- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT notice. The Government is seeking to identify qualified sources under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541330 (Engineering Services). This sources sought notice is for market research purposes only and IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A STANDARD FORM 330 nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in preparation of a response to this notice. The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville is seeking capability statements from firms interested in proposing on an Indefinite Delivery type service contract for Architect-Engineer (A-E) design and engineering support services in support of the Medical Division. Any contracts awarded are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6 and Engineering Pamphlet (EP) 715-1-7. The Medical Division programs provides quick response to repair/renewal situations relating to the architectural, mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, instrumentation, communications, security, safety, systems, and cost, as well as environmental and hazardous materials abatement areas of Government medical and other facilities. The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville anticipates award of up to six A-E indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs). The Government reserves the right to award more, less, or none at all. The Government anticipates multiple year contracts with an ordering period of one twelve-month base period and four twelve-month option periods. The total estimated programmatic value of this acquisition is $225M. The U.S. Army Engineering & Support Center, Huntsville intends to solicit and award multiple indefinite delivery contracts for architectural-engineering services for medically-related projects. It is the Government's intent to explore whether this acquisition should be reserved in whole, in part, or not at all for small business set-asides.
