COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

(i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation No. 19GE5026Q0111 is issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the Design-Build Construction of a warehouse at the U.S. Embassy Kolonia, Federated States of Micronesia.

This acquisition is not set aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.

Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS): Not Applicable.

(ii) Line Items

Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs), quantities, units of measure, and any options are provided in Attachment 2 – Schedule (Sections B through J).

(iii) Description of Requirement

The contractor shall furnish all supervision, labor, materials, equipment, transportation, permits, and incidentals necessary to design and construct a warehouse, as fully described in the Statement of Work, specifications, drawings, and other technical documents included with this solicitation.

This acquisition uses a two-phase advisory down select quotation process intended to reduce quotation preparation costs for both industry and the

Government. During Phase One, quoters will submit concise technical information and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price to enable the

Government to determine whether a quoter appears to have a reasonable likelihood of being competitive for award. Following this assessment, the

Government will advise quoters whether it recommends proceeding to Phase

Two. Such recommendation is advisory only; any quoter from Phase One may submit a Phase Two quotation regardless of the Government's recommendation.

The Government will perform a comparative best-value evaluation using complete Phase Two quotations.

Quoters are advised that participation in Phase One does not guarantee award in

Phase Two or imply inclusion in any “shortlist” or “select list,” as no such list is created under this acquisition.

Phase Two constitutes the submission of complete quotations for the purpose of conducting a comparative best-value evaluation in accordance with the solicitation’s evaluation criteria. Award will be made only after evaluation of

Phase Two quotations. The Phase One advisory process does not form part of the final evaluation other than as a procedural step to manage quotation effort.
