SIA 3 Update & Pre-Solicitation Conference
The Virginia Contracting Activity (VaCA) is continuing market research and planning to enable release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Solutions for Intelligence Analysis (SIA) 3. Following is updated information regarding this effort.
1. The Government received Capability Statements and is currently assessing these. The Government anticipates publishing assessment results by 7 December.
2. Development efforts remain on track with the Government anticipating release of a full DRAFT RFP on 14 December.
3. Following Capability Statement results and publication of the DRAFT RFP, the Government intends to host a Pre-Solicitation Conference on 20 December at 1000 Eastern. The Government requests that only companies intending to propose as a Prime contractor for this effort attend.
The event will be held at the SECRET//NOFORN classification level in the Clapper Auditorium at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Headquarters, Joint Base Anacostia Bolling (JBAB), Washington, DC. A maximum of three visitor RSVPs per company will be accepted.
Registration will close at 1500 Eastern, Monday, 11 December 2017 or whenever facility capacity is reached, whichever occurs first.
Up to three actions are required to fully complete RSVPs:
a. (APPLIES TO ALL) All personnel desiring to attend must send an RSVP request to the SIA 3 PMO. RSVP requests must include the visitor's Name and Company. Submit RSVPs to sia3pmo@dodiis.mil. Due to the high number of expected RSVP requests as well as venue space limitations, no "walk-ins" will be permitted.
b. (MAY NOT APPLY TO ALL) Visitors not possessing an Intelligence Community security badge will be required to submit a visit request to attend. Visit requests must be submitted by the company Facility Security Officer (FSO) through the Joint Clearance Access Verification System (JCAVS) to SMO XP124CS. FSOs are requested to list "SIA3 Pre-Solicitation" in the point of contact field of the request.
c. (MAY NOT APPLY TO ALL) As a U.S. military station, JBAB sets requirements for visitors coming onto the base where DIA is a tenant activity. JBAB policy requires that at least one person in every vehicle entering the base show a current federally-issued identification (e.g. Common Access Card (CAC) or military identification). Visitors not possessing a current federally-issued identification must send a separate message to the sia3pmo@dodiis.mil address. That message must include the visitor's name as shown on their driver's license, date of birth, driver's license number and state of issue. Visitors in this category must enter through the base's main gate or Visitor Center and show their driver's license. Visitors in this category should plan to arrive not later than two (2) hours prior to the session starting time.
Parking on JBAB is extremely limited, and no spaces will be specially reserved for this event. Attendees should strongly consider carpooling and arriving early in case distant walking is required.
About the SIA 3 Requirement
As a follow-on from the current SIA 2 contract, SIA 3 is planned as a non-personal services contract for Intelligence Analytical Support to DIA and the Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE). Services will be needed both in CONUS and OCONUS. In some cases, OCONUS services will subject personnel to harsh and hostile conditions in environments designated by the U.S. Government as Imminent Danger and/or Hostile Fire Zones.
The planned period of performance (PoP) for the anticipated multiple award IDIQ contract will be a five (5) year base ordering period with one optional five (5) year ordering period. Subsequent task orders may have up to a one (1) year base period and up to four (4) option periods (no option period will exceed one (1) year in duration).
The anticipated contract will require all contractor personnel to be U.S. citizens who possess and maintain an active Top Secret clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access and successful screening by counter-intelligence polygraph.
The NAICS Code for this contract is planned to be 541990.
