The minimum ordering limitation per task order will be $500. The maximum ordering limitation of each contract is up to $10 million per year. This negotiated procurement will be accomplished by using source selection procedures with a two phase process. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded to the contractors offering the best value to the Government. Technical ability is significantly more important than price. The Government may or may not hold discussions on technical proposals (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)) therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government is not limited to contacting only those references provided by the offeror. The Government may also consider the offeror's performance on contracts not submitted by the offeror that the Government is aware of, or becomes aware of. Phase I selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance: Factor 1 - Experience and past performance of the prime contractor and key subcontractors on similar projects, Factor 2 - Qualifications and past experience of key personnel. Key personnel will need to demonstrate a working knowledge and understanding of IDIQ contracts. On occasion small businesses have been unable to field the necessary trades and craftsmen to handle multiple projects in a number of different buildings simultaneously. For this reason it is a requirement of this solicitation that prospective contractors submit with their proposals a separate and detailed plan as to how they would staff their organization in order to meet these commonplace surges in work requiring multiple projects to be executed simultaneously in different buildings and locations. Phase II selection criteria will be Management Approach, including Capacity, Scheduling, and Planning. Offerors will not be reimbursed for Phase I or Phase II proposal submittal expenses. The Government furnished line item listing in this contract will be the primary ordering source. If the awarded contractor refuses to accept work for any line item included in a delivery order issued under this IDIQ contract the government will deem this to be a material breach of the contract and may terminate the contract for cause, without additional expense to the government. Any documents related to this procurement will be available via the Internet only. No hard copies will be available. Contractors are responsible for downloading their own copy of all documents. These documents will be in .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format and will be available at www.fedbizopps.gov on or about June 7, 2007. It is the contractor's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any information or documents in the special notices, the solicitation and amendments, if any. Contractors can also register to be notified by e-mail of new postings including synopsis, solicitations, and amendments at the site. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. I encourage contractors to periodically check the site; it is the contractor's responsibility to make sure you have all of the documents related to the procurement. This procurement is being made under the Small Business Demonstration Program. GS-07P-07-HHD-0096 General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 7
