Background

• Existing Systems Engineering Technical
  Assistance Contract (SETA II) expires as well as
  other vehicles
• SETA II (BAE under DTFA01-00-C-00068)
  8/16/2000-9/30/2010
• REAPS (CSSI under DTFAWA-05-C-00044)
  3/30/2005-3/30/2010
• SEAMS (STI under DTFAWA-07-C-00074
  9/20/2007-9/20/2011
• NextGen has a requirement for additional Systems
  Engineering resources immediately
• Because of the similarity in needed contract
  support, they were combined and will be managed
  under one office. This effort is referred to
  as.
• Systems Engineering 2020 (SE-2020)

SE-2020 Progress - Market Survey 1 Results

• On September 5, 2008, SE-2020 Market Survey 1
  was released
• On September 24, 2008, 116 responses were
  received
• Primary objectives and outcomes for Market Survey
  1 were
• Determine if there were sufficient number of
  capable firms to run a competition (Yes)
• Determine if set aside possibility exists (Yes)
• Stimulate teaming by posting an interested vendor
  list (Completed) http//faaco.faa.gov/

SE-2020 Progress - Market Survey 2 Results

• On October 8, 2008, SE2020 Market Survey 2 was
  released
• On October 29, 2008, responses were received
• It was determined that an adequate amount of
  viable responses were received
• Our primary objectives and outcomes for Market
  Survey 2 were
• Representative labor cost information
• We requested a snapshot of unloaded hourly
  labor rates (i.e., what the vendors pay the
  employee without overhead, fringe benefits, fee,
  etc.)
• Improve our labor category definitions to allow
  the flexibility required to attract retain the
  vast number of new full time equivalent employees
  
• To achieve this objective we allowed vendors to
  propose new categories and rewrite of our
  definitions

SE-2020 Scope Delineation Between Vehicles

• SIR 1 Language
• The contractor must, in response to funded task
  orders issued under this contract, provide the
  full range of NextGen Research and Mission
  Analysis support services in one or more of the
  functional task areas listed in Section C.3.0
  that directly relate to NextGen.
• For the purpose of clearly defining the scope of
  this contract, the NextGen Research and Mission
  Analysis activities are those activities
  necessary to reach the Concept and Requirements
  Definition Readiness Decision phase as
  delineated in the FAAs Acquisition Management
  System (AMS), Sections 2.2 thru 2.3.3. This
  contract does not cover AMS Lifecycle Management
  activities beyond the Concept and Requirements
  Definition Readiness Decision stage.

• SIR 2 Language
• For the purpose of clearly defining the scope of
  this contract, this contract covers Systems
  Engineering activities that occur throughout the
  AMS Lifecycle Management. The majority of System
  Engineering activities under this contract are
  expected to occur after the AMS Lifecycle
  Acquisition Management Concept and Requirements
  Definition Readiness Decision stage and before
  the Solution Implementation stage (see AMS
  Sections 2.3.4 thru 2.4.4). This contract does
  not cover AMS Lifecycle Management activities
  before the Concept and Requirements Definition
  Readiness Decision stage that are research
  activities, or activities after the Final
  Investment Decision stage that are Full-Scale
  Development, maintenance of NAS systems, or
  program management support for Program Offices
  responsible for fielding and/or maintaining NAS
  systems

Distribution Of Task Assignment Level Of Effort
Between Contracts

• It is the FAAs intent to equitably
  distribute/issue task assignments between three
  (3) NEXTGEN RD or two (2) System
  Engineering contracts.
• The FAA shall consider the following when
  determining which contract(s) a specific task
  assignment is issued against
• (1) best fit for technical requirements of the
  task assignment
• (2) Organization Conflict of Interest (OCI)
  issue(s)
• (3) ongoing task assignments on each contract
• (4) current distribution of task assignments
  among the contracts
• (5) small business participation
• (6) performance evaluations on previous task
  assignments
• (7) contractor success in meeting small
  business subcontracting goals and
• (8) continuity of efforts
• If it is determined to be in the best interest of
  the FAA, the FAA reserves the right to
• (1) issue a task assignment to only one
  contract
• (2) issue a task assignment to 2 or more
  contracts
• (3) compete the task assignment between all
  contracts
• The FAA shall decide which contract(s) a specific
  task assignment is issued against.

SE-2020 Cover Letter Accompanying Draft SIRs

• Relation between SIRS Vendors are encouraged to
  compare the scope of SIR 1 and SIR 2
• OCI Vendors are encouraged to review the SIR OCI
  provisions as well as the proposal submittal
  requirement for an OCI Mitigation Plan
• SIR 1 Subcontracting Goals Vendors are requested
  to comment on the draft subcontracting plan
  goals. If an interested Offeror believes that the
  established goals are not reasonable or
  obtainable, the Offeror should provide comments
  on what goals they believe are reasonable and
  obtainable, and provide rationale for their
  determination of reasonable and obtainable.
  Based upon industry comment, the FAA may revise
  the subcontracting plan requirements, goals, and
  evaluation
• Contract Type SIRs reflect Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee,
  Level of Effort, Task Assignment, Term Contract
  type. However, the FAA is still considering
  other contract types. Industry input on contract
  type is requested
• Task Order Distribution Vendors are asked to
  review this section of the SIR

3 Additions

• Weather is a Functional Area Requirement that was
  omitted from SIR 1 and SIR 2 Team Structure
  Utilization Factor (Volume I)
• Avionics Manufacturers is a Functional Area
  Requirement that was inadvertently listed in SIR
  1 FO Set-aside Team Structure Utilization Factor
  (Volume I) as Avionics Packages
• The hidden data was included in S001 for SIR 1
  FO and SIR 2 FO in error, and holds no
  significance to interested vendors. To
  view/access this hidden data 1) click the
  upper left box of the spreadsheet (above 16 and
  to left of C) 2) click format 3) click
