The Federal Supply Code is Y171, Construction of Facilities/Office Buildings. Under FAR guidelines, the prime contractor must have the capability to perform at least 20 percent of the contract work with its own employees. The Government will use responses to this SOURCES SOUGHT market survey to make appropriate acquisition decisions. A decision will be made to issue this solicitation as a competitive set-aside for 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, or HubZone Small Business contractors or to issue an unrestricted solicitation, inviting full and open competition. The proposed solicitation will be formatted as a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with requirements designated by sections of the FAR 15.203 and NFAS for a negotiated procurement utilizing the construction selection procedures of FAR 36. This method permits evaluation of proposals based on price competition, technical merits and other factors; permits impartial and comprehensive evaluation of offerors' proposals; permits discussions if necessary; and ensures selection of the source whose performance provides the best value to the Government.

The proposed sites for the new buildings are located in the existing Munitions Facilities Compound on the northeastern portion of the base. The site area is defined by an existing secured perimeter chain-link fence and includes munitions and equipment storage areas. The Munitions Administration/Mobility Storage Building combines administrative and storage functions. The Munitions Administration/Mobility Storage Building consists of approximately 6960 SF of administrative space and 8042 SF of high bay storage for a total of 15,002 SF gross building area. The new facility will be constructed utilizing a pre-engineered building structure with a 3:12 pitch metal roof and metal siding. A 4 ft height, split-face CMU wainscot will be provided around the administration portion of the new facility. The remainder of the exterior wall will consist of pre-engineered metal panels. Interior partitions in the administration area will be metal studs with gypsum board. Floors will be carpet in the offices and VCT in the corridors and break rooms. Restrooms and locker rooms will have ceramic tile floors. The storage bays consist of twelve bays (55 ft x 12 ft) for trailer storage and space for training functions. Demolition of Buildings 1800, 1801, and 1803 will be required before construction is started on the new building. Demolition of Buildings 1805 and 1807 will be deferred until construction is complete on the new building in order to phase the occupancy of the administration areas. The total demolition area is 5000 SF The Four-Bay Maintenance Facility contains approximately 3784 SF of administrative space and 5166 SF of munitions maintenance area consisting of four drive-through bays for a total of approximately 8950 SF.
