- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: These contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. Interested parties must submit an expression of interest in accordance with the instructions in this Synopsis: This announcement will result in three (3) contracts to highly qualified small business firms only. One (1) of these contracts will be a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and the remaining two (2) will be small business contracts. It is the intent of the Government to initially award three (3) contracts from the small business set-aside with one (1) contract from the service disabled veteran owned set-aside (SDVOSB). However, if there are no highly qualified SDVOSB set-aside firms the award will be made from the highly qualified small business firms. All firms responding to this announcement MUST identify in which category they are submitting. All firms must state the words (Small Business) or (Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) after the solicitation number in PART I, A. Block 3 of form SF 330. A separate response (SF330) MUST be submitted for each category in which the firm wants consideration. Firms may be considered in both set asides, however, no one firm will receive more than one award as a result of this solicitation. Only firms considered highly qualified will be awarded a contract. The contract will be an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract for a period of one year from date of award, with options to extend for four additional years; not to exceed a total of five years. While the estimated dollar amount per year is $660,000.00, the actual obligation per year may be greater than or less than the $660,000.00. Maximum order limit is $3,300,000.00 for the life of the contract, including options. The Jacksonville District's area of responsibility includes Florida, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Antilles. The primary purpose of this proposed contract is to provide services for projects located within Florida. Secondarily, the contract may be used to provide services within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Antilles, and outside of the geographic boundaries of the Jacksonville District. The contractor will have the right to refuse orders for services to be performed outside of Florida or the geographic boundaries of the Jacksonville District. Criteria used in allocating task orders among contracts include performance and quality of deliverables under current task orders, current capacity to accomplish the order in the required time, specialized experience, equitable distribution of the work among the contractors, and other relevant factors. Firms submitting responses to this solicitation will be required to meet the performance of work requirements as stated in FAR 52.219-27 Notice of Set-Aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business Concerns and/or FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting. Firms under consideration for award that fail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the performance of work requirements will be referred to SBA for a Certificate of Competency. Firms must adhere to legal requirements for conducting business in the State of Florida. 2.
