THIS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES PRESOLICITATION NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). CONTRACTORS SHOULD NOT SUBMIT FORMAL PROPOSALS UNTIL THE RFP IS POSTED TO THIS WEBSITE.

1. Set-Aside Information: This acquisition is a 100% Set Aside for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

a. Prospective Contractors are cautioned that a proposal submitted in response to this solicitation must meet the criteria identified in VAAR Clause 852.219-73, VA NOTICE OF TOTAL SET-ASIDE FOR CERTIFIED SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES (JAN 2023) (DEVIATION).

b. Prospective Contractors must comply with VAAR Clause 852.219-75 VA NOTICE OF LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING—CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION (JAN 2023) (DEVIATION). In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219-73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219-74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDBOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 75% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

c. For an SDVOSB to be considered as a prospective contractor, the firm must be certified and listed in the SBA certification database (search.certifications.sba.gov) and registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (sam.gov) at time of submission of their qualification. A joint venture may be considered eligible as an SDVOSB if the joint venture complies with the requirements in 13 CFR 128.402 and the managing joint venture partner makes the representations under 852.219-73(c). A joint venture agrees that, in the performance of the contract, the applicable percentage specified in paragraph 852.219-73(d) of the clause will be performed by the aggregate of the joint venture participants. Failure of a prospective SDVOSB to meet these certification requirements by the SBA shall result in elimination from consideration. The firm must also report to VETS-4212 Federal Contractor Reporting in accordance with FAR 52.222-37, Employment Reports on Veterans at dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/vets4212 if applicable.
