The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Acquisition and Asset Management Division (AAMD), Procurement Branch, seeks information concerning Architect-Engineer (A-E) firms interested in competing for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) performing multi-disciplined A-E services for APHIS, though other agencies within USDA may write task orders against resultant contract(s). The services would cover a wide range of nationwide A-E services including Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Structural work for the preparation of contract drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and possible associated services such as: LEED design, NEPA documentation and environmental assessments, designer of record services, commissioning, value engineering, design (peer) review, master planning, facility inspection for deficiencies, obtaining various required permits, construction management, geotechnical investigations, surveying, and performing Construction Inspection Contractor (CIC) services. CIC services may or may not be related to work designed by said firm if and when used. Projects would cover a variety of building types nationwide, such as laboratories, animal and plant inspection stations, quarantine stations, bio-containment facilities, utility buildings, incinerators, fumigation hoods, compressed gas facilities, water and sewer mains, and water treatment facilities. Major facilities are located across the USA. The NAICS code is 541330. The small business size standard is $15 million. APHIS contemplates that the resultant contract(s) would have a base period not to exceed one year with four, one-year option periods, an annual contract value of $3 million, and a total IQC value of $15 million. Firm fixed-price task orders would be negotiated and awarded for each requirement against the contract.

The APHIS, AAMD Procurement Branch is interested only in identifying interested and capable small-business contractors and receiving industry feedback to improve the acquisition process as part of the market research. Small Business (SB) Set-Aside Determination: The APHIS, AAMD Procurement Branch reserves the right to determine if a SB set-aside is appropriate as well as one of the targeted socio-economic programs (HUBZone, SDVO, or 8(a) program) based on responses to this notice and other pertinent information gathered by the contracting officer.
