This procurement is for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Job Order Contract (JOC) and is being advertised as a 100% Section 8(a) Small Business set-aside. This procurement will utilize the best value source selection process with the intent to award one (1) contract to one (1) responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the best value, price and other factors considered. This is an IDIQ JOC contract with pre-established fixed contract prices. The actual amount of work to be performed and the time of such performance will be determined by the Contracting Officer or their properly authorized representative, who will issue written task orders to the contractor. Award of task orders will be on a firm fixed price basis. Projects will be primarily design-bid-build (fully designed) task orders or task orders with minimal design effort (e.g. shop drawings). Projects may include, but are not limited to, alterations, repairs, and construction of PLUMBING, HEATING, AND AIR CONDITIONING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. The work to be acquired under this solicitation is for construction, supervision, equipment, material, labor, and all means necessary for new construction, alterations, repair, and replacement of plumbing, heating, and air conditioning projects at various government facilities within the NAVFAC SW Facilities Engineering Acquisition Divisions (FEAD) Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), California, Area of Responsibility and other locations as approved.

The estimated maximum dollar value, including the base year and option period, is $40,000,000. The only work authorized under this contract is work ordered by the government through issuance of a task order. Task orders will range between $2,000 and $1,000,000. Task orders may fall below or above this limit; however, contractors are not obligated to accept such task orders under the general terms of the contract. The government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum of $5,000 is guaranteed to be ordered from the awardee, under the performance period of the contract. The contractor is not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract without discussions. Selection for award will be based on evaluation of the following: Factor 1 – Ability to Manage Multiple Simultaneous Projects, Factor 2 – Experience, Factor 3 – Past Performance, Factor 4 – Safety, Factor 5 – Price (based on Proposed Task Order 0001). Best Value Tradeoff Source Selection procedures will be used, and award may be made to the Offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous and offers the best value to the government, price and other factors considered.
