Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A.1 Objective. The objective of this contract is to procure services from a contractor to perform International

Remediation and Environmental Services. Contractors will perform Military Munitions Response (MMR) services involving Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH), Chemical Warfare Material (CWM), and Biological Warfare Material (BWM); Environmental Compliance and Remediation Services (ECRS) involving primarily Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) including Biological Waste and Munitions Constituents (MC), and Other Munitions Related Services (OMRS) as necessary to permit lands and waters to be safely and efficiently used for their intended purpose.

A.2 Contract Type. The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) intends to award Multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) type contracts. The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to all qualifying offerors as stated in FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). This requirement will be competed on an unrestricted basis and will result in Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOCs). The total programmatic capacity for the MATOC is $750 Million for services. Individual capacities will not be assigned to each contract. Under this MATOC, task orders will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost- Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF).

A.3 Contract Term. This MATOC will have a base ordering period of thirty-six (36) months with two (2) 12-month option periods. There is no guarantee that the option will be exercised on the awarded contract. The period of performance shall be set at the time of award. The Government may extend the ordering period in accordance with terms in FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Pricing for FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated at the Task Order Level.

The Government may extend the term of the contract in accordance with FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. The Government reserves the right to make staggered awards. Later awarded contracts will have an initial period of performance that will be less than the full 36-month base period in duration and will end on the same date as all other contractors which receive a basic MATOC award.

Option periods will be the same for all awardees. If determined to be in the Government’s interest to hold discussions, discussions may be held with offerors remaining in the competitive range after initial awards have been made to some offerors.

A.4 Contract Ordering. Task orders will be awarded against the base MATOC/IDIQ contracts using the fair opportunity procedures pursuant to FAR 16.5 and in accordance with the instructions listed in Section H.3, Method of Ordering. The Government is under no obligation to issue any orders against this contract in excess of the minimum contract obligation of $3,000.00. The only authorized ordering office is CEHNC.

Other agencies may be delegated this authority, in which case, an advance written notice will be given to the contractor. In addition to, or in lieu of mailing an order, the Contracting Officer may issue an order orally, by facsimile or by electronic commerce methods, at his / her discretion.

A.5 Contract Capacity. The estimated maximum contract capacity is $750,000,000.00 over a period of five years (if all options are exercised) for this acquisition. The Contracting Officer will ensure cost/price is evaluated at the task order level. Values provided under the Contract Line Item Numbers represent the estimated capacity only and the Government reserves the right to move capacity between CLINs and performance periods as necessary.

A.6 Minimum Guarantee. The government’s minimum guarantee of $3000.00 extends throughout the period of performance of the Indefinite Delivery Contract. Funding for this minimum guarantee will be obligated on the first task order, issued at the time of base contract award. This is the minimum ordering amount; not a minimum payment. Payment under the subsequent task order award(s) in an amount meeting/exceeding the minimum guarantee satisfies the minimum guarantee. The initial task order may then be deobligated and closed.

A.7 Contract On-Ramps/Off-Ramps. In an effort to increase competition, the CEHNC Contracting Officer may evaluate the market every 12 - 18 months throughout the life of the MATOC to determine if it is in the Government’s best interest to open a contract “On-Ramp.” Whereas, “Off-Ramp” are considered at the exercise of an option year. During a contract “On-Ramp” the Government will accept and evaluate new proposals with the intention of adding additional contractors to the MATOC pool, to refresh the pool’s competition. These proposals shall be subject to the same proposal instructions and evaluation procedures as contained in the original solicitation. During a contract “Off-Ramp”, the Contracting Officer may not exercise an option. The file should be documented to show the Contracting Officer decision not to exercise an option. Alternatively, Contractors can request to be placed in a dormant status if they are knowingly unable to propose for a period of time. A contractor who is in dormant status cannot be “Off-Ramped”.

Dormant Status. Due to extenuating circumstances (not related to performance), contractors that do not propose can request to be placed in a dormant status. Contractors in dormant status cannot compete in new task order solicitations; however, they may continue to work on awarded task orders. Dormant status is granted for a defined finite time period, at the expiration of the time the contractor will be expected to compete on task orders. The Contracting Officer is the approving authority for dormant status.

Competition for inclusion in the MATOC pool will be sought, promoted, and sustained by querying the System of Award Management (SAM), synopsizing proposed actions, and posting the solicitation in the Government-wide point of entry website (https://beta.sam.gov/).

Only a warranted Contracting Officer acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.
