The Government seeks industry comments in response to the specific questions listed below and the Draft Statement of Work (SOW) attached. An early exchange of information improves the understanding of Government requirements and industry capabilities, thereby allowing potential Offerors to judge whether or how they can satisfy the Government's requirements, and enhances the Government's ability to obtain quality supplies and services, at reasonable prices, and increase efficiency in proposal preparation, proposal evaluation, negotiation, and contract award. The responses/feedback received in response to this notice will be used to identify and resolve concerns regarding the acquisition strategy, including proposed contract type, terms and conditions, and acquisition planning schedules; the feasibility of the requirement, including performance requirements, statements of work, and contract deliverables/requirements; the suitability of the proposal instructions and evaluation criteria, including the approach for assessing past performance information; the availability of referenced documents (if applicable); and any other industry concerns or questions. Description of Services: The Government has a requirement for Architect-Engineering services in support of the United States Air Force, Facility Sustainment Restoration and Modernization (FSRM) Program Engineering Support Services. The primary intent of the A&E Services is to bridge the PACAF FSRM program gap created by theater complexity, lack of experienced work force continuity, and specialized engineering personnel shortfalls. The scope of this SOW is a multi-year (across program fiscal years) “cradle-to-grave” examination of the MAJCOM’s FSRM Program…ranging from infrastructure requirements generation and/or Integrated Priority List (IPL) process/strategies to project planning, programming (with associated and/or necessary documentation), targeted design, cost estimates, and project execution rates. The term FSRM program refers to both the centralized and decentralized O&M funding streams originated from HQ AFIMSC. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-1020 and other associated directives/regulations are the driving guidance documents behind this A&E Contract effort. The Air Force Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (AFCAMP) is the process used for FSRM requirements prioritization & budgeting to govern allocation of centralized funds. The term Integrated Tasking Order (ITO) represents the collective combination of the following tasking orders (included for this SOW): Planning Tasking Order (PTO) and Construction Tasking Order (CTO). The professional support services approach will be achieved utilizing a multi-faceted strategy. In general, the overall methodology will focus on five (5) major areas within the FSRM program for the command. Please see attachment 1 – Draft Statement of Work, for further details. Anticipated Contract: The anticipated contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price contract. Period of Performance: 30 months after date of award.
