[MilCom] More Info On FLIPs

[Keith Stein]

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) proposes to award a 
Firm Fixed Price, Requirements contract with Cost Reimbursement 
provisions for Distribution and an Economic Price Adjustment for Paper 
that provide for Negative Maintenance, Finishing, Printing and 
Distribution of the Flight Information Publication (FLIP) products.

The period of performance will be for a one-year base period and four 
(4) option years.     The applicable NAICS code is 3231 and the size 
standard is 500.     These products are maintained, printed and 
distributed on a 28-day cycle and multiples thereof.     The finished 
products are charts and bound books, which will be distributed 
worldwide.     The requirement contains four lots.     These four lots 
consist of Negative Maintenance, Photo-servicing, Printing and 
Distribution of various size charts, 5.12? x 8? bound books containing 
primarily graphic data and various size books containing primarily text 
data.     For Lot 1 the successful contractor may have to perform 
negative maintenance on seven (7) Area Planning AP1B (Aeronautical 
Navigation Charts). This would entail setting/stripping in NGA-directed 
data abstract (DAs) corrections into the interior of these charts, plus 
updating the Effective Dates and Julian Bar Code date on the front 
panels of four of the charts.     For Lot 2 the contractor may be 
required to add page numbers to all of the body pages and type-set the 
Table of Contents pages and the Effective Dates and Julian Bar Code date 
on the front covers. Lots 3 and 4 do not require negative maintenance. 
Award of each lot on this solicitation will be made on an all-or-none 
basis utilizing the best value approach.     Firms must demonstrate at 
least two (2) years experience performing the same or similar services 
in the form of an outline of projects for specific relevant work which 
includes contract numbers, description of work, points of contact/phone 
numbers, and any other pertinent information which would enable the 
Government to assess each firm?s capabilities.     Proposals will 
consist of providing both written material and an oral presentation.     
Proposals shall be evaluated and scored using the following 
criteria:     Past Performance, Technical, Quality, Management, test 
download samples, and Cost/Price to determine the best value to the 
Government.     Since subcontracting opportunities exist, it is 
suggested that small business firms or others interested in 
subcontracting opportunities in connection with this procurement make 
direct contact with prospective prime contractors early in the 
procurement stages.     All responsible sources are encouraged to submit 
a request for a copy of the draft solicitation.     The proposed 
solicitation will be unrestricted.     At the Government?s discretion, 
the solicitation documents, statement of work, specifications, and forms 
may be sent either e-mail, compact disc (read only), or in paper copies, 
or any combination of the above.
