submit requested information by 2:00 PM (Eastern) on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. The following provision is incorporated in full text: Provision 2-1, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (JAN 2003). This RFI is only for the purpose of identifying potential sources as part of market research. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation.
