This Sources Sought (SS) Notice is for informational and planning purposes only and should not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Government. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in the response. The Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received from this notice or to provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Responses to this notice should be complete and sufficiently detailed to allow the Government to determine the interested party’s capability to perform the work. Interested sources will be assessed for capability based solely on the information provided in response to this notice. To facilitate market research, Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) is seeking capability information from interested qualified sources under NAICS 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, with a small business size standard of $24.5M that can provide professional analytical and administrative support services in accordance with the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). Final documents are in progress for this requirement. The Government encourages responses from “all” interested, capable small business concerns. Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) Certified concerns, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) concerns, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs)) are all encouraged to respond to this notice. Small businesses are defined based on the size standard associated with the NAICS code. For more information, visit: https://www.sba.gov/document/support-table-size-standards, and check your size using the SBA Size Standards Tool: https://www.sba.gov/size-standards/index.html. The Contracting Officer must determine if there is a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns that are competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery in accordance with FAR 19.502-2(b) and FAR 19.203. When responding please also include any capabilities that will be performed through teaming arrangements (i.e., subcontracting and/or joint ventures). The contracting officer will use the responses received from this notice to determine if it is appropriate to either solicit as a small business set-aside or an unrestricted competition through SAM.gov or via an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) government wide contract vehicle (i.e., GSA OASIS, GSA HCaTS). If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, any competitive procurement that may result will be conducted as a small business set-aside. The Government DOES NOT intend to award a contract based on the responses to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government will not consider responses to this notice as adequate responses to a solicitation/request for proposals. At this time, no solicitation exists, however a solicitation may be synopsized on either PIEE Solicitation Module or SAM.gov at a later date. Interested firms may also ask the Contracting Officer for a copy of the solicitation in accordance with FAR 19.202-4(c). Not responding to this Sources Sought notice does not preclude participation in any future Request for Proposal if one is issued, however your firm may not be considered as part of the government’s market research efforts. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on SAM.gov unless an exclusion applies. It is the responsibility of the potential responders to monitor SAM.gov for additional information pertaining to this subject. For the situational awareness of any interested source, a prospective solicitation related to this requirement may require electronic submission of offers through the Department of Defense (DoD) Solicitation Module in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE). PIEE is the same platform that houses the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system used for invoicing after award. In order to submit proposal packages through the PIEE Solicitation Portal, Offerors must be registered as a Proposal Manager in the DoD PIEE Suite located at https://piee.eb.mil/. This information is provided purely for situational awareness should an interested party choose to register in preparation for any future solicitations. PIEE Solicitation Module registration is not required for this SS notice and will not be used for SS notice response submission.
