THE INTENT OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS TO IDENTIFY QUALIFIED SMALL BUSINESSES, specifically 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, for the requirement described below. The intent of this Sources Sought is to identify capable small business that can perform with limitations on subcontracting. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all personnel, equipment, containers, tools, materials, supervision, vehicles and other items or services necessary to perform scrap removal, demilitarization (DEMIL) / mutilation (MUT) and de-manufacturing (DEMAN) operations including disposal and recycling. The Contractor shall meet the standards including disposal and recycling for property turned into the Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (DLA DS) sites and Forward Collection Sites (FCS) located in Guam. Other FCS may be designated after the contract award. These sites will be identified by the Contracting Officer (KO) and added to the contract through contract modification. FAR 52.52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (FEB 2023) CLASS DEVIATION 2021-O0008 states the Offeror/Contractor agrees to not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Contractors may be subject to a minimum $500,000 fine if awarded a contract with this clause and don’t meet the requirement. *The Government intends to solicit proposals on SAM.gov and award a Firm-Fixed Priced, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Services Contract. The contract is anticipated to have one 30-month base period, followed by one 30-month option period. There is no solicitation available at this time. However, this Sources Sought should use to help determine if they would be able to meet the Limitations on Subcontracting requirements. IF YOUR FIRM IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE REQUESTED SERVICES, WITHOUT THE LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING, THE CAPABILITIES PACKAGE DETAILED BELOW IS NOT REQUIRED. In accordance with FAR 6.101(a), with certain limited exceptions, contracting officers shall promote and provide for full and open competition in soliciting offers and awarding Government contracts. If your firm would like to respond to this Sources Sought, but is unable to meet the limitations on subcontracting, please email Bradley.Moehlig@dla.mil and Michael.Mamaty@dla.mil with “Sources Sought Guam Scrap” in the subject line, stating your firm’s Notification of Interest (a capabilities package is not required). SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Interested firms must demonstrate their ability to perform the requested services, described above, by submitting a brief capabilities package (no more than three pages in length, single-spaced, 12-point font minimum). This documentation shall identify, at a minimum: (1) Company name, office location(s), CAGE Code, and a statement identifying small business category and current status of the small business classification; (2) Relevant experience within the last five years, including any contract number(s), names of individuals responsible for the referenced contracts/projects, and current telephone numbers for those individuals; if you were a subcontractor, identify the work you actually performed as the sub-contractor; and (3) A statement identifying your firm’s ability to perform in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (CLASS DEVIATION 2021-O0008), as well as an explanation of how you would be able to comply with this requirement if you are a small business of any type considering the disposal requirements within the draft price schedule that is anticipated to be included in the contract; (note: large business respondents do not need to address this). Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition is in the Government's best interest. If an unrestricted solicitation is issued, then the Class Deviation 2021-O0008 Limitations on Subcontracting would not apply. All responsible firms, including small businesses, are eligible to submit a proposal in response to an unrestricted solicitation. A response to this Sources Sought will not be considered an adequate response to any forthcoming solicitation announcement. The Government WILL NOT provide a debriefing on the results of the survey. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this Sources Sought notice or any follow-up information requests. All information submitted will be held in a confidential manner and will only be used for the purpose intended.
