GSA PBS Region 7 Acquisition Management Division is the office soliciting and will administer the resulting contracts.
This procurement will be issued for full and open competition and will result in six (6) multiple-award IDIQ contracts.

Each awardee will be guaranteed a minimum of $1,000 for the base year only. The maximum ordering limitation of each IDIQ contract is $125 million per IDIQ contract.

Location of the Work:
The place of performance is the contiguous United Stated (CONUS). (CONUS includes the connected 48 states plus the District of Columbia; it does not include Alaska, Hawaii, or any U.S. territory.)

Description of Scope of Services:
The multiple-award IDIQ contracts are to provide construction and DB services to support SPD in accomplishing their mission. A majority of SPD customer programs are on a national level resulting in similar or identical projects at locations in states across the nation. Many of these projects are located at Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) along the Northern and Southern borders of the US which have extreme environments; can be in remote locations; and, are unique sites that differ from typical business/office buildings.

Procedures for Award:
The source selection process for this solicitation will neither be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) nor Tradeoffs. Within the best value continuum, FAR 15.101 defines best value as using any one or a combination of source selection approaches. For the base IDIQ contracts, the Highest Technically Rated Offerors with a Fair and Reasonable Price will determine the best value basis for contract awards. GSA will issue six (6) IDIQ contracts. This procurement will not involve tradeoffs. The Highest Technically Rated, Fair and Reasonable Price approach will best achieve the objective of awarding IDIQ contracts to offerors with the construction/DB expertise most important to SPD and its customer agencies.
