2.0 Background

2.1 Metis is a knowledge discovery and management web-based application that integrates various Commercial-of-the-Shelf (COTS) software and hardware components into a single program that provides a flexible data processing pipeline for conversion and enrichment, indexes and catalogs content for rapid search and retrieval, controls access through user permissions, and provides personnel the ability to automate, create and manage metadata. The Metis project consists of two efforts; document conversion to digital format and the development and maintenance of software tools and applications for file display, data research and analysis. The conversion portion includes converting paper, fiche, and film productsinto an electronic format including performing automated and human optical character recognition and the addition of metadata to each digitized file to allow for rapid and thorough retrieval of relevant information. The software tools and applications portion includes integration of the electronic archive into current analyst tools and databases to include the commercial cloud and developing robust web-based interfaces for customers to search and visualize the information using a Mark Logic XML server, Net Owl entity extraction software, temporal application and Google Maps TM software. The contractor must be knowledgeable on the Federal Cloud Computing Strategy and Standards to include the Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) program. Additionally, the contractor will be required to develop and monitor a quality assurance program to ensure information is accurately digitized, indexed, and integrated. The conversion process requires 100 percent human review of scanned documents to ensure mission related information and terms are properly identified in the metadata for later retrieval and use by analysts. Some original documents are of very poor quality and require review by knowledgeable personnel in order to recognize and flag key terms. Personnel performing the conversion and optical character recognition must have significant experience with and knowledge of the AFTAC organization, its history, and its nuclear monitoring mission. Conversion will be performed at AFTAC using government furnished equipment including six high-speed scanners, one microfiche scanner, and computers. Software tools and application development may be performed at AFTAC and at the contractor facility.

INDUSTRY DAY
1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Headquarters Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (HQ AF ISR Agency) in support of the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), Materials Technology (TM) Directorate, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, is hosting a program overview for the Metis Follow-On contract scheduled for 24 July 2014. The primary purpose of this program overview is to expand upon the technical requirements of the Metis II effort. This event is open to large and small businesses. Classification of this event will be at the SECRET level.

1.2 This is NOT a Request for Proposal. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME. The government will not assume any liability for any contractor expenses for responding to this notice.

1.3 The Air Force Technical Applications Center is the sole Department of Defense agency operating and maintaining a global network of nuclear event detection sensors entitled the U.S. Atomic Energy Detection System (USAEDS). Once the USAEDS detects an event underground, underwater, in the atmosphere, or in space, AFTAC analysts review the event for nuclear identification and report their findings to national decision-makers through Headquarters Air Force.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Metis is a knowledge discovery and management web-based application that integrates various Commercial-of-the-Shelf (COTS) software and hardware components into a single program that provides a flexible data processing pipeline for conversion and enrichment, indexes and catalogs content for rapid search and retrieval, controls access through user permissions, and provides personnel the ability to automate, create and manage metadata. The Metis project consists of two efforts; document conversion to digital format and the development and maintenance of software tools and applications for file display, data research and analysis. The conversion portion includes converting paper, fiche, and film productsinto an electronic format including performing automated and human optical character recognition and the addition of metadata to each digitized file to allow for rapid and thorough retrieval of relevant information. The software tools and applications portion includes integration of the electronic archive into current analyst tools and databases to include the commercial cloud and developing robust web-based interfaces for customers to search and visualize the information using a Mark Logic XML server, Net Owl entity extraction software, temporal application and Google Maps TM software. The contractor must be knowledgeable on the Federal Cloud Computing Strategy and Standards to include the Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) program.

2.2 Additionally, the contractor will be required to develop and monitor a quality assurance program to ensure information is accurately digitized, indexed, and integrated. The conversion process requires 100 percent human review of scanned documents to ensure mission related information and terms are properly identified in the metadata for later retrieval and use by analysts. Some original documents are of very poor quality and require review by knowledgeable personnel in order to recognize and flag key terms. Personnel performing the conversion and optical character recognition must have significant experience with and knowledge of the AFTAC organization, its history, and its nuclear monitoring mission. Conversion will be performed at AFTAC using government furnished equipment including six high-speed scanners, one microfiche scanner, and computers. Software tools and application development may be performed at AFTAC and at the contractor facility.

Background: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), Office of Scientific Coordination has a requirement for pathology services in support of FDA’s mission. NCTR is located at the Jefferson Laboratories of the FDA in Jefferson, Arkansas, approximately 35 miles south of Little Rock and 28 miles north of Pine Bluff. NCTR is an internationally recognized FDA research center that conducts toxicological research studies and other research activities designed to support the FDA’s mission to protect the public’s health. NCTR investigators collaborate with researchers elsewhere in the FDA as well as other government agencies, industry, and academia. FDA/NCTR and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have had an interagency agreement (IAG) since 1992, through which the FDA collaborates with the National Toxicology Program (NTP) to design and conduct toxicological studies involving compounds of regulatory interest to the FDA. Many of the studies at NCTR must follow the FDA’s Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) guidelines. NCTR is comprised of six research divisions and has facilities including: 132 general or special purpose research laboratories; Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC)-accredited animal facilities, including, but not limited to, rodent facilities accommodating conventional housing, specific pathogen free rodent production colony, isolators for germ-free rodents, and quarantine; a non-human primate research center; a zebrafish production facility; a phototoxicology research center; an imaging center including microPET, MRI, and CT scanner; a nanotechnology core facility; and an inhalation toxicology facility.

Historical Information: On-site pathology services for the animal studies performed at NCTR have been obtained through contracts since the Center’s inception in 1972, and most currently by Toxicological Pathology Associates, Inc. (TPA) under a cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract. The existing workforce performing the services consists of approximately forty (40) employees made up of both professional and service employee positions. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, the number of studies per year with pathology requirements was 48, 76, and 64, respectively. At any given time, pathology services are being conducted on approximately 10-15 different studies. The majority of pathology studies are conducted on rodents; however, some studies involve non-human primates, other mammals, and/or zebrafish. Facilities, property, and utilities have historically been government-furnished. A complete list of GFP will be included in any resultant solicitation.

Brief Scope: NCTR requires on-site pathology services, for a base period plus up to four (4) 1-year option periods, on various animals in, but not limited to, the following areas: 1) necropsy and gross pathology; 2) histology; 3) pathologist services; 4) clinical chemistry; 5) immunohistochemistry and special procedures; 6) molecular pathology; 7) digital imaging; 8) data management; 9) archive management (wet tissue and block/slide); 10) quality assurance; 11) quality control; and 12) administrative services and management. The Contractor shall conduct the pathology services on each study to the requirements/parameters established by the NCTR Principal Investigators (PIs). The Contractor shall work closely with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and PI to plan, implement, perform, report and archive the research protocols. Planning includes, but is not limited to, developing cost estimates, schedules, and work plans to be performed for each study. Research protocols written by the PIs will determine the pathology support requirements, which may range from necropsy and collection of a few tissues of only a small number of animals to complete necropsy (collection of ≥44 tissues) of over a thousand animals requiring special handling of tissues, histopathology, special staining or other techniques (immunohistochemistry, digital imaging, etc.), hematology, urinalysis, and/or clinical chemistry. Other requested techniques may include, but are not limited to, teratology techniques, respiratory pathology techniques (inhalation toxicology studies), sperm morphology and motility analysis, vaginal cytology, vaginal smears for sperm evaluations, and mammary whole mounts.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

ADDENDA TO 52.212-2, Evaluation — Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
1) Price
2) Technical ability of the service offered to meet the Government requirement

3) Past Performance

Price – Received quotes will first be ranked and arranged by price (lowest first) before the Government assesses technical capability. Offers will be evaluated based on total price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise option(s). IAW FAR 52.217-8, a 6 month extension will be evaluated as part of the initial price evaluation. If the offeror does not provide a seperately priced line item for the six month extension, the Government will evaluate the extension using the offerors provided rates for the base and/or option years.

Technical – An offeror must provide specific evidence that they are capable of fulfilling the requirment. Technical criteria will be evaluated by a technical advisor for compatibility/functionality review and rated IAW Table A-1 (as provided below). Documents submitted in response to this solicitation must be fully responsive to and consistent with the following (if applicable): (1) Requirements of the solicitation (Item Numbers), Performance Work Statement (PWS) and government standards and regulations pertaining to this requirement.
Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings
Rating Description
Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum
requirements of the solicitation.
Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum
requirements of the solicitation.

Past Performance – Past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in table A-2.

Table A-2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings
Rating Description
Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)
Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom
information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past
performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. The government will use information submitted by the offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. Offerors must provide a list of no less than three (3), of the most relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three (3) years. Relevant contracts include present/past performance efforts which involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Evaluation Summary – If the lowest priced offer is determined to be acceptable for both technical and past performance that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to be technically acceptable or has unacceptable past performance the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is determined to be acceptable for both technical and past performance, or until all offerors are evaluated.
A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
