Introduction: The Utah Army National Guard is issuing a combined solicitation and synopsis for an Elastic Stack Network Security Monitoring Cyber Operator Functions course. This training is in support of the Utah Army National Guard Cyber Shield exercise and will be conducted 12 – 15 July 2021 at Camp Williams, UT 84065. This requirement is solicited as full and open competition and must completely meet the attached Statement of Work (SOW). Please see the attached SOW for details If your firm is interested in this requirement, your company must be registered on www.sam.gov as a qualified business under the NAICS code 611430 “Professional & Management Development Training” (of very similar NAICS code) which has a Small Business Sized Standard of $12 million (https:// www.sba.gov/sites/defalut/files/files/Size_Standards_Table.pdf). An organization that is not registered on www.sam.gov under the applicable NAICS code (or very similar NAICS code) should not submit a response to this notice. Contract Type and Evaluation Criteria: The current intent is to award a firm-fixed price (FFP) commercial contract for the requisite training to be conducted during 12-15 July 2021. The award will be based on an all or none basis using best value evaluation criteria. Price and technical acceptability will be the primary evaluation factors; however, in evaluating technical acceptability, a firm that demonstrates the best match of capability to the SOW and who also demonstrates experience in providing the training will be evaluated more favorably than simply meeting technical requirements with the lowest price. Vendors submitting proposals must clearly articulate how they will meet the training requirements and not simply provide a positive affirmation that they will comply with the SOW. Proposals that do not clearly articulate how they will meet the training requirements of the attached SOW will be considered non-responsive. Submissions from small businesses are encouraged and will be evaluated more favorably against a large business providing a comparable proposal. The Utah Army National Guard intends to make an award without discussions, and the government reserves the right to award to other than lowest price. SAM Registration: All firms or individuals responding must meet all standards required to conduct business with the government, including registration with SAM and WAWD/iRAPT, and be in good standing. All qualified responses will be considered by the government. Each proposal must include vendor’s CAGE code, DUNS number, federal tax number, and must include point of contract information. Prospective vendors may obtain information on registration at www.sam.gov. Failure to provide SAM registration may result in your company not being considered. IAW FAR 52.204-7 and DFARS 252.204-7004 Alt A, prospective vendors must be registered in the SAM database prior to any award. SAM registration shall be a determining factor for award.
