Supplier Information Request (SIR): Central Service Area Contract Armed Security Officer Services

Forms / Attachments / Pricing Sheets

This document is an Excel workbook containing pricing information for various contract line items (CLINs) across different FAA facilities and contract periods. It serves as a pricing workbook for bidders to detail their proposed costs.

• Contract Structure: The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Labor Hours (LH) line items, spanning one Base Year and four Option Years.
• CLIN Structure: CLINs are defined by Year of Contract, FAA Facility, and Service Type (e.g., Basic Services, Temporary Additional Services, Emergency Security Services).
• Service Types: Includes Basic Services (FFP per month), Temporary Additional Services (TAS), Emergency Security Services (ESS), Other Services (Time not Worked), Training, Random Screening, and Roving Patrol, primarily priced on a Labor Hours basis.
• Pricing Details: The workbook outlines CLINs for various FAA facilities (e.g., C90 TRACON, D10 TRACON, DFW ATCT, DTW ATCT, I90 TRACON, IAH ATCT, MSP ATCT, ORD ATCT, ZAB ARTCC, ZAU ARTCC, ZFW ARTCC, ZHU ARTCC, ZID ARTCC, ZKC ARTCC, ZMP ARTCC, ZOB ARTCC) across Base and Option Periods. Note: The provided text shows '#DIV/0!' for most pricing fields, indicating that actual prices are not populated in this excerpt.
• Restrictions: Escalation of labor, Health and Welfare rates, and other indirect costs embedded in fully burdened hourly rates is not permitted.

This workbook is crucial for bidders to understand the contract's pricing structure and to input their proposed rates for each CLIN and contract period. Bidders must carefully review the CLIN definitions and the specific requirements for each service type to accurately complete their pricing proposals. The absence of populated prices suggests that this is a template for bidders to fill in.

Amendment / Modification

This amendment (0002) to Solicitation #693KA8-26-R-00003 provides:

• An updated and clarifying response to question 21, contained in a separate document titled "693KA8-26-R-00003-Am 0002-Question 21 Updated Answer 20260512". This update does not alter any SIR Sections.

• Updates to Section B, CLIN Pricing Information tab, to revise two SOW section references.

• Section B, CLIN Pricing Information tab.

• A new document containing the updated answer to question 21.

• This amendment does not extend the proposal submission deadline.

• Offerors are reminded to acknowledge all amendments in their proposal submission.

• The Period of Performance remains 09/30/2026 to 09/29/2031.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides a clarification regarding training requirements and billing for new guards.

• Question: Will guards be required to complete site-specific orientation, FAA-specific training, or post order training before covering shifts at each location? If so, will those hours be billable in addition to the stated post coverage hours?
• Answer: New guards will receive site-specific orientation and training as part of their on-the-job training. This site-specific training will be billable in addition to the stated post coverage hours. This training should be incorporated into the Other Direct Costs (ODCs) Training lines within the Basic Services rates, not under Direct Labor hours.

This clarification confirms that site-specific training is billable and provides guidance on how to incorporate these costs into proposals.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides the CLIN Pricing Information and associated rate build-ups for various locations. It details the structure of Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) and outlines different service types, including Basic Services, Temporary Additional Services (TAS), Emergency Security Services (ESS), and other service categories. Bidders should use this information to understand the pricing structure and potential costs associated with fulfilling the contract requirements.

• Contract Structure: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Labor Hours (LH) line items, spanning one Base Year and four Option Years.
• CLIN Structure: "ABCDE" format where 'A' denotes the contract year, 'BCD' represents the FAA Facility, and 'E' indicates the Service Type.

Note that many pricing fields show '#DIV/0!' indicating that specific pricing data may not be populated or is to be determined.
• Restrictions: Escalation of labor, Health and Welfare rates, and other indirect costs embedded in fully burdened hourly rates is not permitted.

This attachment is crucial for bidders to understand the contract's pricing structure, the types of services to be procured, and the potential cost components. It details how CLINs are structured and provides a framework for calculating proposed pricing for various service types across different FAA facilities and contract periods. Bidders must carefully review the rate build-ups and pricing tables to ensure their proposals are compliant and competitive.

Amendment / Modification

This amendment (0001) modifies the proposal submission deadline. The original deadline of May 19, 2026, has been changed to May 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to questions submitted by potential offerors regarding Solicitation 693KA8-26-R-00003. It clarifies requirements related to licensing, certifications, contract transition, staffing, pricing, and other aspects of the solicitation.

• Licensing and Permits: Offerors must possess and submit all required state/local licenses and permits, including organizational-level CSO licenses, at proposal submission. Proof of application or a licensing plan is not acceptable in lieu of active licenses.
• Transition Period: The transition period will be from award through September 29, 2026, with performance starting September 30, 2026. The FAA views this period as sufficient for recruitment, hiring, licensing, training, and onboarding.
• Staffing: Only two (2) CSOs are required per shift at all facilities. The Site Supervisor is a CSO who stands post and is included in the two CSOs per shift count.
• Pricing: Offerors must propose fully burdened hourly labor rates for specified CLINs. The FAA has updated formulas in the CSA Pricing Workbook for calculating fully burdened rates.
• Training: New guards will receive site-specific orientation/training as part of on-the-job training, which will be billable in addition to post coverage hours. Incumbent guards who have completed FAA/site-specific training will not be required to repeat it, but must complete annual training requirements.
• Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE): GFE includes firearms, screening equipment, x-ray machines, and magnetometers. Ammunition is not provided, and firearms cannot be stored onsite due to lack of required Federal storage.

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document, Section M of the Solicitation/Instructions (SIR), outlines the evaluation factors and basis for award for the acquisition. The Government will use a "Best Value" approach, which is a source selection method based on identifying the offer representing the greatest value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors. The process involves subjective and professional judgment.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the following factors:
