GENERAL INFORMATION:

The 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron/Environmental Services Contracting (772 ESS/PKS) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Lackland, TX, is planning to contract with firms to perform environmental services and construction to address environmental needs at Air Force installation locations within Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) regions in accordance with technical and regulatory requirements. If or when the RFP is issued, the Government will seek to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts utilizing 100% competitive Small Business Set-Aside. All categories of small businesses are being looked at during our market research phase.

The 772 ESS/PKS anticipates the award of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to multiple firms using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 562910, and size standard of 500 employees.

772 ESS/PKS is considering the inclusion of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) pricing arrangements in each contract. Additionally, we currently anticipate that each contract will have a five (5) year basic ordering period with performance to continue up to 36 months after the end of the ordering period. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/) will be mandatory for these contracts.

It is anticipated that contractors will be required to provide for environmental conservation, environmental compliance, pollution prevention, environmental remediation, and environmental operations and maintenance support activities necessary to support AF and Air Force Civil Engineer Center AFCEC environmental mission requirements. Activities include but are not limited to: Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Compliance Assessment and Management Program (ESOHCAMP); air quality; cultural resources; hazardous material management; hazardous waste management; natural resources; pollution prevention; remedial action operations and maintenance; long term monitoring; pesticide management; petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) management; solid waste management; storage tank management; asbestos, radon, lead-based paint and other lead-containing materials; waste water and storm water annual permitting; drinking water surveillance; ordnance removal and disposal; precision leak testing; environmental baseline surveys (EBSs); and environmental impact analysis process (EIAP). Examples of specific services include tasks such as operating and maintaining pollution control or remedial action operations equipment; characterizing waste streams; environmental monitoring, sampling, and analysis; operating a hazardous waste accumulation site; and updating existing environmental plans.

The following are not expected to be included in the scope of any contract: stand-alone design, traditional construction, advisory and assistance services, and basic research.
