Description:

The Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC)/772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (ESS) and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) is seeking qualifications of SMALL BUSINESSES to determine if there are a reasonable number of capable small business concerns to set this project aside for Small Businesses or another socio-economic category. If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), have experience as noted below, and are interested in this project, please respond appropriately.

In addition, firms are desired to have experience with applicable Department of Defense and Air Force Facility criteria/instructions related to Secure Area Renovations.

As a result of this sources sought, the Air Force intends to solicit a Single, Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Stand-Alone C Contract through the FAR Part 14 Invitation for Bid process. The low bidder will be asked to complete a Pre-Award Survey for the Air Force to determine Responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. In this evaluation, the Air Force will evaluate the Bidder’s capability as it relates to their organizational structure, specific experience of the firm and its key personnel with major multi-disciplinary design and renovation of multi-floor facilities, as well as past performance and financial responsibility. The low bidder must be determined to be responsible in all of these areas, for the Air Force to make an award. This sources sought seeks contractor capabilities in these areas, to be able to determine the most appropriate acquisition strategy for this major construction renovation.

The NAICS code for this project is 236220 - Engineering Services with a Small Business size standard of $45M.

The Government will evaluate responses to sources sought and determine if a Small Business (SB) set-aside or any of the targeted socio-economic programs (HUB Zone, 8(a) Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or Women Owned Small Business), is appropriate for this FFP contract. Therefore, AFICC/772 ESS is seeking input from industry to assist in establishing the most logical acquisition strategy.

FAR 52.219-14 Limitations in Sub-Contracting requires the Prime Contractor to perform 15 percent of the work. If this contract solicitation is 100 percent set aside for Small Business or other socio-economic category, similarly situated entities (i.e. other Small Businesses, or other socio-economic category) can team with the Prime Offeror to ensure the 15 percent minimum self-performance is met.
