This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement is being issued as a request for quotation (RFQ) and constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2019-01. This combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued as a cascading small business set-aside. If no acceptable Small Business quotes are received, then other than Small Business responses will be considered. North American Industrial Classification Standard 713940 applies to this solicitation; business size standard is $7.5m. The Minnesota Air National Guard has a requirement for health services to support approximately 40 individuals. See Performance Work Statement (PWS). Background: The FY19 Air Force Budget includes appropriations for a program called Optimizing the Human Weapon System (OHWS). This program is a pre-habilitative program designed to address neck and spine issues in the fighter aircrew community. The program is designed to give fighter pilots the tools and access to professional strength and conditioning coaches, physical therapists and athletic trainers, to prevent future injury and increase quality of life. This program is being designed to serve a diverse group of approximately 40 individuals who work both full and part time for the 148FW. Hours of availability may vary widely, as members sometimes work nights and weekends or are remotely located (e.g. they live in the Minneapolis area). Program intent: The intent of this program is to best facilitate a pre-habilitative program for all eligible members of the 148FW maintaining flexibility for individual schedules while working within the budget specifications plus maintaining an opportunity for future program growth. Vendors/Contractors are encouraged to use innovation, incorporate best commercial practices, propose their own visions, offer their own payment and line item structure, and not feel constrained by any non-price limitation in this solicitation. The overall intent of this program is of primary importance: building a workable plan to provide pre-habilitative services to a mixture of full time and part time members. Preparing and Submitting your Quote: Vendors are encouraged to provide a detailed plan which outlines the vendor's capabilities that are being offered. Include sample schedules and sample agendas for appointments. Include information about credentials, facilities, hours of availability, flexibility in scheduling, training equipment availability, and any other feature which would give a competitive edge.

Questions asked within 1 week of solicitation close will be answered at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Please make quotes good for 30 days, if possible. Emailed quotes are preferred. Late quotes may be rejected at the Contracting Officer's discretion. Evaluation: Pricing: This program has a fixed budget of $80,000 for the initial year. Each vendor will craft the best program that they can facilitate at the budgeted price. They will also quote the same program price to be included as an option year. Because this program is anticipated to expand, the vendor will also provide a quote that details the program that they can facilitate at double the base year budget. The Government plans to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offer conforming to the solicitation which will be most advantageous to the Government. Quotes will be evaluated using price, technical, and past performance. Technical evaluation will consist of rating quotes by how well they conform to the intent of this solicitation. Vendors with greater flexibility, capability, and ease of use will be rated higher. Commercial customer reviews will be consulted to verify the quality of what is being quoted. For the base program year, the focus is physical training which should be included in the base year quote. If any vendor wishes to quote a plan in which each individual is assigned one of the four areas of concern upon initial evaluation, the 148FW is also open to this system as well. All solicitation specifications are not absolute and the 148FW will consider innovative solutions to this requirement. Quotes may be comparatively evaluated in compliance with FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3). It is anticipated that the government will open discussions to refine quotes with the highest rated vendors. If minor modifications need to be made to the highest rated quote, the government does not plan on re-soliciting. Vendors are encouraged to submit multiple quotes or options for program implementation. Each quote or option will be evaluated as a separate quote (e.g. base year covers physical training / strength training, and option year can be base + athletic training OR base + massage therapy). GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO ISSUE ONE (1) CONTRACT BUT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER PARTIAL OR MULTIPLE AWARDS. If not already registered in SAM, go to WWW.SAM.GOV to register prior to submitting quote. Your company much have an active status in SAM.gov within 2 weeks of notification of potential award. Vendors should begin the SAM.gov registration process immediately.
