The following is a Request for Information (RFI). This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposals. Responses to the RFI cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The government’s purpose in providing an opportunity for industry comment is to identify potential problem areas, and provide alternative recommendations in order to enhance the success of any future procurement for these services. The government believes industry feedback is important, and is receptive to any and all ideas from industry which would result in limiting unnecessarily constraining requirements, realizing cost savings, or highlighting potential technical or contractual problem areas associated with the initiative. Any comments provided should not be viewed as a vehicle for presenting a specific approach or product intended to be proposed, but as an opportunity to improve an eventual solicitation package. Comments are solicited regarding the following: 1. The Regional Contracting Office-SW is considering a firm, fixed-price, Requirements Contract consisting of one base period and four option years. The scope of the contract is to provide Class A, B, and C motor vehicle operators at Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, MCRD San Diego, MCMWTC Bridgeport, and MCAGCC Twentynine Palms. The estimated number of hours are contained in the solicitation. 2. Selection will be made on a “Best Value” basis, price and other factors considered (i.e. technical capability, past performance, & price). 3. Draft Performance Work Statement and Performance Requirements Summary. There is a draft solicitation which includes a draft Performance Work Statement(PWS)and Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) and Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). Please contact the POC listed below to obtain an electronic copy of these items. Review by and input from potential sources is requested to screen the draft PWS and PRS for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clarity and to identify aspects that would unnecessarily restrict competition or raise costs or discourage contractor innovation or participation. Comment is requested on whether quality requirements are overly restrictive and result in significant cost drivers so the government can evaluate the established criteria. 4. Comments, whether supportive or critical, are earnestly solicited regarding every aspect of the proposed initiative. Replies are not mandatory. Replies will be separated from, and have no bearing on subsequent evaluation of proposals submitted in response to any resulting request for proposals or quotations. The use of comments received from industry to complete final statements of work and resulting solicitation documents will be at the sole discretion of the Regional Contracting Office-SW. Eligibility in participating in future acquisition does not depend upon a response to this RFI. The government will not critique a potential offeror’s comments and the government does not intend to pay for the information solicited and will not recognize any costs associated with submission of the RFI. Proprietary information is not being solicited. Information considered proprietary, if any, should be identified as such. Responses to this RFI must be submitted no later than 2! 0 January 2006 in writing to: Regional Contracting Office-SW Attn: Bill Hepler P.O. Box 1609 Oceanside, CA 92051-1609 or by email at
