Nationwide 3D Laser Scanning Services
Added: May 08, 2009 6:39 pm The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) Contracting and Facilities Division (PGE) is seeking contractors to provide Nationwide Laser Scanning and Related Professional Services. The Government intends to award five National Indefinite Delivery - Indefinite Quality (IDIQ) contracts pursuant to procedures established by the Brooks Act and FAR Subpart 36.6, with a base year and four 1-year options, for a total of five (5) years. Of the five potential awards, up to tee awards will be awarded to Unrestricted Businesses and up to tee awards will be 100% Set-Aside for Small Businesses. Each contract, whether Unrestricted or Small Business ventures would require numerous specialty consultants and subcontractors. The contracts would be nationwide in geographic scope (i.e. all States and US Territories). The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards. Market Analysis. A Sources Sought Notice (GS-00P-09-CY-0076) was published in FedBizOpps on February 4, 2009, inviting contractors to participate in a market analysis to determine the capability and availability of small business firms to provide nationwide Laser Scanning Services for the Public Buildings Service (PBS). A total of 32 firms responded by the closing date of February 19, 2009. As a result, it has been determined that this requirement can be partially set-aside for small businesses. Background. In July 2003, the General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Office of the Chief Architect and Construction Programs (OCA-CP) established the National 3D-4D-BIM Program. To date, OCA-CP has initiated over 70+ capital projects across the nation using an array of 3D, 4D, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies in support of GSA business needs. BIM visualization, coordination, simulation, and optimization from tee-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and BIM computer technologies serve GSA in meeting customer design, construction, and program requirements. GSA is committed to a strategic and incremental implementation of 3D, 4D, BIM technologies. Further information on GSAs BIM Program can be found at www.gsa.gov/bim.
