A-E IDIQ Consolidation DF -.pdf

This document is a Consolidation Determination and Findings for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Construction and Facilities Management (CFM). The document outlines plans to solicit a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle for Architect and Engineering (AE) services related to healthcare facilities. The enterprise-wide IDIQ will be a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS 541330, with an anticipated award of 15-20 contracts by October 2025. Each contract will have a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods, with a minimum guarantee of $2,000 and a total ceiling of $790 million.

The consolidation aims to improve procurement efficiency by combining previously separate regional IDIQ vehicles into a single nationwide contract. Key benefits include streamlining the solicitation process, reducing administrative costs, increasing competition, and providing multiple opportunities for SDVOSB firms to compete for task orders. The procurement strategy will allow approximately 20 contract holders to provide AE services without geographical restrictions, with a source selection evaluation board consisting of five technical experts, one contracting officer, and contract specialists. The VA's primary goal is to obtain timely, high-quality AE services efficiently, as the agency cannot provide these services internally.
