The projects awarded will be valued under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (under $150,000) and will fall within one of the NAICS descriptions shown on this notice. The data file contains the of qualified, interested AE firms so that as approved projects are identified we are positioned to utilize the Short Selection process, as defined in FAR 36.602-5, to relatively quickly and efficiently obtain AE Services.

WHAT IS THE SHORT SELECTION PROCESS? For AE projects with an estimated value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, agencies may review current date files for eligible AE firms, perform a technical review and evaluation to determine the 3 most highly qualified firms, and have discussions with the 3 firms to determine the best qualified firm for that particular project. A price proposal will then be requested from the highest rated firm. If reasonable price cannot be negotiated, discussions will be held with the second best qualified firm, and so on. The data files will be maintained by State and NAICS code. The AE's ability to provide licensed professionals in the State where the project is located (FAR 36.602-1(a)(1) and the firm's geographic proximity and knowledge of the local area (FAR 36.602-1(a)(5)) as identified on the AE's SF330 and supplemental information, will be used for the first preliminary screening of firms when a large list of potential firms exist.
