NOTICE: The following information is provided for situational awareness and is not required to respond to this Sources Sought.

All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.beta.SAM.gov) prior to award of a contract. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.beta.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) for processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.beta.SAM.gov. Refer to www.beta.SAM.gov for information formerly found in CCR, EPLS, ORCA and FedReg.

Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record.  The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration. 

Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter.  However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM.

Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier (known as DUNS). The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards. Remember, there is no cost to use SAM.

To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).

1. Introduction

This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and includes questions that the United States Government (USG) may use to understand current Industry capabilities to deliver:

1) A SM Group 3 sUAS capable of providing C2/DR services to a sUAS swarm in a contested environment.
2) A SM Group 3 sUAS to provide EW capabilities in a contested environment.
This RFI seeks responses specifically for:
1) SM Group 3 sUAS currently integrated with a C2/DR or EW payload
2) SM Group 3 sUAS that are ready to integrate a C2/DR or EW payload and deliver a complete SM Group 3 C2/DR or EW solution within 24-36 months of this RFI
3) C2/DR and EW payloads - Low Size, Weight, and Power and Cost (SWAP-C) technologies that can be integrated as a payload into the Group 3 SM sUAS to enable C2/DR capabilities for a Group 2 swarm or provide EW capabilities in a contested environment.

The fielding of these capabilities is expected to begin within 24 – 36 months of this RFI.
This is NOT a request for quotations or proposals or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quote (RFQ) in the future and does not commit the USG to contract for the supplies/services contained herein. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201 (e), USG will not accept responses to this notice as offers to form a binding contract. USG will not reimburse costs incurred by Respondents in response to this RFI or for participating in information exchange regarding details of the RFI. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on USG. Any information submitted in response to this RFI is voluntary. Respondents must clearly mark any proprietary information and trade secrets on all submitted materials. USG will not share vendor proprietary information with the public. USG hereby notifies Respondents that (a) USG may disclose submitted information to support Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contractors supporting this program, (b) submission of information in response to this RFI constitutes consent to such handling and disclosure of submitted information to those parties, and (c) USG will handle such proprietary information in a manner consistent with applicable federal law. Please be advised that all submissions become USG property, and USG will not return submissions to Respondents. USG advises Respondents that USG is under no obligation to provide feedback to Respondents with respect to any information submitted.
USG may meet with Industry partners in a 1:1 setting during market research. USG may decide to hold 1:1 sessions with Industry partners based on responses to this RFI. Additional opportunities for Industry partners to request 1:1 sessions may be shared at a later date.

The U.S. Air Force Offensive sUAS SPO (hereinafter referred to as “the SPO”) may share any information submitted in response to this RFI with current and future contractor support personnel involved with this program. All USG and contractor personnel reviewing submitted responses will have signed non-disclosure agreements and understand their responsibility for proper use and protection from unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information as described in 41 U.S. Code (USC) 423.

2. Synopsis

The SPO is performing market research to determine Industry’s ability to provide, within the next 24 – 36 months, C2/DR and EW capabilities from a SM Group 3 sUAS. Industry responses will inform the SPO on the market availability and diversity of Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) compliant, high Technological Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) solutions to fulfill AFSOC requirements.

Responses may inform the potential development of an initial acquisition approach, corresponding RFP, statements of work, and possible future contract actions; therefore, feedback from industry is critical to formulating the best possible approach.
To ensure that USG casts the widest possible net—for both familiar as well as new technologies—the SPO’s strategy development process will include significant outreach and engagement with industry. The SPO encourages non-traditional performers and innovators with relevant capabilities and technology to participate in this process. USG is interested in all solution sets, particularly those from entities that may offer novel or unconventional approaches that may be capable of meeting the operational requirements outlined in each RFI. USG may ask for additional clarification on RFI responses. USG will provide detailed instructions in correspondence outlining any follow-up questions. USG will use the data gathered through this RFI process to inform USG acquisition strategies for initial and future capabilities and other efforts requiring Offensive sUAS, which may lead to contract awards.

This RFI informs the initial SM Group 3 C2/DR and EW capabilities that USG will field in 24 – 36 months. There is an expectation to field additional platforms beyond the initial effort. Should USG field initial operational systems, conceivable upgrade cycles could follow regularly. USG may replace any component or integrator during such cycles to maximize operational capabilities with best-in-class technologies.

The SPO will use this RFI to understand the readiness of existing platforms and better equip USG to identify potential candidate technologies for initial SM Group 3 C2/DR and EW acquisition. Vendors who do not participate in the initial fielding may still have opportunities for future involvement.

3. Objective

This RFI is for market research purposes only and aims to obtain information from vendors that are interested and capable of delivering a signature managed Group 3 sUAS to carry an integrated C2/DR or EW payload (i.e. platforms with currently integrated payload solutions or platforms that are readily able to integrate the desired payload) and/or enabling technological solutions for C2/DR and EW (including but not limited to: radios, datalinks, processors, computing on the edge, alternate navigation, etc.) that can be integrated onto a Group 3 sUAS within 36 months. Certain USG desired attributes and performance parameters for the SM Group 3 platforms are considered Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). These attributes and parameters are available to interested vendors via the controlled access feature within SAM.gov. The CUI information is not necessary to complete Attachment A. However, USG recommends that vendors not submit a response to this RFI until assessing the feasibility and potential applicability of their solution based on USG’s desired attributes and parameters. USG is specifically seeking technology synopses for high TRL/MRL solutions that are air-deployable and meet both the payload capacity and range provided in the CUI document. The CUI document attached to this RFI is restricted and can only be downloaded by authorized parties. Interested vendors are responsible for requesting access and following all required procedures to obtain access.

Instructions from the Federal Service Desk to request access to restricted documents are found in article KB0017590, "How do I request access to a restricted attachment on a Contract Opportunity..." at: https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=gsafsd_kb_articles&sys_id=e56fc56c87d5cad05babba69cebb3519

The Federal Service Desk may also be reached at (866) 606-8220 Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET.
Vendor responses to this RFI will provide a view of readily available and developing solutions expected to reach maturity in time to fulfill the targeted initial fielding date (within 36 months). USG will analyze responses to understand the current market landscape and help determine the prioritization efforts and current technology gaps requiring further industry investment. Any solutions that vendors design and put forward in response to this RFI must be in accordance with low SWAP-C and MOSA principles for future integration.

USG encourages vendors use Attachment B to provide a synopsis of the solution, an understanding of its technical specifications and benefits, preliminary assessments of how the solution meets or contributes to the capabilities sought, and a summary of costs related to the solution (Please reference Attachment B for additional detail/instructions).

Synopsis:

The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344 publishes this notice of intent to award a Sole Source contract for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of an Optical Intensifier for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). It was determined that Axiom Optics Inc is a large business that is capable of meeting the Government’s specifications as they are stated in the attached Statement of Work (SoW). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1), resulting in a Firm- Fixed -Price contract.

The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516 -Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, (PSC) 6760 -Photographic Equipment and Accessories. The proposed source is Axiom Optics Inc, 444 Somerville Ave Ste 2 Somerville, Massachusetts 02143-3270. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a Sole Source basis, which shall be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack the of competition is as follows: Axiom Optics Inc, is the only known business capable of meeting the Government’s requirement, which is the need for a HiCatt 25 S20B 40ns 1000kHZ product with an intensifier gate control and 45mm UV lens CERCO F/1.8 characteristic. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to Axiom Optics Inc. Please see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for complete details.

Berlin Lake Sewer Treatment Plant Replacement

Berlin Lake, Berlin Center, Ohio

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Pittsburgh District, is carrying out a Project to replace the existing Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) at the location referenced above.  Work is to be performed entirely on Government property, and the WWTP services USACE campgrounds and two field offices.  The campground is open annually from mid-May to mid-September, while the two USACE field offices are open year-round.  The Government currently operates the existing 30,000 gallon per day (gpd) WWTF year-round and will need continuous access and utility services during the Project.  The new WWTF is to be constructed adjacent to the existing WWTF.  Final switch over to the new WWTF and operation of the new WWTP in compliance with approved permits is required prior to demolition of the existing WWTF.

Major features and coordination efforts of the Project generally include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Installing a new, prefabricated pump station and force main line.
2. Installing a new, prefabricated WWTF with appurtenances.  The WWTF (rated at 30,000 gpd) will utilize the extended aeration process and may have, among other features, a trash trap, flow equalization/aeration/clarifier/sludge holding/dosing tanks, fixed media and surface sand filtration, and UV disinfection.
3. Renovating the existing WWTF control/laboratory building.
4. Limited testing has been conducted and it is assumed that additional lead and asbestos testing/remediation may be required.
5. Upgrading the existing power supply per local utility requirements and installation of a dedicated automatic emergency power generator.
6. Installing gravel driveway for access and parking, lighting, and security fencing/gates.
7. Reconfiguring portions of the existing sanitary sewer piping near the headworks and outfall manhole of the existing WWTF to accommodate the new hydraulic profile.
8. Site grading, including best management practices (BMPs) for erosion and sediment control, along with final restoration and landscaping with Ohio native plant species.
9. An Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OPEA) Permit-to-Install (PTI) permit has been secured by the Government for the new WWTF and the contractor will have to comply with any OEPA requirements.
10. Seamless switchover from the existing WWTF to the new WWTF.
11. Demolition and proper disposal of the existing WWTF and appurtenances.
12. OEPA-licensed-operator startup and operation of the new WWTF for a limited duration, including training of the Government or other operators.

The submittal/fabrication process is planned to start Spring of 2025, with physical construction and restoration estimated to take place from October 2025 through October 2026.  Closeout is expected to be complete before the end of 2026.  Campground usage and operations throughout the year are assumed to remain unchanged.

Disposal of construction waste material will be disposed of at commercially permitted facilities licensed to accept waste or recyclable materials as applicable.

The work shall be completed within 720 Calendar Days after written Notice to Proceed.

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344 publishes this notice of intent to award a sole source contract for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of a HurcoVMX60SRTi 5 axis vertical milling machine for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13-106-1(b)(1), “Contracting officers may solicit from only one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available”, resulting in a firm fixed price contract. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available: Reynolds Machinery Inc.

This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) 333514 - Special Die and Tool, Die Set, Jig, and Fixture Manufacturing. Business size standard is 500 employees. 

The proposed source is Reynolds Machinery Inc., 760 Liberty Lane, Dayton, OH 45449 USA.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The proposed vendor, Reynolds Machinery Inc., is the only known source able to satisfy the Government's requirements as they are the only exclusive provider of Hurco CNC Machine Tools in the state of Ohio. Both AFIT and contracting personnel have utilized subject matter experts, internet to research additional sources, and vendor outreach, but were unable to find other resources that were able to meet this requirement.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD.  Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for contracts issued after 29 May 2012.  You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website:  www.SAM.gov.
