It has been determined that this effort involves items that have a Critical Safety item and/ or Critical Item Application and therefore requires sources to be pre-qualified in order to propose. To be considered a qualified source, vendors shall have an active Source Approval Request (SAR). All responsible/qualified sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency This acquisition will be a source selection comprised of an Initial Source Selection that may yield contracts to two (2) offerors with a Final Downselect to one (1) contractor following successful completion of First Article Testing (FAT) and a final opportunity for contractors to update pricing. The Initial Source Selection will result in the award for MAAS FAT, Drawing updates, and travel using a C-type, definitive contract. In the Initial Source Selection, the Government will conduct a full and open competition to narrow the competitive field down to no more than two (2) contractors that will execute the MAAS FAT and proceed to the Final Downselect. The Final Downselect source selection will result in the award of the final contract, an indefinite delivery, requirements-type contract with a period of performance of four (4) years total. The period of performance will include four options of 12-months each. The RFP and resultant contract will contain FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. This acquisition will utilize the Tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2 and 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures referenced in DFARS 215.300 and the AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3 to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. For those offerors who are determined to have acceptable Small Business Participation, tradeoffs may be made between past performance and cost/price, with past performance considered significantly more important than cost/price. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the superior past and present performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. To arrive at a best value decision, the SSA will integrate the Source Selection Team’s (SST’s) evaluations of the factors described in this provision. **Due to Size, the Drawing package was not loaded onto SAM.gov. The Drawing Package will be release separatley via DoDsafe upon Offcial request sent via email to kelsey.wade.1@us.af.mil.
