Update 9: TO: All EC2 Interested Vendors FROM: AMIC/Det 2 (FA7037) and AMIC/Det 2/OL-C (FA8773) In approximately two weeks, this posting will be deactivated and replaced in its entirety by the updated posting at: Notice ID Number: FA8773-22-R-8005, https://sam.gov/opp/b45f8ecdf84f4b939b0013abc4ac5046/view Points of Contact listed on the updated posting, also provided here for your convenience: Primary POC: Tracie Holman Tracie.holman@us.af.mil 405-734-9731 Secondary POC: Sara Ryan Sara.ryan.2@us.af.mil 405-734-9433 Update 8:This update provides updated information, provides Draft Section L&M, and “activates” the IVL in sam.gov. Updated information: 1. The EC2 Program will have two pools: SB and an Unrestricted Pool 2. Projected Ordering Period: 10 Year. 3. Projected RFP Release Date: 2QFY22 4. Projected Award Date: 1QFY23 5. Projected number of awards in each pool: TBD. However, the SB pool is projected to have a higher number of awards. 6. The estimated value for the EC2 Program, both pools, is >$5B-<$6B over 10 years. Draft Section L&M is provided for review and comment. This version is primarily focused on the SB Pool, however procedurally both pools will be evaluated similarly. You can expect the Unrestricted Pool to have a requirement for a Sub-contracting Plan (for OTSB) and the evaluation criteria to be more stringent than the SB pool. Request your input on the draft L&M NLT 16 Dec 2021. Another opportunity to review the Draft Solicitation, to include section L&M will be provided at a later date.

We apologize for the delay as we were awaiting the conclusion of the Early Strategy and Issues Session (ESIS). The answers incorporate details that were not available during Industry Day. All QAs previously posted are superseded by the following attachment. ATCH 3 – EC2 Industry Day QAs Post ESIS (26 Aug 2021) There have also been several questions regarding Small Business Joint Ventures. Please refer to “13 CFR § 121.103” at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?rgn=div5;node=13%3A1.0.1.1.17 A second RFI will be posted next week and will allow interested parties to submit additional questions. UPDATE 4: Provided are the latest updates regarding the EC2 Program: - The place of performance will also include Overseas Locations. The draft PWS will remain significantly the same as previously posted. - After re-analyzing the spend data, the primary NAICS code will most likely be revised to NAICS 541330, Engineering Services (military exception), instead of NAICS 541512, Computer Systems Design Services. Feedback of this change will be requested from all interested parties in the near future. - Decentralized ordering to other AF organizations is being contemplated, typically referred to as Decentralize Contracting Office (DCO). This will enable other than AMIC units to issue task orders from the EC2 vehicle. We will be gathering information/conducting additional Market Research on this issue and will advise industry once a final decision is made. If DCO capabilities are expanded, the magnitude of the IDIQ will grow accordingly. - The answers to the questions previously posted will be updated based on recent information available and will be re-posted before 30 Aug 2021. Thereafter, a second round of questions will be requested from all interested parties. Tentative Revised Schedule -The draft schedule is subject to revision and based on the determination of whether DCO capabilities will be employed.

Note: The information disclosed during Industry Day, and related documents, were pre-decisional and are subject to change. Industry Day was held early in the market research phase and we would like to emphasize that additional forums will be hosted.
