Design-Build Design-Bid-Build Multiple-Award Task-Order Contract in Lithuania and Latvia   2

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Europe District is planning a procurement to award a new Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build Multiple Award Task Order Contract (DB-DBB MATOC) for construction projects in Latvia and Lithuania. The MATOC will have a five-year ordering period with a maximum capacity of $49.5M shared amongst the awardees, and will expire at the end of the ordering period or when the maximum capacity is reached, whichever comes first.

Note: Though the corresponding Sources Sought Notice (#W912GB27X1CPR) listed Estonia in addition to Lativa and Lithuania, the Government has opted to exclude Estonia from the MATOC footprint based on the results of market research conducted.

The solicitation for this procurement will use the two-phase design-build procedures of FAR 36, FAR 16.5, FAR 15, and other regulations and supplements. The Government anticipates issuing a Phase 1 - Request for Qualifications in December of 2026, followed by a Phase 2- Request for Proposal in March of 2027 with a target of five awards in the third quarter of 2027. The Request for Qualifications will be posted here through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website. Interested offerors must be registered in PIEE to submit a response.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

The scope included in the upcoming solicitation requires the contractor(s) and/or subcontractor(s) to process, store, or transmit Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) through their information system(s) and requires the contractor and/or subcontractor(s) to comply with CMMC requirements.

For any task orders that follow the MATOC award, the CMMC level will be determined at the time of task order RFP.

Cybersecurity compliance (NIST SP 800 / CMMC Level 1) is not reimbursable.

Offerors must hold the required CMMC certification at the time of award and throughout task order performance. Proof of CMMC compliance is required to be uploaded to the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) module. The Government will use SPRS to verify certification status at award, and any offeror without the required certification at that time will be ineligible for award as their proposal will have failed to meet a material requirement of the solicitation and will be determined unacceptable.

See DFARS 252.204-7021 "Contractor Compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements" and DFARS 252.204-7025 "Notice of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements" for the definitions, requirements, reporting, and subcontract information for this contract/order/agreement.
