- Description
- I. Purpose:The purpose of the SIR is to seek competent and suitable sources for the subject project. Responses to the SIR shall be used to screen qualified companies. Screening information allows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine which offers are more likely to receive award, and ultimately, which offers will provide the FAA with the best value. The FAA has appointed an Integrated Product Team (IPT) which will evaluate each response received and make a selection of qualified offerors based on the evaluation criteria established in this SIR. The SIR evaluation process may involve face-to-face negotiations with one or more offerors. The intent of these negotiations is for the FAA evaluators, or IPT, to gain a better understanding of the proposed project and/or to clarify evaluation information submitted by the offeror. All offerors that are eliminated from the competition will be notified in writing. Written responses to this SIR are due by close of business (4:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time) on May 29, 2009. THIS ACQUISITION IS A TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. The assigned NAICS Code for this project is: 237310 - Bridge Approach Construction. The Small Business Administration's size standard for a small business under this NAICS Code is $33,500,000. If you have any questions concerning size standards, contact a Size Specialist at your nearest SBA Government Contracting Area Office, or contact the Office of Size Standards by email at sizestandards@sba.gov or by phone at (202) 205-6618.
