- Description
- DESIGN, INTEGRATION, CONSTRUCTION, COMMUNICATIONS AND ENGINEERING SERVICES (DICCE), DE-RP52-06NA26990. Proposal Disallowed Reason: This is a sources sought announcement NOT a request for proposals. Description: The National Nuclear Security Administration???s Second Line of Defense (SLD) Program, which is overseen by the Office of International Materials Protection and Emergency Cooperation (NA-25), is seeking to identify qualified vendors for Design, Integration, Construction, Communications, and Engineering Services (DICCE). These DICCE services include installation of radiation detection and communication equipment at international land border crossings, airports & seaports. Related experience working and contracting in overseas locations is required. All work requires written agreements with the host Government. Because agreements and future funding levels are not assured, it is difficult to accurately estimate the ultimate magnitude of the work. However, SLD expects that the DICCE services contractor will have to potentially support the installation of radiation detectors and communication equipment in over 30 mega-ports and up to two hundred transit locations in over 30 foreign countries over the next five years. DICCE services may be required in up to ten countries concurrently with each location at a different stage in the implementation. The level of effort and type of services may vary in each location. The program is considering several strategies for this work, including awarding separate contracts in functional areas of construction, communications, and maintenance work. However, the program is also considering combining all requirements into one Statement of Work. Multiple awards may be made under either scenario. If multiple awards are made, the program may elect to award individual task orders based upon a competitive award among the awardees, regional expertise, and/or contractor resources and availability. In the event the program is able to obtain timely agreements in all planned locations and pursues a strategy that includes all services at each site, the rough order of magnitude for all work under this notice could be in the four to six hundred million dollar ($400 - $600M) range. The Government makes no commitment or assurance that either the full magnitude of work will ultimately be ordered or that any of the approaches mentioned here will be pursued or employed. Notices to Vendors: The SLD program is considering several strategies for this work, and therefore may pursue additional methods of identifying suitable approaches and qualified vendors for this work. All interested parties are strongly encouraged to keep watching this site and this action. All notices regarding this effort will be posted on DOE E-Center and on FedBizOpps.
