Scope

Next Generation One-Person Life Raft Modernization Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) only.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Human Systems Division (AFLCMC/ROU) is conducting a market assessment to identify potential sources and companies that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience with one-person life rafts to meet AF requirements.

AFLCMC is issuing this SSS to explore cost-effective options to provide this capability and to obtain valuable feedback regarding the attached System Requirements Document (SRD).

This is not a request for a quote, request for proposals (RFP), or an invitation to bid, nor is this to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach.

The Government will not reimburse or pay for any information submitted in response to this SSS or any follow-up information requests.

Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.

All costs associated with responding to this SSS will be solely at the responding party’s expense.

Not responding to this SSS does not preclude participation in any future Request for Proposal (RFP).

Small Businesses are encouraged to provide responses to this SSS to assist AFLCMC in determining potential levels of competition available in the industry, as well as helping to establish a basis for developing any subsequent small business subcontract plan goal percentages.

An acquisition strategy is still being determined.

Market research results will assist the Air Force in determining the acquisition strategy.

Please review the two documents attached to this sources sought for additional...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
