PROCUREMENT OBJECTIVES

The FBI intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contracts for Architectural, Engineering and Planning (AEP) services for the Facilities Acquisition Unit

(FAU) of the Finance and Facilities Division (FFD). The contracts will be Firm-Fixed Price

(FFP) with a one-year base period with four (4) one-year option periods.

Due to the volume of work anticipated at certain locations, the FBI intends to establish multiple geographical regions for which firms may compete for award (listed below). The Government anticipates awarding approximately 3-4 awards per region. More awards may be made if necessary to ensure coverage in all regions. Depending on the results of market research and other Government requirements, the FBI may determine to set-aside a portion of awards for small business.

• Region 1 National Capital Region (including Quantico): Services may be performed at any FBI facility within the District of Columbia; Prince Georges and Montgomery

Counties in Maryland; Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties in

Virginia; and all cities and towns included within the outer boundaries of the foregoing counties. Offerors with their home (Headquarters) or a major regional office within a

110-mile radius of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Headquarters will be eligible to compete for award.

• Region 2 Huntsville, Alabama: Supports FBI work at the FBI Complex at the Redstone

Arsenal. Offerors with their home (Headquarters) or a major regional office within a 200-mile radius of the FBI Redstone Campus will be eligible to compete for award.

• Region 3 West Virginia: Services may be performed at Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Offerors with their home (Headquarters) or a major regional office within a 200-mile radius of the FBI Campus will be eligible to compete for award.

• Services may also be performed at other FBI facilities throughout the United States. If the project does not fall within the geographical boundaries of the 3 Regions listed above, then fair opportunity will be provided to firms within all 3 Regions, and they will be eligible for award provided the individual state’s licensure and registration requirements can be met.
