About this file
This document is a Consolidation Determination that provides the rationale for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City District to consolidate its Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Architect-Engineer (A-E) requirements into a single Small Business (SB) Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The consolidation is necessary to achieve substantial benefits to the government, but it must also ensure that negative impacts on small business participation are mitigated. The determination outlines the market research conducted, alternative approaches considered, coordination with the Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization, and steps to include small business concerns. The related federal contract opportunity is for this consolidated HTRW A-E MATOC, which will support the USACE Kansas City District's Environmental Programs.

ARCHITECT- ENGINEER PROJECTS
(As prescribed by FAR 7.107-2 and AFARS 5107.107-2)
RATIONALE
1. Consolidation may provide substantial benefits to the Government. However, because of the potential impact on small business participation, before conducting an acquisition that is a consolidation of requirements with an estimated total dollar value exceeding $2 million, a written determination shall be made that the consolidation is necessary and justified in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 657q, after ensuring that--
(a) Market research has been conducted;
(b) Any alternative contracting approaches that would involve a lesser degree of consolidation have been identified;
(c) The determination is coordinated with the agency's Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization or the Office of Small Business Programs;
(d) Any negative impact by the acquisition strategy on contracting with small business concerns has been identified; and
(e) Steps are taken to include small business concerns in the acquisition strategy.
2. Introduction: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City District (NWK) plans to solicit offers for the procurement of a Small Business (SB) Indefinite- Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Architect – Engineer (A-E) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) A-E activities in support of the Environmental Program and has conducted market research that demonstrates consolidation of this procurement to be both necessary and justified.
