This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. The solicitation number is 70Z08822RESDV0001. The solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) and the solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-04. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this acquisition is 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures. The size standard is $39.5 million.
The purpose of this contract solicitation is to solicit a Tower/Antenna Multiple-Award Construction Contract (TMACC). The TMACC contracts will meet a majority of the USCG tower and antenna construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, demolition, inspection, and repairs with a value below $3M within the 50 United States and its territories. Initial contracts will be competitively solicited and awarded nationally. Task orders will range from a minimum task order value of $3,500 dollars to a maximum task order value of $3 million dollars. Orders will be solicited on a competitive basis among the TMACC firms unless an authorized exception applies. The contracts offer a streamlined approach to construction contracting and ongoing competition between qualified contractors. Awards will be restricted to small business set-aside firms. All qualified small business firms can compete.
The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award up to seven (7) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Nationwide Tower/Antenna Multiple Award Construction Contracts (TMACCs). The terms and ordering procedures of each contract will be uniform among the IDIQ contracts and consistent with ordering procedures in FAR 16.505.
Each of the IDIQ contracts will include a base year plus four one-year options (five-year total). Task order limits will range from $3,500 to a maximum task order value of $3 million. The minimum guarantee for each individual contract will be $1,000. The anticipated aggregate capacity for the seven new national TMACC contracts is $24.9 million dollars. Contract awardees will be eligible to compete for TMACC task orders at various USCG Districts in locations nationwide. A map of the Coast Guard Districts has been provided below. Ordering authority will be available to any United States Coast Guard component with appropriate warrant authority. However, task orders will primarily be awarded and administered by the Coast Guard's Civil Engineering Units (CEUs).
The contract awardees under this procurement shall be able to provide all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment, and materials for multiple and concurrent task orders across the United States and its territories. Firms shall ensure that all activities performed by its personnel, subcontractors and suppliers are executed as required in compliance with all applicable environmental and safety laws and regulations and will meet all relevant, appropriate, and applicable standards. Specific requirements will be detailed in each task order general requirements, specifications, and drawings. The description of these requirements will vary for each Task Order dependent upon the needs of the requiring entity.
In order to be selected for award, offerors will be required to submit an electronic proposal consistent with the requirements of Section L of the solicitation. It is the offerors' responsibility to insure their proposal meets all of the requirements stated in Section L of the solicitation. Failure to provide all necessary information may result in a proposal being rejected or not receiving full consideration since the Government reserves the right to award a contract based upon initial proposals and without negotiations.
As stated in Section M of this solicitation, the Government intends to award a maximum of seven contracts, but reserves the right to adjust the number of contract awards or make no award at all.
The Government intends to make multiple awards of this tower multiple-award construction contracts for one base year with four one-year option periods.
