The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) intends to issue a solicitation for RTC Wide Support Services (RWSS) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. It will be set-aside for 8(a) Small Businesses under NAICS 541712 (exception for space vehicles and guided missiles). The resulting contract is expected to be a five year (one year Base Period, four one-year Option Periods) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). Redstone Test Center (RTC) provides technical support to the local aviation and weapon systems acquisition community, the US Army, and other customers (Department of Defense (DOD), private industry, Joint Services, and foreign governments) for aviation and weapon system research, development, production, and post-deployment testing activities. These efforts are conducted primarily at Redstone Arsenal, but test and evaluation support is also provided at other Continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS (OCONUS) sites on a temporary duty basis. Contractor support is necessary due to the limited number of Government personnel available to meet test and evaluation demands. This action is to consolidate support services in all of the Directorates and Divisions in executing RTC's mission. RTC Directorates and Divisions require contractor support to provide labor and supplies, equipment, test fixtures, tools, materials, and transportation necessary to perform tests, evaluations, analyses, incidental support required to support activities for testing efforts, and other associated activities. There is no solicitation available at this time. A draft Request for Proposal (RFP) is planned for release before the end of January 2016. A formal solicitation release is planned for the beginning of May 2016. The official release of the solicitation will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website located at the following address: https://www.fbo.gov/. The on-line version of the RFP will include all documents of the solicitation package. No hard copy of the solicitation will be issued. Amendments, if any, will be posted at the same location as the solicitation. The complete solicitation package, including amendments, should be received and reviewed prior to submitting a response.
