OCONUS areas include the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Western Asia, South America, Hawaii, the Far East, and Marianas.

Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Notice, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest. This is not a solicitation but a Sources Sought only.

After review of the responses submitted, a solicitation announcement will be published at https://sam.gov if the Government intends to continue with the procurement.

The NAICS code for this proposed procurement is 541330 (small business size standard is $25.5 million). The procurement method will be in accordance with 40 USC, Chapter 11, Selection of Architects and Engineers. If a solicitation is issued, the contract will consist of a base period of one year and four (4) one-year options totaling five (5) years of performance. The anticipated total work to be issued over the life of the contract via task orders shall not exceed the estimated maximum amount of $15 million.

The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for multi-discipline Architect-Engineer (AE) services for Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) and Range Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (RAICUZ) Studies, and other encroachment management or readiness sustainment and compatibility-related services. The primary geographic area covered by this contract will be CONUS, but may also include work worldwide.

The type of services expected to be performed under this contract include the following:

1. AICUZ, RAICUZ and Range Compatible Use Zones (RCUZ) Studies: Preparation of, or updates to, AICUZ/RAICUZ/RCUZ studies, including collection and analysis of current/projected operational data; preparation/analysis of noise exposure contours and public safety zones; and analysis of/recommendations for land use compatibility. The AICUZ Studies prepared under this contract shall be developed in accordance with the current version of joint Navy/Marine Corps AICUZ policy, Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 11010.36D / Marine Corps Order (MCO) 11010.16A, or most current issuance. The RAICUZ and RCUZ Studies shall be developed in accordance with the Navy RAICUZ Program policy, OPNAVINST 3550.1B and MCO 3550.13, or most current issuance.

2. Aircraft/Aircraft Weaponry/Explosives/Large-Caliber Weapons and Small Arms Noise Studies: Preparation of a technical report, independent of Compatible Use Study, to define operational data, run noise models, and develop noise exposure contours and/or supplemental metrics to describe the current or projected noise environment.

3. Airfield/Range Safety Studies: Preparation of a technical report, independent of Compatible

Use Study, to analyze operational data, run models (if applicable) to develop safety areas for compatible use planning, safety of flight areas, and determine level of risk.

4. Encroachment Action Plans (EAP): Preparation of or updates to Encroachment Action Plans, including development/updates of Military Influence Areas (MIA); analysis of encroachment concerns and mitigation strategies within the MIA; and detailed engagement plans to implement findings and recommendations of the EAP. The EAP submittals should be prepared for integration into the Mission Compatibility Assessment Tool (MCAT) Encroachment Management Implementation (EMI) module.

5. Other encroachment/readiness sustainment and compatibility services: Preparation of specialized compatible land use planning studies, such as on-base AICUZ compatibility assessments/implementation plans; detailed analysis of local land use plans and development trends; strategic engagement plans; other special planning, encroachment-support submittals, such as socio-economic studies.

6. Compatibility Programs Outreach Materials: Preparation of community outreach and compatibility planning materials (such as public meeting plans, communication plans, presentations, brochures, special maps, videos, webpage material) that include information from studies prepared under this contract including, operational missions, economic impacts, operational tempo, compatible use zones, and compatible land use planning. These materials convey technical information and guidelines to implement and/or communicate the AICUZ/RAICUZ studies or overall Compatible Use Programs objectives or readiness sustainment and mission compatibility.

Additional requirements under this contract may include, but are not limited to:

a) Studies and specialized compatible use, mission sustainment and noise-related planning and engineering services such as, acoustical measurements and analysis associated with sound levels of aircraft operations and environmental/community noise exposure; airspace and airfield operational capacity analysis using the Naval Aviation Simulation Model (NASMOD) tool. These services are additional tools to assess and potentially mitigate incompatible land use concerns identified in Studies prepared under this contract.

b) Planning Events: Community Planning & Liaison Officer (CPLO) workshops or other compatibility planning meetings for stakeholder input on encroachment challenges/issues, assessing risks, developing action plans etc. Services would include development and preparation of documentation related to the above workshop/planning services, including:

pre-event planning materials, presentations, briefing materials and after action reports.
