COMPETITION DESCRIPTION: A sources sought notice was posted on 16 April 2021 on Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) to conduct market research.

Activity Small Business Office concurs with this determination.

PROJECT/REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION: The North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) is 236220 and the annual size standard is $36.5 million.

This procurement is to provide for new construction, renovation, alteration, demolition, and repair work by design-build or design-bid-build for facilities. The work will primarily be performed within the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Northwest Area of Responsibility (AOR) including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyoming. It is anticipated that most of the work will occur in Washington State; however, projects could be located anywhere in the United States.

Types of projects include, but are not limited to administrative and industrial facilities, housing renovation, child care centers, lodges, recreation/fitness centers, retail complexes, warehouses, housing offices, community centers, commercial and institutional buildings, manufacturing and industrial buildings and other similar facilities.

The procurement consists of one solicitation with the intent to award approximately eight (approximately 4 large business & 4 small business) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contracts to the responsible Offerors whose proposals, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the best value, price and technical factors considered.

CONTRACT DESCRIPTION:

This procurement will result in the award of a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Multiple Award IDIQ contract with no pre-established fixed contract prices. The actual amount of work to be performed and the time of such performance will be determined by the Contracting Officer or his/her properly authorized representative, who will issue written task orders to the contractor(s). Award of task orders will be on a FFP basis.

After award of the initial contracts, each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order, except under those circumstances described in the contract. The basic contract period will be for 36 months. Each contract contains one 60-month option for a total maximum duration of 96 months or an aggregate value of $1 billion for all contracts awarded, whichever occurs first. The task order range for this contract is between $10,000,000 and $100,000,000. The government guarantees an award amount of $5,000 to each contract awarded as a result of this solicitation over the full term of the contract.

The seed project will serve as the basis for price competition to evaluate offers on this MACC. Project P263, a design-bid-build construction of the Aircraft Fleet Readiness Squadron Training Facility is planned as the seed project.

One or more of the items under this acquisition is/are subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements.

AWARD INFORMATION:

Phase I of the solicitation is in accordance with FAR Part 36.3. The Phase I non-price proposal will address the Offeror's technical approach to team composition and management, experience, past performance, and safety. The Phase I evaluation will result in a determination of the most highly qualified Offerors. Approximately 12 of the highest rated offerors will be selected to submit Phase II Proposals. However, the SSA may, in his judgment, expand this number if there is no technical basis for distinguishing between lower ranked offerors.

Phase II of the solicitation will be comprised of a technical and price proposal, which will be evaluated separately in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Phase II technical proposal will address the Offeror's technical solution to Proposed Task Order (PTO) 0001 and will include the Offeror's price for PTO 0001.

AWARD INFORMATION: The solicitation process will consist of Factor 1: Technical Approach, Factor 2: Experience, and Factor 3: Past Performance Factor 4: Safety, Factor 5: Small Business Utilization, Factor 6: Technical Solution, and Price.

Phase I shall consist of Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4. Factor 1 (Technical Approach) will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor 1, they will not be invited to participate in Phase II. Factors 2 and 4 are of equal importance to each other and when combined are equal to the past performance confidence assessment Factor 3 (Past Performance).

Phase II shall consist of Factor 5 (Small Business Utilization), Factor 6 (Technical Solution), and Price. In making the best value award decision in Phase II, Factors 2 through 6 and Price will be considered. The technical factors (2, 4, 5, and 6) are of equal importance to each other and when combined, are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 3, Past Performance). The combined non-price factors are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors' non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non- price proposal's superiority to the Government.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all proposers; to use tradeoff processes when it may be in the best interest of the Government; to consider award to other than the lowest priced proposer or other than the highest technically rated proposer; and award to the proposer submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous (best value) to the Government.

**Proposers should be advised:

THE GOVERNMENT FULLY INTENDS TO EVALUATE PROPOSALS AND AWARD THE CONTRACT WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS WITH OFFERORS. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms.

AWARD MAY BE MADE TO A FIRM OTHER THAN THAT SUBMITTING THE LOWEST PRICE.
