JE-OPETS, OASIS+ Proposal Lead Time, Request for Information (RFI)

The US Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Natick Contracting Division (NCD) on behalf of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) is seeking information from vendors interested in competing for the successor contract vehicle(s) to the existing Joint Enterprise Omnibus Program, Engineering and Technical Support (JE-OPETS).  The JE_OPETS Contracts will be succeeded by Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) Professional Services Task Orders under the GSA OASIS+ Contract.

JE-OPETS is currently divided into three (3) MA IDIQs, each with a $249M ceiling.  JE-OPETS, task orders were competed across the IDIQ contract holders under each MA IDIQ.  The three MA IDIQs were:

• Acquisition (ACQ) IDIQ
• Business and Analytical, Engineering & Technical, and Information Technology (BEI) IDIQ
• Logistics and Medical (LM) IDIQ

The government intends to issue the first four (4) of ten (10) separate Task Order Requests on OASIS+ on or about 5 December 2024, with a 2-week submission deadline.  The scope of work will be comparable to scope performed under the previous OPETS Task Orders; with specific work scope dependent upon the program supported. Varying USG estimates for all Task Orders are  between $5-40M.   

The government is seeking industry feedback on 1) the feasibility of this timeline to allow offerors to submit one or more adequate proposals and 2) responses from industry on its interest in proposing to one or more of these RFPs.  The NAICS codes for the first four (4) Task Orders are 541611 (3 Task Orders) and 541715 (1 Task Order).

General Information

The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense’s (JPEO-CBRND’s) mission is to provide integrated layered chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense capabilities to the Joint Force across Combined Joint All-Domain Operations.  The JPEO-CBRND also supports the national and global efforts Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD).

The JPEO-CBRND manages our nation’s investments in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment and medical countermeasures.  The JPEO-CBRND leads, manages, and directs the acquisition, fielding, and sustainment of CBRN sensors, protective equipment, medical countermeasures, and specialized equipment for U.S. Special Forces, integration and information management systems, and defense enabling biotechnologies.

The JPEO-CBRND works side-by-side with various DoD and Non-DoD government agencies/organizations to further the CBRND mission.  These “CBRND Enterprise” organizations have an ongoing need for a wide range of performance-based services and contract support personnel to support the CBRND mission, the majority of which are currently supported by the Joint Enterprise – Omnibus Program, Engineering, and Technical Support (JE-OPETS) contract vehicles.  These requirements supplement and support, but are not limited to, program management, systems engineering, and technical assistance requirements to facilitate systems development and life cycle management activities across the JPEO-CBRND Enterprise.

Services needed are for Acquisition, Program Management, Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support and to provide Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) subject matter expertise and support.   The services may support the JPEO-CBRND and other DoD and non-DoD government agencies with CBRN-related needs.

Note that there will be multiple performance locations within the Task Order Requests.
