Description

The U.S. Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) is seeking proposals to pre-qualify 8(a) firms for design-build projects at DOS Foreign Service posts worldwide. Competition is restricted to eligible participants in the SBA?s 8(a) program. The DOS anticipates award of up to four IDIQ contracts under which each firm will compete through a competitive proposal process for individual task orders. The maximum of each task order is $7 million. The maximum cumulative amount of the task orders issued under each contract in a single year is $20 million. The IDIQ contracts will be issued for one base year and will include four one-year option periods that may be exercised by the Government. Each contract will have a ceiling of $100 million for the base and all option years combined and a guaranteed minimum of $40,000 over the life of the contract. The Government reserves the right to make award of individual task orders estimated to be less than $3 million on a sole source basis to one of the contract awardees. The award of individual task orders estimated to be greater than $3 million but less than or equal to $7 million will be competed between the firms chosen for award of the IDIQ contracts and selection will be based upon price and other factors stated in each request for task order proposal. The competed task order awards will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Although the IDIQ contracts will provide labor hour pricing for evaluation purposes, the task orders will be firm-fixed price. The labor hour rates stated in the contract will be considered maximums. At task order proposal time, offerors may propose a rate for a required labor category that is less than that listed in the contract, but the contract rates shall not be exceeded. A specific period of performance will be established for each task order. The scope of work (SOW) for task orders will include design-build construction services to provide new construction and/or renovation of existing buildings, facilities, structures, and building systems.
