The total capacity of the four (4) contracts is $50M. This capacity will be shared among all firms. The Government may award more than two contracts?within each business category (i.e. Small Business or Other than Small Business) depending on the source selection decision regarding how many firms are considered the most highly qualified?per?the?2014 Selection of A&E Contracts Act?selection procedures. Each IDIQ will be for a five (5) year ordering period from the date of award of all contracts.?� Guidelines for competition of task orders:�� Non-Complex A-E task order requirements with a Programmed Amount (PA) less than $3M must be set-aside for competition among the reserved Small Business Firms Non-Complex A-E task order requirements with a Programmed Amount (PA) above $3M may be competed among all IDIQs Complex A-E task order requirements with a Programmed Amount (PA) less than $3M� may be competed among all IDIQs Complex A-E task order requirements with a Programmed Amount (PA) above $3M may be reserved to the Unrestricted IDIQ The following definitions apply to the Vertical Requirements: Complex work is defined as projects that involve multiple concurrent disciplines or considers unique design solutions considering size and scope as determine by the Government. Examples: SCIF, Hangars, Major Building Renovations. Non-complex work is defined as work that involves limited disciplines or design solutions that are not considered unique. Examples: Administrative facilities and maintenance facilities (non-Hangars). All firms responding to the announcement will be required to identify which category they are submitting.?All firms will be required to state the words, ""Small Business"", or ""Other than Small Business"" after the solicitation number in PART?I, A, Block 3 of Standard Form 330. Firms will be required to submit a separate SF 330 for each category in which the firm wants consideration. No one firm will receive more than one award as a result of this solicitation.??� The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this action is?541330.??The Small Business size standard is?$16.5M in average annual receipts of a business�s latest three fiscal years.?Small businesses are encouraged to team with other businesses. These are not requirements contracts.? The contract will consist of two (2) ordering periods; one (1) ordering period will be for five (5) years and one (1)?optional?ordering period for six (6) months with a total contract ceiling of?$50M?for the entire program.?The total contract period shall not exceed five (5) calendar years and?an option to extend?six (6)?additional?months.?Task orders will be primarily for?projects with a construction value typically between?$25K?and $35M, however, as required, larger and/or smaller projects may be executed.?The minimum total fee guaranteed to each contract awardee is $2,500.00. Order limitations are as follows:?The Contractor is not obligated to honor (1) any order for a single item?above $7M or (2) any order for a combination of items?over?$9M.?Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. Projects to be designed?are not yet determined and funds (except those reserved for the minimum fee guarantee) are not presently available.?The selection of A-E firms is based on professional qualifications necessary for the performance of the required services (rather than competitive bidding procedures). All A-E firms are cautioned to review the restrictions of FAR 9.5 Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest and FAR 36.209 Construction Contracts with Architect-Engineer Firms. Any A-E firm that prepares a Design-Build Request for Proposal for a particular project will be restricted from participating in any contract or task order for the Design-Build of that particular project. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that,?under?the provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient performance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged firms. Large business firms that intend to pursue an IDIQ contract must convey their intent to meet the minimum small business goals on the SF330, Section C, by identifying subcontracting opportunities with small businesses.?Minimum goals for this procurement are: Small Business (all types of small business combined) 14%;?Small Disadvantaged Businesses?3%;?Woman Owned Small Business 5%;?HUBZone?Small Business 1%;?Veteran-Owned SB 3%?and?Service Disabled Veteran Owned SB 3%. Small Business firms that are selected under the Small Business set aside must perform 50 percent of the contract performance by the prime or a similarly situated Small Business subcontractor in accordance with Deviation 2020-O0008.??� If selected as the most highly qualified firm, the large business?offeror?will be required to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan?following?FAR 52.219-9 and DFARS 219.704/705 as a part of the Request for Proposal Package (RFPP). The subcontracting plan is NOT required with the SF 330 submittal. The wages and benefits of service employees (FAR 22.10) performing under this contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act.?�The subcontracting plan will be based on subcontracting dollars. This is a multiple award effort with the most-highly qualified firm in the Small Business group and the most-highly qualified firm in the Unrestricted group receiving their RFPPs first.� Once that process is complete, the next most highly qualified firm will be provided their RFPP and so on. In accordance with 40 USC 11, Selection of Architect and Engineers, the negotiation process will continue until an agreement is reached and all contracts are awarded.
