Sources are sought to provide Civil Engineering Support services in accordance with the following: On 15 December 98 it was announced under the direction of HQ/AFMC that the 66th Air Base Wing, Civil Engineering Support was to be the subject of an A-76 Cost Comparison Study. The Federal policy for the performance of recurring commercial activities was established in the 1983 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-76, "Performance of Commercial Activities". The intent of the program is to determine the most efficient and effective method of providing service. The study will determine whether commercial activities should be performed under contract with commercial sources, or in-house, using Government facilities and personnel. Based on this program, sources are sought for Hanscom's Civil Engineering Support for the Electronic Systems Center, 66th Air Base Wing, and various units assigned to Hanscom Air Force Base, MA. Any resultant solicitation may include the following, subject to change depending on varying mission requirements. Functions performed include: 1) Perform Command Section Management support; 2) Provide Engineering support; 3) Provide Resource Management support; 4) Provide Environmental Functional support; 5) Provide Housing Management support; 6) Provide Base Operations and Facility Maintenance Support, 7) Provide Contingency Support Services, including preparing and supporting the wing for operations during natural disasters, major accidents, war, and other base emergencies. These functions are integrated to provide complete Civil Engineering support to Hanscom's customers while focusing on quality filled practices. This requirement services Hanscom AFB, MA consisting of approximately 846 acres, plus geographically separated units. The duration of this contract, with all options, is anticipated to be five years. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notification or otherwise pay for any information or inquiry.
