***THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURSPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR BIDS/PROPOSALS.***

NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice or any follow-up information requests.

1. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for Market Research ONLY to determine the availability of potential vendors.

2. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside.

3. Description: The Government will use this information to determine if there are interested and qualified vendors to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hub zone, and Woman-Owned small business concerns, to support an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract. The government requests that any interested parties responding to this notice identify your small business status, if any, to the identified North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.

ARTS-V1 is for modern, long-range, strategic SAM threats. The system will provide full fidelity simulation of the tracking and engagement component of the threat(s). ARTS-V1 is a robust and ruggedized mobile system that tracks and/or engages multiple targets simultaneously. The Government owns a level 3 Technical Data Package (TDP) for the system. COTS manuals are available. The Government has unlimited data rights for the system.

This Source Sought Synopsis will not necessitate the transmission nor storage for classified information. Therefore, a DD254 will not be executed during this process. However, once this effort reaches Requests for Proposals (RFP), a DD254 will be executed to support the effort as the transmission, processing, creation, and storage of CLASSIFED information will be required. The government will not sponsor the contractor’s Facility Clearance List (FCL) in this effort. Security will be handled in accordance with the DD254 for classified efforts when executed.

Scope of work:

1. The Government is seeking a CLS contract to support depot maintenance support for the ARTS V1 system.

Contractor support will require a Mobile Depot Maintenance (MDM) concept.
