THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS HAS BEEN UPDATED TO EXTEND THE DATE TO REQUEST INCLUSION FOR THE INDUSTRY DAY (MONDAY, 9 DECEMBER 2024) TO THURSDAY, 5 DECEMBER 2024, AT 12:00PM EST).

This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only. There is no solicitation available at this time. This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government's acquisition approach. Only responses from US companies will be accepted. Any information provided by the Government at this time is preliminary and may be updated or changed prior to a formal release of a Request for Proposal. The Government expects to conduct an industry day subsequent to receiving submittals in response to this notice. Industry day details are included herein.

The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this sources sought synopsis (or industry day), nor will it reimburse any contractor/prospective contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice (or industry day). The Government has not yet determined the acquisition strategy for this requirement, including whether a small business set-aside strategy is applicable.

The Clause Logic Service (CLS) is a software capability that, given a set of inputs, provides extensible markup language (XML) data outputs for Terms and Conditions (Ts&Cs) inclusion in solicitations, awards, and modifications for the Department of Defense and some other Federal agencies. Additional publicly available information about the current CLS capability is published at https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/site-pages/ebusiness-cls.

The Government is seeking to modernize or replace its current Clause Logic Service (CLS) capability using notional concepts in slides attached to this notice. Concepts are shared to encourage dialog with industry, and they are not yet considered final plans or approaches. This market research effort is intended to inform the Government’s future strategy, as a make or buy decision has not yet been made. No acquisition strategy has been determined at this point. The Government is surveying the market for commercially available solutions, nondevelopmental solutions, solutions that may serve as a starting point for further development, business process model platforms that may be leveraged to quickly develop capabilities, and more. The Government is not seeking a complete contract writing system/solution as part of this effort, but rather the Government ultimately intends to make or buy a modular capability that complements contract writing systems. The ultimate solution will need to support multiple configurations for different environments (e.g., stand-alone cloud hosted web application, “headless” service using application programming interfaces to communicate with cloud-hosted contract writing systems, and classified contracting).

Respondents must possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience in developing and/or providing the same or similar solutions, meeting all relevant cybersecurity, accessibility, and audit requirements for the Department of Defense.

Respondents shall submit a Capabilities Package in response to this sources sought synopsis that demonstrates detailed knowledge and experience in the following areas:

1. DoD procurement processes, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) in various contracting methods (e.g., commercial/non-commercial contracts, competitive/sole source solicitations, simplified/complex contracts) for various contracting scenarios (e.g., installation, construction, research and development, expeditionary/contingency, classified, major systems, logistics).
2. Business system design and sustainment within the DoD, including cybersecurity requirements.
3. DoD data standard structures, including the Procurement Data Standard (PDS).
4. Integration with cloud hosted contract writing system platforms such as the Department of the Air Force’s CON-IT, the Department of the Army’s Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), the Department of the Navy’s Electronic Procurement System (ePS), and the Fourth Estate’s Electronic Contract Writing Module (ECWM).
5. Section 508 requirements, W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and Web Accessibility Initiative-Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA), and modern user interface/user experience design practices for web applications such as those listed at https://digital.gov/resources/checklist-of-requirements-for-federal-digital-services/.
6. Any current or previous clause logic capability (or similar) matching one or more sources of functional data inputs (interview question responses, data from the procurement data standard, etc.) with a rules-based logic engine to accurately provide predictable outputs.
7. Integration with Acquisition.gov or other similar data source for XML and/or XHTML representations of terms and conditions.
8. Use of models (e.g., statistical, machine learning, artificial intelligence) to offer inferences on missing or unknown input data elements, with the goal of improving data accuracy while decreasing the time required by users to provide data entry.

Capability packages shall also address the following items:

1. Company name, address, point of contact, telephone number, e-mail address, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).
2. Business size (if 8(a) provide proof of certification, etc.) under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541519. Additionally, firms responding to this announcement as the "prime contractor" should indicate whether they are:  ‘other than small business’ or ‘small business’ in relation to NAICS code 541519. Firms responding to this announcement as the "prime contractor" should also indicate whether, in relation to NAICS code 541519, they are considered a small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, woman-owned small business, or a Small Business Administration certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) program participant as a WOSB concern or Economically Disadvantaged WOSB (EDWOSB) concern, ‘8(a) program participant’, ‘service-disabled veteran-owned small business’, or ‘historically underutilized business zone small business’.
3. Under which NAICS code does your company usually provide supplies identified above? Do you consider a NAICS code other than 541519 to be more appropriate as a classification for the supplies identified above? Please include the rationale for your answer.
4. Overarching description of technical maturity and scalability/configurability of existing solution(s), if applicable. Approach if partial or full development is required.
5. Qualifications and competencies of skilled personnel that may be needed, as required. Expertise and ability to identify specialized skill sets, conduct training to meet these skill sets.
6. Potential business arrangements/models (cost sharing development, product already ready but for sale with licenses, etc.).
7. Intellectual property licensing arrangements for existing capabilities.

The capabilities package should be brief and concise, yet clearly address requested information. Requests for solicitation will receive no response. The Government shall not reimburse the cost of preparing responses to this request for information.

Industry Day:

An in-person industry day is planned for Monday, 9 December 2024 in the National Capital Region. A virtual option is not planned at this time. The Government will provide a general session to discuss its intent and overarching objectives. Private break-out sessions will be available to meet with individual companies for further discussion and demonstrations, if applicable. Only respondents to this notice will be invited to attend, and respondents to this notice should indicate in their response to this notice that they wish to (1) attend industry day and (2) have a private session. Length of private sessions will be determined once the Government has a count of how many private sessions are requested. The Government will contact those expressing interest in having a private session to inform allotted time by 4:00 p.m., EST, Friday, 6 December 2024. The Government shall not reimburse the cost of attending the planned industry day, including preparation, travel or any other costs.

b) Relative Importance and Trade-Offs. The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the offerors' prices, past performance, and the other evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation. The determination of best value also considers the relative importance of the evaluation factors. All evaluation factors, when combined, are:
[ ] significantly more important than cost
or price. As other evaluation factors
become more equal, the evaluated cost or
price becomes more important.
[ X] approximately equal to cost or price; or
[ ] significantly less important than cost
or price. As the evaluated cost/price
becomes more equal, relative importance
of all other evaluation factors becomes
more significant.
(e) PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS. The Government will use the past performance evaluation factors marked below in addition to cost or price and other evaluation factors specified in the solicitation. Unless indicated otherwise, past performance is significantly more important than other non-price factors. Within the past performance subfactors, SPRS assessments (as applicable) will be weighed most heavily. Historical quality history and delivery schedule compliance (not
captured in SPRS) will be weighed more heavily than the remaining past performance subfactors. All other non-price evaluation factors specified in this solicitation weigh equally, unless otherwise indicated.

SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS (Not a Notice of Solicitation)

The United States Army National Guard Operational Contracting Branch, NGB-AQ, is seeking information on potential sources and industry feedback on the attached Draft Performance Work Statements for J1 Combined Support Services.  This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only, to identify potential sources capable of providing services for multiple locations within the United States in accordance with Department of Defense standards and applicable local, state, and Federal laws.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The Draft Performance Work Statement has all of the information listed in regards to the technical requirements for this effort.  As a reminder, these are drafts and estimates, which are subject to be changed.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541611.

The SBA Size Standard is $24,500,000. 

The Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is R499.

The Government anticipates awarding a competitive 8(a) acquisition for these services.  The Government invites current 8(a) companies to provide their capability statements in support of this acquisition.  The determination will be made after a review of market research responses.  All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DOD contract and with their local SBA office.  Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14.  The Army National Guard anticipates an acquisition for a base and four option years plus the 52.217-8 option of 6 months. 

Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary.  This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice.  Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any Government assessments. The Government's assessment of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business program.

1. The information below provides a "Contractor Capability Survey" to allow you to document your company's capabilities in meeting these requirements.

2. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, please complete and return the Contractor Capability Survey below.  Response format and due date information is specified at the bottom portion of this notice.  Failure to provide a complete response may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities.  If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.)

3. This sources sought inquiry is for all potential 8(a) vendors.

THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS HAS BEEN UPDATED AGAIN TO ATTACH THE DOD SLIDES PRESENTED AT THE INDUSTRY DAY HELD 9 DECEMBER 2024, AS WELL AS THE LIST OF VENDORS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST / ATTENDED THE INDUSTRY DAY.

THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS HAS BEEN UPDATED TO EXTEND THE DATE TO REQUEST INCLUSION FOR THE INDUSTRY DAY (MONDAY, 9 DECEMBER 2024) TO THURSDAY, 5 DECEMBER 2024, AT 12:00PM EST).

This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only. There is no solicitation available at this time. This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government's acquisition approach. Only responses from US companies will be accepted. Any information provided by the Government at this time is preliminary and may be updated or changed prior to a formal release of a Request for Proposal. The Government expects to conduct an industry day subsequent to receiving submittals in response to this notice. Industry day details are included herein.

The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this sources sought synopsis (or industry day), nor will it reimburse any contractor/prospective contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice (or industry day). The Government has not yet determined the acquisition strategy for this requirement, including whether a small business set-aside strategy is applicable.

The Clause Logic Service (CLS) is a software capability that, given a set of inputs, provides extensible markup language (XML) data outputs for Terms and Conditions (Ts&Cs) inclusion in solicitations, awards, and modifications for the Department of Defense and some other Federal agencies. Additional publicly available information about the current CLS capability is published at https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/site-pages/ebusiness-cls.

The Government is seeking to modernize or replace its current Clause Logic Service (CLS) capability using notional concepts in slides attached to this notice. Concepts are shared to encourage dialog with industry, and they are not yet considered final plans or approaches. This market research effort is intended to inform the Government’s future strategy, as a make or buy decision has not yet been made. No acquisition strategy has been determined at this point. The Government is surveying the market for commercially available solutions, nondevelopmental solutions, solutions that may serve as a starting point for further development, business process model platforms that may be leveraged to quickly develop capabilities, and more. The Government is not seeking a complete contract writing system/solution as part of this effort, but rather the Government ultimately intends to make or buy a modular capability that complements contract writing systems. The ultimate solution will need to support multiple configurations for different environments (e.g., stand-alone cloud hosted web application, “headless” service using application programming interfaces to communicate with cloud-hosted contract writing systems, and classified contracting).

Respondents must possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience in developing and/or providing the same or similar solutions, meeting all relevant cybersecurity, accessibility, and audit requirements for the Department of Defense.

Respondents shall submit a Capabilities Package in response to this sources sought synopsis that demonstrates detailed knowledge and experience in the following areas:

1. DoD procurement processes, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) in various contracting methods (e.g., commercial/non-commercial contracts, competitive/sole source solicitations, simplified/complex contracts) for various contracting scenarios (e.g., installation, construction, research and development, expeditionary/contingency, classified, major systems, logistics).
2. Business system design and sustainment within the DoD, including cybersecurity requirements.
3. DoD data standard structures, including the Procurement Data Standard (PDS).
4. Integration with cloud hosted contract writing system platforms such as the Department of the Air Force’s CON-IT, the Department of the Army’s Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), the Department of the Navy’s Electronic Procurement System (ePS), and the Fourth Estate’s Electronic Contract Writing Module (ECWM).
5. Section 508 requirements, W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and Web Accessibility Initiative-Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA), and modern user interface/user experience design practices for web applications such as those listed at https://digital.gov/resources/checklist-of-requirements-for-federal-digital-services/.
6. Any current or previous clause logic capability (or similar) matching one or more sources of functional data inputs (interview question responses, data from the procurement data standard, etc.) with a rules-based logic engine to accurately provide predictable outputs.
7. Integration with Acquisition.gov or other similar data source for XML and/or XHTML representations of terms and conditions.
8. Use of models (e.g., statistical, machine learning, artificial intelligence) to offer inferences on missing or unknown input data elements, with the goal of improving data accuracy while decreasing the time required by users to provide data entry.

Capability packages shall also address the following items:

1. Company name, address, point of contact, telephone number, e-mail address, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).
2. Business size (if 8(a) provide proof of certification, etc.) under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541519.

3. Under which NAICS code does your company usually provide supplies identified above? Do you consider a NAICS code other than 541519 to be more appropriate as a classification for the supplies identified above? Please include the rationale for your answer.
4. Overarching description of technical maturity and scalability/configurability of existing solution(s), if applicable. Approach if partial or full development is required.
5. Qualifications and competencies of skilled personnel that may be needed, as required. Expertise and ability to identify specialized skill sets, conduct training to meet these skill sets.
6. Potential business arrangements/models (cost sharing development, product already ready but for sale with licenses, etc.).
7. Intellectual property licensing arrangements for existing capabilities.
