About this file
This document is a set of industry questions related to a potential Multiple Award Contract (MACC) Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for construction services at Travis Air Force Base. The government is seeking feedback from potential contractors on key contract structure elements, including subcontracting limitations, task order competition methodology, and contractor capabilities. Specific areas of inquiry include contractors' ability to perform work organically versus subcontracting, preferred evaluation methods for task orders, firm capacity, local surge periods that might impact bidding, bonding capabilities, and potential challenges with the proposed contract approach.
The contemplated BOA would allow task orders up to approximately $XXK, with approximately XX orders anticipated annually. The government plans to conduct a technical evaluation involving a concept design submission using a "dummy" requirement across multiple construction disciplines to assess contractor methodology. Task orders would be competed solely on price and price-related factors among agreement holders. The opportunity is focused on small businesses under a specific NAICS code, with subcontracting restrictions limiting payments to non-similarly situated entities to 85% of the government contract amount, excluding material costs.

The government intends to utilize FAR 16.703 basic ordering agreements for the described acquisition. An agreement is not a contract and therefore would not bind the government upon the issuance of an agreement. Work to be done will be issued through the completion of an order under an individual ordering agreement. What are the limitations that industry faces if any with the proposed contract type of a basic ordering agreement?
It is contemplated that a technical evaluation will be conducted to determine the contractor’s ability to perform. The potential evaluation would require the contractor to submit a concept design based on a “dummy” requirement that would include multiple construction disciplines to show the contractors methodology. Would this method negatively impact your ability to provide a response to the ordering solicitation?
For this requirement contractors may be required to complete projects with a wide range of construction disciplines, FAR 19.505(b)(1)(iii) states, “…the concern will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.” If your firm is a small business under NAICS “XXXXX”, roughly how much work could you complete organically vs. the amount of work to be subcontracted out?
Under the contemplated agreement, the task order would be competed amongst all individuals that have an agreement for the type of work with the award of the task order being made solely on price, and price related factors. Would this method be suitable? If this method is not suitable what method of evaluation at the task order level would be appropriate?
The individual agreements would have no overall ceiling, the individual orders are contemplated to be no higher than $XXXK with roughly XX orders per year. What is the expected capacity for your firm based on the information provided?
Locally, when is the traditional surge period, that may preclude your firm from bidding due to oversaturation of orders/capacity to complete work?
Are there any concerns with the proposed method that has not been addressed previously?
What is your firms current bonding capabilities in accordance with Far 28.102. Can your firm obtain performance and payment bonds?
