A sources sought notice for this requirement was posted under solicitation N69450-20-R-WAOR on April 17, 2020 requesting small business industry interest and capability statement. Based on responses from the notice, it was determined that the requirement should be issued as a total small business set-aside. The NAVFAC SE Small Business Office concurs with this determination. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued as a total small business set-aside. All responsible small businesses with the specialized experience and qualifications required by the solicitation may submit a proposal to be considered by the agency. The NAICS code for this IDIQ MACC solicitation is 236220 with a size standard of $39,500,000. This solicitation will result in the award of one MACC with approximately (7) Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build IDIQ construction contracts, unless a number more than seven (7) is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. The total aggregate value for all contracts to be awarded from any resultant solicitation is $249,000,000 maximum over a five (5) year ordering period. There is no yearly or per contractor limit except for the total five (5) year maximum. Task orders will be firm-fixed-priced, normally in the range of $4,000,000 to $20,000,000 per order. However, task orders under or over these amounts may be considered if deemed to be in the Government’s best interest. Construction projects to be performed will primarily consist of general building type projects (new construction, renovation, alteration, demolition, and repair work) including but not limited to: 1) aviation and aircraft facilities, 2) marine facilities, 3) barracks and personnel housing facilities, 4) administrative facilities, 5) warehouses and supply facilities, 6) training facilities, 7) personnel support and service facilities, 8) security level facilities, 9) abatement and handling of hazardous/regulated materials (including and not limited to asbestos, lead paint, mold remediation, and PCB’s). Projects will require either single discipline or multi-discipline design services or may include 100% construction performance specifications. The work will be performed but is not limited to the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. Work may be required in other locations in the area of responsibility of NAVFAC SE if deemed necessary and approved by the NAVFAC SE Chief of Contracting Office. The source selection method to be used is a best value continuum process in a negotiated two-phase acquisition utilizing the trade-off approach. Formal two-phase source selection will be used to select the proposals that provide the best value to the Government from a technical and price standpoint. In accordance with FAR Subparts 15.1 and 15.3, a trade-off approach to source selection will be used for this solicitation with respect to the initial award. Offerors selected to proceed to Phase-Two will be required to submit a technical and price proposal for a seed project.
