- Description
- Additional NAICS Code: 541330 -- Engineering Services Synopsis: The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of Defense's (DoD) demonstration and validation program for environmental technologies. The ESTCP Office is interested in receiving pre-proposals for innovative environmental technology demonstrations that address DoD requirements as candidates for funding. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ESTCP's intent to competitively fund demonstration projects as described in the Program Announcement on the ESTCP web site. The Program Announcement which includes one specific topic and complete submittal instructions is found at: www.serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/ESTCP-Solicitations No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards will take the form of contracts. Submission of proposals is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. The Government will not pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals, travel to present oral presentations in support of the proposals, nor initial preparation and submission of a project plan. To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a pre-proposal in accordance with the Instructions on the web site, no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday, April 1, 2014. No electronic mail or faxed proposals will be accepted. Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The pre-proposal review step allows interested organizations to submit technology demonstrations for Government consideration without incurring the expense of a full proposal. Based upon the pre-proposal evaluation by ESTCP, each of the pre-proposal submitters will be notified as to whether ESTCP requests or does not request the submission of a full proposal. Due to the anticipated volume of pre-proposals that will be received, ESTCP will not provide debriefs to those that are not requested to submit a full proposal. Accounting and Audit Requirements for Government Contracts: ESTCP projects are generally awarded as cost reimbursement type contracts. Prior to any resultant award, a contractor must have an approved accounting system and an accepted up-to-date government audit. Details on these requirements can be found at the websites for Defense Contract Audit Agency (www.dcaa.mil) and Defense Contract Management Agency (www.dcma.mil). Universities and Non-Profit Organizations must meet standards designated by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) utilizing the cognizant federal agency for cost allocation/indirect cost rate agreements. In some cases, if the work is appropriate to a firm-fixed-price contract and requirements for a cost-type contract cannot be fulfilled, successful offerors will be given the opportunity to enter into a firm-fixed-price contract. Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award. There is no commitment by ESTCP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any cost incurred by the offeror before contract award is made for a demonstration. Multiple awards may be made in response to this BAA. It is expected that multiple awards totaling approximately $1 million will result, depending on availability of funds. Small business participation is strongly encouraged as the government goal is that small business, historically black colleges, universities and minority institutions participation represent five (5) percent of the total contract award value. If a full proposal is requested and the proposed budget is $650,000 or more, a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) must accompany the full proposal, whether it is submitted by a large or small business vendor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes are 541712 and 541330 with the small business size standard of 500 employees and $14.0M respectively. Prior to award, selected contract proposals that exceed $650,000 submitted by other than small business concerns must be accompanied by a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The HECSA Small Business Office web site at; http://www.usace.army.mil/HECSA/HECSASmallBusiness.aspx provides information on how to prepare a subcontracting plan, along with links to find small businesses to participate.
