Potential Requirement: The Department of Interior (DOI), National Park Service (NPS), National Capitol Region (NCA) Region 1, has need to procure Construction, Renovation and Alteration Services for various future projects with a special emphasis on historic preservation and renovation. Based on the responses to this market survey, the government is considering soliciting and awarding a potential future Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract from a single solicitation to multiple vendors. Companies having capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to provide information to contribute to this market survey/sources sought notice. Due to the historic nature of the various requirements for construction and construction related projects and services as well as the physical differences in the various parks and sites found within the National Capitol Region, the Government has determined that an ID/IQ contract awarded to multiple contractors is the best contract for this type of procurement. The ID/IQ contract is designed to provide the Government the best value for procuring Construction services to be ordered as needed but cannot be reasonably determined in advance by the Government. The choice and purpose of using this type of contract is to allow the Government to use a streamlined competitive procurement process that will allow future follow-on projects for Construction Services to be done on the Task Order level. The duration term of a potential IDIQ contract will be a one (1) year base and one (1) option year and the estimated value of the entire contract of base year and option year combined is $49,900,000.00. The base IDIQ contract will not include any pre-negotiated line-item pricing for the duration of the contract and follow-on Task Orders will be priced individually according to project specifications. Two potential seed projects may be included in a potential base award IDIQ solicitation and would be awarded as the potential first Task Orders off the base year contract. All potential awarded IDIQ contract holders will be required to submit offers on the initial IDIQ individual Task Order seed projects and all subsequent follow on projects issued as a Task Order Request for Proposals for Base Year and Option Year I. After potential IDIQ contracts are awarded, Contract Officers and/or Contract Specialists from the National Park Service (NPS), National Capitol Region (NCA) would solicit and award task orders among the base IDIQ contract holders for specific projects on a competitive or noncompetitive basis in accordance with FAR 16.505. The estimated value of solicited projects/task orders will range from $3.500.00 up to 5,000,000.00. The NAICS code applicable to this proposed procurement is 236220 and the size standard is $39.5 million.
