PROGRAM DETAILS:

The MACC program is defined as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract entered into with two or more sources pursuant to the same solicitation. The envisioned MACC program is a firm-fixed price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that provides a vehicle for the execution of a broad range of maintenance, repair, and minor construction projects. Contractors will be expected to accomplish a wide variety of individual construction tasks, including design/build (ranging from 35% up to 100% level of effort), renovation, additions/upgrades, along with specific work in Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning, electrical, mechanical and other major trades. In-house design capability or ready access to design capability is required. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for work performed will be NAICS Code No. 238990.

During the life of the contract, projects will be identified as task orders and will be competed amongst those successful contractor(s) who receive a basic contract under the MACC.

Individual task orders are anticipated to range between $2K - $25M / (¥) Yen equivalent. The total program value will not exceed $980M / (¥) Yen equivalent over a seven-year period. The number of awards the Government will award is still under consideration, however, at this point the Government anticipates awarding a minimum of five

(5) contracts. Each contract awarded will contain an initial ordering period of five years and may extend the contract period for one or more successive periods, not to exceed seven years total, pursuant to a modification of the contract. Performance bonds will be required per individual task order in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 28.

NOTE: This MACC program will be performed in its entirety in the country of Japan. The successful offeror must be licensed and registered to perform work in the country of Japan.

The information requested by this RFI will be used within the USAF to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. However, respondents submitting business information pursuant to this RFI should consult 41 C.F.R. parts 105-60 and other implementing regulations concerning the release of such information to third parties under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
