Niagara Falls ARS SABER Construction IDIQ 2014-2019

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command awarded a Master IDIQ for Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) construction at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station on September 29, 2014, with an $8 million shared ceiling; ordering closed on September 28, 2019, and the vehicle is no longer active.

All 10 task orders issued under the vehicle were obligated by March 7, 2016, exhausting the $1.8 million combined potential value in full. Peak ordering activity occurred in 2015, when seven orders were placed for facility repairs, renovations, and minor modifications including overhead door repairs basewide, building demolition, indoor firing range modifications, and equipment installations. The single 2016 order covered building renovation. Competitive 8(a) was the sole set-aside designation across all task orders.

Strock Enterprises LTD. captured eight orders valued at $1.3 million combined potential value, establishing dominant competitive concentration. Oddo Construction Services, LLC received the remaining two orders valued at $510 thousand combined potential value. All task orders funded Air Force Reserve Command requirements.

Task orders were firm fixed price, ranging from $29,971 to $577,505 in individual ceiling value, with performance periods of approximately three to twelve months. Work performed at Niagara Falls ARS included renovation of Building 700 for EOD operations ($577,505), repair of Building 850 ($471,089), renovation of Building 600 for logistics disassociation ($241,925), and repair of Building 907 for maintenance disassociation ($210,311). One task order experienced a GAO protest after award, resulting in a modification to re-establish performance dates and add funding for reference materials and software as required by the statement of work.

With the ordering period closed for over six years and all vehicle value obligated, this IDIQ is not a pursuit opportunity for new work. The vehicle demonstrates how Air Force Reserve executed a narrow, base-specific construction vehicle to completion with minimal prime competition.

Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station has awarded a Master IDIQ for Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) at Niagara Falls ARS, NY. The vehciles main purpose is to provide a streamlined means to complete minor, non-complex construction projects that require minimum design.
