The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 9, is seeking information concerning the availability of capable contractors with the ability to perform under eight (8) separate Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for A/E design services for multiple disciplines. One (1) AE IDIQ for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering requirements and one (1) AE IDIQ for General Design (GD) requirements may be required for each of the following four (4) stations for a total of eight (8) AE IDIQs, VISN 9 VA Medical Centers:

2. Memphis VA Medical Center – Memphis, Tennessee;

* Lexington VA Medical Center and TVHS both have two medical centers associated with each entity. Therefore, the two (2) anticipated AE IDIQ awards for Lexington VA Medical Center and two (2) AE IDIQs for TVHS will apply to two (2) stations.

No AE firm will be allowed to submit more than one GD and one MEP design in total, and must be at different facilities. (ie: one (1) GD at Memphis and one (1) MEP at Mt Home).

This Request for Information (RFI) shall not be construed as a formal solicitation or as an obligation in the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Information provided to the Government as a result of this posting is strictly voluntary and given with no expectation of compensation and provided at no cost to the Government. The VA is interested only in identifying interested and capable contractors for this service as part of our market research effort.

The anticipated AE IDIQ, when solicited, will be procured in accordance with the Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C § 11 (2015), as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate competence and qualifications for all of the required work elements.

CONTRACT PERIOD: Each anticipated AE IDIQ will be for one year from the date of award with options to extend the term of the contract for four (4) additional one-year periods that may be exercised at the discretion of the Government or until the maximum contract award amount is reached. Negotiations will be conducted for hourly rates for each discipline required, overhead, profit and other cost elements, which are particular to the contract, and prior to each anticipated AE IDIQ award. For each requirement that is subsequent to each anticipated AE IDIQ award, the VA will issue a request for A/E fee proposal to the successful awardee at the applicable medical center. The VA has the sole discretion to determine whether a requirement is a GD or a MEP requirement. Based on that determination, the VA will issue the request for fee proposal to the appropriate firm that will include a scope of work for that requirement. The fee proposal shall be based on pre-negotiated unit prices. Each specific TO shall be negotiated based on the A/E effort involved. VA reserves the right to make task order awards.
