In support of Marine Corps Installations Command Food Service and Subsistence Section (MCICOM G-4), MCICOM intends to solicit support services for the Marine Corps Food Management Information System (MCFMIS).The Government is actively seeking information on potential sources of the requirements described below. All costs associated with responding to this notice are solely at the responding parties' expense. Respondents are solely responsible for properly marking and clearly identifying any proprietary information or trade secrets contained within their response. The Government will not be liable for, or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information received in response to this notice. Proprietary information that is properly marked will be safeguarded and handled in accordance with applicable Government regulations. The Government is under no obligation to award a contract from any submitted responses.THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. It is a

market research tool being used to determine potential firms capable of providing the products and services described herein prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP). The NAICS code for this requirement is 511210 with a size standard of $41.5M.The purpose of this DRAFT Performance Work Statement is to outline requirements needed to support a Class I information Management System (Marine Corps Food Management Information System (MCFMIS)). This system shall provide the Marine Corps Food Service Program with a tool to determine subsistence requirements; conduct inventory; generate and modify recipes, menus, and production lists, analyze nutritional content, figure cost, and capture point of sale information. The Marine Corps requires a corporate license with unlimited users for use of this software which is currently installed at all Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) installation locations. The annual license shall cover all enhancements or modifications to the Commercial of the Shelf (COTS) software resulting from engineering changes and required interfaces.The Marine Corps’ goals are to provide its users with a web- based system that allows designated users to work from any location on any computer. The software shall support food management operations in an “unconnected” mode so that users can still access all capabilities of the system if the Internet is unavailable for a given time. The software shall incorporate DOD Single Sign On (SSO) technology to achieve DOD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Public Key (PK) Enabling IAW Department of Defense (DoD) Information Technology (IT) Enterprise Strategy and Roadmap, to eliminate the need for user name and passwords to connect. The software shall provide the basic core functions of: meal planning, food ordering, inventory control, forecasting, headcount recording, recipe management, budget and financial management and reporting, as well as the enhanced use by personnel involved in menu development, menu evaluation, nutrition education, nutrition research, food research and development, and patron verification/accountability. The processes should be the same in peacetime, contingency, and war, in CONUS as well as OCONUS.The Marine Corps collects and manages vast amounts of data within MCFMIS. Turning that data into information, and using that information to intelligently manage government operations is a huge challenge. In some cases it may take days or weeks of pulling together data from different sources and reports, to obtain historical, current, and predictive information required for effective business operations. The Marine Corps is looking for a way to access timely, detailed, and trustworthy data to drive informed decision making. The Government believes the use of Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Warehousing will enable more effective strategic, tactical, and operational insights and decision making.The Contractor shall implement a solution that incorporates a software module to help the Government achieve a solution that integrates the use of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing.MCFMIS must be able to function consistently in peacetime, contingency, and war. MCFMIS shall be accessible from authorized computers that have access to the worldwide web. The Food Management system must allow for operations even when the web is not accessible at a site. Data and transactions should be capable of being submitted in real time via the Internet. Data and transactions should also be capable of being “batched” at such times when the web is not accessible, and transmitted when web access is again available. The MCFMIS system must also be able to automatically re-synchronize data and operations when connection to the web is re-established.The Marine Corps anticipates that extensions, to the selected COTS Food Service Management software, as well as changes to business practices shall be needed to provide a complete automated solution that satisfies our military as well as our civilian food service Contractor’s requirements for subsistence production and logistics.Respondents are requested to review the above summary and provided DRAFT Performance Work Statement, and provide the following information in no more than 20 pages:Company NameCompany AddressCAGE Code / DUNSWebsite AddressTwo (2) Points of Contact with names, email addresses, and telephone numbersBusiness Category under NAICS 511210 (i.e., Large, Small Disadvantaged, Veteran, Women Owned, etc.)Company Qualifications and Experience:Describe your company’s capabilities and qualifications to provide the necessary efforts to meet the above requirements; and,Describe your company’s past or current experience in fulfilling similar requirements; whether for the Government or non-federal entities, and identify whether that experience is as a Prime contractor or subcontractor.All information in response to this notice shall be submitted on or before 10:00 AM (EST) on 09 September 2021.
