Request for Information (RFI) for F-15E Nuclear Control Panel INSTRUCTIONS: The document(s) below contain a description of the F-15E Nuclear Control Panel requirement and a Contractor Capability Survey. The Survey allows Contractors to provide their company’s capability. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company’s capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. ATTENTION: SMALL BUSINESS RESPONDENTS who are interested in participation for this effort: No set-aside decision has been made; however, the Government will determine the final strategy after thorough analysis of the small business responses and other market research available, considering the demonstrated interest and capability. Please ensure that you provide a thorough response to each question. If your company does not currently possess the full capability required to fulfill the entire requirement, what teaming/partnership/joint venture/subcontracting arrangement do you have in place to fulfill the government needs? Providing evidence of this arrangement, (e.g. emails, letters, etc.) that demonstrates a united response to this SSS is highly encouraged but not required. The evidence should state the type of arrangement and the role each member will fulfill. If you are only interested in being a subcontractor to the future awardee, state the portion of the work that your organization has capability of fulfilling. Identify any areas of work that your organization believes should be broken out exclusively for Small Business. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. Questions relative to this market survey should be addressed to Vinson Howell (vinson.howell@us.af.mil), Daniel DiZoglio (daniel.dizoglio@us.af.mil).
