PLASMA PRO 100

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document provides instructions for responding to a sources sought for the "Oxford Plasma Pro 100" requirement. It is intended to gather information to determine acquisition strategy, including potential set-aside for small businesses.

Respondents are required to provide detailed information in their "capabilities package" covering:

• Company Information: Name, CAGE Code, Unique Entity ID (UEI), address, website URL, and point of contact details.
• Ownership Structure: Domestic/foreign ownership status and indication of foreign national employee use.
• Business Status: Socio-economic status (e.g., Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone), whether the respondent is the direct provider or will subcontract, and details of any intended subcontractors (including business size).
• Data and Warranty: Confirmation on releasing proprietary data and information on standard warranty for services/equipment.
• Commerciality: Recent sales history to commercial companies and comparison of terms if offered to both government and commercial sources.
• Small Business Set-Aside Considerations: If the acquisition is set aside for small businesses, provide details on compliance with RFO clause 52.219-14 (Limitations on Subcontracting), including teaming/subcontracting arrangements and anticipated subcontracting percentages.
• Subcontracting Utilization: If not set aside for small business, provide feedback on areas likely candidates for small business subcontracting.
• Capability Survey Questions: Address corporate capabilities, past performance (including contract numbers, dates, agency, and POC), requirement feasibility (regarding SOW), and market pricing.

Respondents must submit a "capabilities package" addressing the survey questions and other requested information. The Air Force is evaluating interest and capability, with a key factor for a Small Business Set-Aside being the ability of at least two small prime contractors to perform at least 50% of the contract cost with their own employees.

The acquisition strategy is undecided, but the Air Force is contemplating a small business set-aside. Small business respondents interested in prime contracting are specifically addressed.

This document references "Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO)" clauses, specifically 52.219-14. The NAICS code for this effort is 811310: All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services.
