PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPIS ISSUED ONLY TO CONDUCT A MARKET RESEARCH STUDY FOR AN ANTICIPATED REQUIREMENT. This is a sources sought announcement seeking only small business responses in order to determine available small business participation in this acquisition. This is not a request for quotation or proposal. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than market research. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. If a Request for Proposal is issued for this requirement it will not be issued under this number. This synopsis is issued for the sole purpose of conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10. The designated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541511 The Hawaii Air National Guard (HIANG) is conducting market research based on the following: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, to perform F-22 Currency and Training Collaboration Services, as defined in this PWS. Objectives: Develop a mobile software solution to track and report F-22 pilot currencies, training requirements, and scheduled events. Reduce the workload of scheduling, SARM, and HARM offices through process automation tailored around established processes. Optimize the utilization of F-22 resources (personnel, flight hours, and simulators) 1.2 Background: The 199FS is responsible for critical National Defense missions including Homeland Defense. Their modern mission is held back by labor intensive processes built on fragile Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Mission requirements far exceed the capabilities of these simple analysis tools. When these tools fail our airmen, pilots risk performing their mission without recognizing proficiency or currency shortfalls. Deliberate market research has revealed no solutions to capability gaps critical to safety of flight and completion of the mission. The Hawaii Air National Guard is perfectly positioned to scale their benchmark Operation to the rest of the CAF through the development of custom software tailored to meet their requirements. 1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be 1 Base Year of 12 months Responses submitted should include (1) name and address of firm, phone/fax numbers, email address and point of contact; (2) DUNS Number and/or CAGE Code, if available; (3) type of small business, e.g., woman-owned, service-disabled veteran owned, small disadvantaged, etc.; (4) firm's experience; and (5) firm's past performance with federal, state and local government agencies and/or commercial entities within the last three (3) years.
