Dear Prospective Offerors:

The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development Mission in Vietnam (USAID/Vietnam), is seeking Phase One proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing the services as described in this solicitation. This acquisition for construction is being procured in accordance with Federal Acquisition Reguation Subpart 36.3 -- Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures.

Phase One will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 36.303-1 -- Phase One.

Phase Two will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 36.303-2 -- Phase Two.

USAID/Vietnam anticipates awarding one firm-fixed-price contract. For Phase Two, the U.S. Government may award this contract without discussions.

The order of magnitude of the resultant contract is between $10 to $20 million for the anticipated period of performance of approximately 3 years.

Prime Offerors under this RFP must be registered under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 237990 -- Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. In addition, Offerors must be eligible in accordance with the authorized geographic code for this procurement which is 937.

A site walk and pre-proposal conference will be scheduled among Offerors who are selected to move to Phase Two. The site walk will be at the Bien Hoa Airbase, Vietnam and the conference may be held either in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Detailed information will be given at a later date to those eligible for the site walk. In order to submit a Phase Two proposal, an offeror must attend both the site walk and the conference.

Questions regarding this request must be submitted via e-mail to the points of contact identified in Section L no later than the date and time for questions stated above. Unless otherwise notified by an amendment to this RFP, USAID will not answer questions after the deadline or by phone. Offerors must not submit questions to any other USAID staff. All questions submitted and answers to all questions will be provided in writing through an amendment to the RFP which will be publicly posted on www.fbo.gov.

Issuance of this solicitation in no way obligates USAID to award a contract, nor does it commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. USAID reserves the right to reject any and all offers received. Award of a contract under this RFP is subject to availability of funds and other internal USAID approvals. Final award of any resultant contract cannot be made until funds have been fully appropriated, allocated, and committed through USAID's internal procedures. USAID bears no responsibility for data errors resulting from transmission or conversion processes.

Sincerely,
