    The Air Education Training Command (AETC) is soliciting industry input for its Base Operations Support (BOS) Services – Enterprise Solution. This initiative aims to establish a multiple award contract for various support services vital to AETC operations. The request follows a previously posted Request for Information (RFI) and an industry day held in August 2024. The document outlines a survey with specific questions directed at industry participants to identify the importance of different Performance Work Statement (PWS) service areas, recommend evaluation methodologies, suggest performance metrics, and provide feedback based on past contract experiences. Respondents are asked to rank service areas, propose evaluation criteria, and consider subcontracting options. The feedback will assist in shaping the evaluation factors for contractor selection. It emphasizes that this inquiry is solely for market research and does not constitute an RFP. Participation in this survey does not guarantee future contracting opportunities, but monitoring of subsequent announcements is encouraged for interested vendors.

    The Air Education Training Command (AETC) held an Industry Day focused on Base Operations Support (BOS), aimed at facilitating market research and innovation exchange with industry stakeholders. This non-binding event, scheduled for August 28-29, 2024, allowed contractors to engage with government representatives regarding a potential $4 billion Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for BOS services across various AETC bases. Key areas of discussion included operational capabilities, service area risks, and technology innovations for enhanced efficiency. The current contract structure covers multiple bases like Keesler and Vance AFB, with opportunities for AbilityOne subcontracting. AETC emphasizes that this event is not a solicitation for proposals but a means to gather insights and lay groundwork for future contracting needs. Relevant information from the event will be consolidated and posted on SAM.gov for all attendees. The projected timeline indicates that the contract for Vance AFB, expiring in March 2028, will be the first task order awarded under the new IDIQ MAC.

    The Air Education Training Command (AETC) is preparing to implement a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for Base Operations Support (BOS) services across its installations.

The AETC aims to structure opportunities for small businesses and is currently determining subcontracting goals with AbilityOne. Existing contracts will remain active until their completion, while new MAC awards will not necessarily be tied to geographical regions. Furthermore, discussions regarding teaming partnerships and joint ventures are encouraged, with the potential for tailored proposals based on innovative ideas that enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Overall, the intention is to streamline the bidding process while maintaining flexibility in contractor selection, ensuring a diverse range of qualified firms can compete for the upcoming projects.
